Where Does Valent Store Devices and Settings?
Valent phone integration config, data, cache and dconf settings on Linux.
Last updated
Valent splits state across XDG config, data and cache with a valent folder in each. Plugin and device subfolders branch beneath. Settings also surface in dconf under the app path.
Flatpak mirrors the trio under its sandbox. Cache wipes are safe while config and data are not. That split matches the maintainer troubleshooting docs.
Where Valent stores this, by platform
~/.config/valent
Config with device and plugin subfolders. Data and cache mirror the same tail folder. Settings also in dconf under the app path. Flatpak mirrors under the sandbox var tree.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Valent?
Copy the config and data folders with Valent stopped. Device pairings and plugin state travel with them. Restoring means putting both back before launch.
Native or Flatpak paths?
Flatpak builds mirror the same tree under the app sandbox var path. Native and Flatpak copies do not sync. Check which install runs before editing.
