Overview

Back up your Superwhisper settings to:
  • Move to a new computer: transfer your whole setup
  • Use several devices: keep the same modes and vocabulary everywhere
  • Protect your data: guard against accidental deletion
  • Share a setup: give a colleague your dictation configuration

​
Configuration location

By default, Superwhisper saves all configuration files in the ~/superwhisper folder in your home directory. To use a different location, change it in advanced settings.
Installs from before the default changed may still use ~/Documents/superwhisper. You can check your current location in Settings → Configuration → Advanced.
Superwhisper Configuration Files Location The folder contains these subdirectories:
  • Models: configuration files of custom models you’ve added
  • Modes: all modes you’ve created or customized
  • Settings: vocabulary lists and text replacements
  • Recordings: your dictation history files

​
