Where things are stored

Settings live in the plugin’s data.json, including your Knowii session (the sign-in cookies), so it travels with your vault to your other devices. Keep that file private: anyone with a copy can use your Knowii account.

The page you were on, whether you have seen the welcome card, which items you have already been notified about, what you marked as read or archived, and the recent activity found by watching the whole community are stored per device, in Obsidian’s local storage, so they never travel with your vault.
