Where Does Tiles Store Settings on Mac?

Tiles Mac window manager support, cache and preferences plist paths.

Last updated

Tiles keeps settings across the standard trio. Application Support holds working data. Caches sit separately with preferences in a plist.

The vendor support page lists all three for removal. That official list is the most reliable map available, so backup follows it exactly.

Where Tiles stores this, by platform

macOS
~/Library/Application Support/com.sempliva.Tiles

Working data and layouts. Cache and preferences plist beside it per the vendor removal guide. Distinct from any game or GNOME extension sharing the name.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up Tiles?

Copy the support folder plus the plist with the app quit. Layouts and license travel with them. Restoring means putting both back before launch.

How do I fully uninstall Tiles?

The vendor uninstall guide names the support, cache and preferences roots. Clearing all of them removes the app fully. That same list doubles as the complete backup set.
