Last updated
Workrave centers on a small folder in home holding timer limits, break history and preferences. Micro pauses, rest breaks and daily limits derive from those files.
That compact design makes moves one copy with the app quit. Partial copies split limits from history, which skews statistics. Keep the whole folder for faithful restores.
Where Workrave stores this, by platform
~/.config/workrave/workrave.ini
Timer limits, break history and preferences below one root. Back up with Workrave quit. Statistics derive from history files, so include the full folder.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Workrave settings?
Copy the workrave folder with Workrave quit. Timer limits, break history and preferences travel with it. Statistics rebuild from history on launch, so keep the full folder rather than single files.
Where is my break history?
In the history files inside the workrave folder, not as separate documents. The app reads them at launch for statistics. Export reports from inside Workrave for portable copies outside the program.
