Where Does Textastic Store Files on iPhone?
Where Textastic keeps code files, remotes and settings on iPhone and iPad for backup and moves.
Last updated
Textastic splits iOS state three ways: code files in iCloud Drive or local storage, remote server entries with credentials, and editor settings in the app container. Each side backs up differently.
Remotes never transfer credentials, so re-add them by hand on new devices. Local files need manual copies before wipes. iCloud documents follow the account silently once sync finishes, so verify sync completed first.
Where Textastic stores this, by platform
iCloud Drive/Textastic
Code in iCloud or local per file with remotes listed separately. Credentials never transfer; re-add remotes by hand. Confirm per file side in the browser.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Textastic to a new iPhone?
Keep code in iCloud Drive or synced remotes, then copy local stragglers through Files. Remotes need re-adding with credentials on the new device. Settings travel with the app container.
Local, iCloud or remote: where is my file?
Open the file browser inside Textastic and read the location badges. iCloud, local and remote roots show separately. The badges always show the live side per file.
