BoltAI stores all your data in a SQLite database on your machine. Don't forget to take backup regularly to prevent data loss.

Backup your data

In BoltAI, go to Settings > Advanced > Data Management. Click "Take a full backup..." and save the database file to a safe location.

How to restore your database

Restoring your database is trickier. First, locate the database on your machine.

BoltAI store your data in the following location:

For Standalone version:

  • Find db.sqlite3in ~/Library/Application Support/co.podzim.BoltGPT

For Setapp version:

  • Your database is stored in ~/Library/Application Support/co.podzim.BoltGPT-setapp

  1. Quit BoltAI

  2. Replace db.sqlite3 with the database file you've backed up

  3. Re-open BoltAI
