It's written in the FAQ section of the documentation...

Where is my data stored?

All your data is stored in a SQLite database in the data directory.

Thanks,btw is it possible to change the data directory?I thing its not in the settings but if its possible then it would be cool.

@RESDXChgfore9hing As the docs on directories states there is a XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable for config files. (according to the XDG basedir spec)

Similarly, there should be a XDG_DATA_HOME for data files, but seems to be undocumented. (If it doesn't work, let us know!)

These environment variables are probably only respected on Linux, however.

oh thats sad,it would be great if its cross platform but that you very much.
