Where Does Steadyflow Store Downloads and History?

Where Steadyflow keeps active downloads, history and preferences on Linux desktops for backup.

Last updated

Steadyflow centers on its indicator applet: downloads queue in the background while the window stays closed. Queue, history and options live in one config folder under XDG config. Finished files land in a chosen download directory.

Copy config with downloads stopped for a clean move. The applet and the window share state, so quitting one quits both. History restores with the folder; finished files need their own copy.

Where Steadyflow stores this, by platform

Linux
~/.config/steadyflow

Queue, history and options under XDG config. Applet and window share it. Stop downloads before copying so resume state writes cleanly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I migrate Steadyflow to a new install?

Close Steadyflow and copy its config folder plus the download directory. Queue and history travel in config, finished files in downloads. The indicator applet reads the same config, so both update together.

Where does Steadyflow save files?

Open File Preferences and read the download directory. The default sits under home Downloads. The indicator menu opens the same dialog without launching the full window.
