Data directory

Default location

Platform	Directory
Windows	%LOCALAPPDATA%\Boardroom
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/Boardroom
Linux	$XDG_DATA_HOME/boardroom, or ~/.local/share/boardroom

Every command accepts --data-dir <directory> to use another location. The default keeps data outside the application directory; choose an external location when overriding it too.

Contents

Path	Purpose
domain.sqlite	Projects, evidence, recorded/live meetings, routes, framing, analyses, proposals, views, human decisions, call receipts and exports, plus an append-only event journal
snapshots/<sha256>	Original source bytes, and content-addressed document extractions, written once and never modified
checkpoints.sqlite	Created by doctor’s separate LangGraph probe; not used by the recorded example

Live graphs also use separate phase checkpoint databases containing identities rather than authoritative business records. See the architecture. Credentials live in the host vault or an explicitly injected process-local store, not shareable project configuration.

Exports, traces and isolation reports are written where you point --output; that destination may be within or outside your data directory.

Local files and databases are readable by the machine owner. Saved source paths may reveal local directory names.
