  1. Chat UI

Locations

This feature is in beta. Make sure to backup your data before proceeding.

BoltAI stores data (chats, folders, AI services...) locally. By changing these locations, you can switch between multiple "profiles" with different data and content.

Locations

To change the data locations, go to Settings > Advanced > Locations

BoltAI stores your data in 2 folders:

  1. App data folder: Contains app's main data: folders, chats, AI services, model configurations, AI Commands, AI Assistants, Prompts... You may find generated images, speech files and screenshots here from the previous app versions. Default Location: ~/Library/Application Support/co.podzim.BoltGPT

  2. Media folder: Contains generated images, speech files, screenshots... Default Location: ~/Pictures/BoltAI

Once you've updated the location, restart BoltAI for the changes to take effect.

Cloud Folder

If you choose to store your data on a cloud folder like iCloud Drive or Dropbox, make sure to set the same Encryption Key for all your devices.

Learn more here: Cloud Sync Workaround

STORING DATA ON A CLOUD FOLDER MIGHT RESULT IN DATA LOSS. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. - You will need to manage your own data, and resolve the conflicts yourself. We do not take responsible in case of data loss. - BoltAI encrypts your API keys. To sync API keys across devices, make sure to use the same Encryption Key on these devices.
