Where Does Orion Browser Store Profiles?
Orion keeps profiles in Application Support Orion on Mac, with bookmarks, history, and extensions per profile folder.
Last updated
Orion keeps profiles under ~/Library/Application Support/Orion, with the Default profile holding favourites.plist, history, and browser_state.plist. Extensions sit in an Extensions subfolder per profile. App preferences live separately in the Kagi plist.
That split decides backups. Copy the profile tree for data and the plist for window behavior. Cache and WebKit storage rebuild on their own, so leave those behind. iOS keeps everything in its own sandbox with Orion Sync bridging the two.
Where Orion Browser stores this, by platform
~/Library/Application Support/Orion
Favourites, history, extensions, and sessions per profile. Preferences live in ~/Library/Preferences/com.kagi.kagimacOS.plist. Quit Orion before copying.
On My iPhone/Orion
Sandboxed container with no browsable profile path. Manage data inside Orion settings and bridge Macs through Orion Sync. Reinstalls restore from sync, not files.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Orion to a new Mac?
Quit Orion and copy the whole Orion folder plus the com.kagi.kagimacOS plist to the same spots on the new Mac. Profiles, extensions, and settings travel together. Sign back into Orion Sync afterwards to reconcile cloud state.
How do I fully reset Orion?
Delete the Orion folder in Application Support and the com.kagi.kagimacOS defaults with Orion quit. Bookmarks, history, and extensions reset together. Export bookmarks to HTML first when anything matters.
