Where Your Data Is Stored

NuvoPad stores all data locally on your device. Nothing is transmitted to any server. The data directory is:

%APPDATA%\CybesisStudios.Nuvopad\

This directory contains:

  • nuvopad.dbYour notes, notebooks, tags, and settings — a single SQLite file
  • attachments/Files you attach to notes, stored with UUID-based filenames
  • logs/Application-level log files for diagnostics

📝 Note

To back up all your data, copy the entire %APPDATA%\CybesisStudios.Nuvopad\ folder to a safe location. To restore, replace the folder before launching the app.

First Launch

On first launch, NuvoPad automatically creates a sample notebook and a demo note that demonstrates the Markdown formatting available in the editor. You can edit or delete this note freely — your own notes are entirely separate.

Uninstalling

Uninstall NuvoPad through Settings → Apps → Installed apps. Uninstalling removes the application binary but does not delete your data directory.

To delete all data permanently, remove the %APPDATA%\CybesisStudios.Nuvopad\ folder manually after uninstalling. Alternatively, use Settings → About → Reset All Data before uninstalling to wipe the database and attachments from within the app.
