Where Does Takoboto Store Dictionary and Lists?
Takoboto offline Japanese dictionary data and saved words on Android.
Last updated
Takoboto ships the Japanese dictionary offline inside app private storage: JMdict entries, kanji data and example sentences work with no signal after the initial download. Saved words, favorites and study lists live in the same app data.
There is no account or sync, so the phone holds everything. Reinstalls wipe years of saved vocabulary unless exported first. Copy lists out through the app export before upgrades and keep the installer handy for offline reinstalls.
Where Takoboto stores this, by platform
App-private storage (offline dictionary plus saved words)
Full offline lookup after data download. Export saved lists from settings regularly; no cloud copy exists. Reinstalling without an export loses favorites permanently.
Frequently asked questions
does Takoboto work offline
Yes, fully, once the dictionary data downloads on first run. Saved words and history stay on device too. Only example sentence audio or links need connectivity.
how do I back up Takoboto word lists
Export from the app to a file and copy it off the phone. There is no account sync to fall back on, so the export file is the entire backup strategy.
