Where is Tomboy data stored?

0.15.5 and earlier

All data was in one directory:

• Linux: ~/.tomboy/

• Mac: ~/.config/tomboy/

• Windows: %APPDATA%\tomboy\

0.15.6 and later

Linux

• Notes: ~/.local/share/tomboy/

• Configuration and add-ins: ~/.config/tomboy/

• Caches: ~/.cache/tomboy/

• Log: ~/.config/tomboy/tomboy.log

(NOTE: Tomboy actually follows the XDG Base Directory Spec here, so you can modify these locations by setting $XDG_DATA_HOME (defaults to ~/.local/share/), $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (defaults to ~/.config/), and $XDG_CACHE_HOME (defaults to ~/.cache/).

Mac OS X

• Notes: ~/Library/Application Support/Tomboy/

• Configuration and add-ins: ~/Library/Preferences/Tomboy/

• Caches: ~/Library/Caches/Tomboy/

• Log: ~/Library/Logs/Tomboy/tomboy.log

Windows

• Notes: %APPDATA%\Tomboy\notes\

• Configuration and add-ins: %APPDATA%\Tomboy\config\

• Caches: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Tomboy\cache\

• Log: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Tomboy\tomboy.log

Other Configuration Notes

On any operating system, you can override the location of the note directory by setting the TOMBOY_PATH environment variable.
