Project data
Projects live atDocuments/Koharu/<project-name>.khrproj/. Each contains alternating durable state files and content-addressed blobs for source images, generated artwork, and authored raster edits.
Settings and credentials
Non-secret typed settings live in~/.koharu/config.toml, with sections owned by pipeline, translation providers, typesetting, and Agent. Missing settings use defaults. Invalid manual edits can prevent initialization; use the Settings UI.
Provider credentials use the operating system’s secure credential service. A project backup does not include provider keys or the Agent account session.
Runtime and model cache
Packages are stored at<cache>/koharu/packages/ under the operating system cache directory. This data is replaceable: removing it while Koharu is closed causes the required packages to download again.
Never remove a package while the desktop process may still have a native library loaded.
Back up safely
1
Close the project
Finish current work before copying its files.
2
Copy the entire directory
Keep the state files and blobs together. A PSD export is not a project backup.
3
Save settings separately
Copy
config.toml if needed. Reconfigure credentials through Koharu on the restored machine.
