Where Is the Uncover Config File?
Uncover API key YAML configs with env fallback per OS.
Last updated
Uncover keeps API keys in two YAML files under the user config dir. Main config plus provider file share the folder. Env vars offer a fileless alternative per service.
Defaults follow per-OS config roots. Keep the pair together and out of shared repos.
Where Uncover stores this, by platform
~/.config/uncover/config.yaml
Main plus provider YAML with keys inside. Env fallback per service. Same pair per OS from source logic.

Same YAML pair under Application Support.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Uncover?
Copy the uncover config dir with no scan running. Main plus provider YAML travel together. Restoring means putting the dir back. Guard the file since keys live inside.
File or env vars?
Service prefixed env vars inject keys without files. Defaults resolve from the user config dir per OS. Source confirms both layers.
