Where Does the Void Editor Store Settings?
Void keeps its user data in a Void folder in the OS app-data dir, with settings.json inside the User subfolder.
Last updated
Void is a VS Code fork, so its folders rhyme with Code's. User data lives in a Void folder: %APPDATA%\Void on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Void on macOS, ~/.config/Void on Linux. Plain settings sit in User/settings.json inside, while AI provider keys stay encrypted in the storage database.
Folder names have shifted across early builds, with dev installers using variants like oss-dev. If no Void folder exists, check the exact name before following any guide blindly. Importing VS Code profiles brings settings and extensions across in one go.
Where Void stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Void
Settings at User\settings.json inside; extensions and encrypted provider state beside it. Confirm the exact folder name on very old installs.
~/Library/Application Support/Void
Same User/settings.json layout as Windows. Use Go to Folder in Finder since Library is hidden.
~/.config/Void
Same layout. Profiles imported from VS Code land under User/profiles.
Frequently asked questions
How do I fully reset Void?
Quit Void completely, rename the Void user-data folder to Void.bak, and relaunch. A fresh folder appears. Delete the backup once you confirm the reset worked, since chats and keys live inside it.
Can I import my VS Code settings into Void?
Yes, Void offers a VS Code import that copies settings, keybindings, and extensions. Profiles transfer as well. Review provider keys afterward, since secrets do not always carry over.
