Where Does Tabby Store Settings?
Tabby config.yaml and profiles data folders on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Last updated
Tabby stores settings in config.yaml under a per-user config folder, with profiles and plugin data nearby. Color schemes and keybindings live in the same file.
One YAML file holds most customization. Copying it migrates the terminal setup; plugins need separate reinstalls.

How do I move Tabby settings?
Copy config.yaml (and the profiles data folder) to the same locations with Tabby closed. Reinstall plugins from the in-app manager afterward.
