Where Does the Superlist Desktop App Store Data?
Superlist keeps its desktop cache in the Electron userData folder, while lists and tasks live in the cloud.
Last updated
Superlist is cloud first, and the desktop folder mirrors that design. Cache, window state and login session sit on disk; your lists do not. Wiping the folder is a logout, not data loss.
Use the standard per OS path below. If the folder name differs on your build, launch Superlist, then sort the parent directory by date and pick the newcomer.
Where Superlist stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Superlist
Cache plus settings in one tree. Close Superlist from the tray first. Clearing it resolves most stuck sync and ghost task displays.
~/Library/Application Support/Superlist
Same layout. Quit fully before removing, since the app lingers in the menu bar. Everything returns on next sign in.
Frequently asked questions
is it safe to delete the superlist data folder
Yes, once the app is quit and synced. Tasks and lists download again on login. Unsynced offline changes are the only possible loss.
does superlist keep local backups of my lists
No. The folder is a working cache, not an archive. Keep important lists safe in the cloud account itself rather than on disk.
