Application data locations
macOS application-data directory
Section titled “macOS application-data directory”On a standard macOS account, Synthezia resolves its application data under:
$HOME/Library/Application Support/com.synthezia.synthezia/| Location | Current contents | Important limit |
|---|---|---|
synthezia.db |
Session metadata, transcripts, summaries, statuses, errors, and search/index data | SQLCipher-encrypted, including the write-ahead log and FTS index. |
vault/audio/ |
Managed encrypted session audio | Session deletion and Delete all meetings remove it. |
models/ |
Downloaded Whisper files | Model Manager or the development-only full reset can remove them. |
ollama/models/ |
Models managed by bundled Ollama | A model pull uses the local runtime; deletion is model-specific. |
| macOS Keychain | Database/audio root secret and optional provider API key | Factory reset removes and replaces these secrets. |
| Webview local storage | Non-secret UI and model-selection preferences | Privacy policy and custom templates are not stored here. |
| User-selected destination | Markdown, PDF, and DOCX exports | Outside all Synthezia deletion actions. |
Imported source files remain in their original locations. Do not edit the database or application files as a normal recovery procedure.
