Where Does Tangram Store Pinned Apps on Linux?
Where GNOME Tangram keeps pinned web apps and settings on Linux for backup and full moves.
Last updated
Tangram pins websites as separate WebKit applications with per pin data in its data folder plus settings beside them. Each pin keeps cookies apart like split browsers on every install.
Copy the data folder with Tangram closed for migration; logins need re-entering on the new install regardless. Pins point at URLs, so the web does the heavy lifting after restores. Reinstalls without copies wipe pins.
Where Tangram stores this, by platform
~/.local/share/tangram
Pinned apps with per pin data in one data folder. Logins need re-entering after moving. Copy with Tangram closed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Tangram pins to a new install?
Copy the data folder with Tangram closed, then verify pins on the new install. Pinned apps travel as files while cookies need fresh logins. Reinstalls without copies wipe pins.
Do Tangram pins share browser data?
Open Tangram sidebar and read the pinned entries; each wraps a site with its own storage. The entries always show the live set after changes. Unpinning deletes that wrapper only.
