Data

Base

There are two types of base directories: global and vault.

Global

• Shared between stable and nightly builds (staging and dev builds use different folders).
• On macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/hyprnote/
• On Linux: ~/.local/share/hyprnote/

Contents:

• db.sqlite — local SQLite database (sessions, contacts, calendar events, tags)
• models/stt/ — downloaded speech-to-text model files
• store.json — app state (onboarding status, pinned tabs, recently opened sessions, dismissed toasts, analytics preference, auth tokens)
• hyprnote.json — vault configuration (custom vault path if set)
• search/ — full-text search index (Tantivy)

Vault

• Customizable, defaults to be the same as global base for backward compatibility.
• You can change the vault location in Settings > General.

Contents:

• sessions/ — one subdirectory per session, each containing:
  • _meta.json — session metadata (title, created date, participants)
  • memo.md — raw notes in Markdown with YAML frontmatter
  • transcript.json — transcription data (words, timestamps, speakers)
  • *.md — AI-generated enhanced notes (summaries, action items)
  • attachments/ — file attachments
  • Audio .wav files — recorded audio
• humans/ — contact and participant data
• organizations/ — organization data
• chats/ — chat conversation data
• prompts/ — custom prompt templates
• settings.json — app settings

Logs

Application logs are stored in the system app log directory as rotating files (app.log, app.log.1, etc.).
