Moving to a new computer
Take your plan — and, if you like, About you and your learned writing style — to a new Mac or PC.
Move your plan
- On the old computer: open Settings → Plan & usage and click Remove from this Mac (or Remove from this PC). This frees your key's slot.
- On the new computer: install Veda, then paste your key into Settings → Plan & usage and click Activate. See Licence keys.
A key works on one computer at a time. If the old computer is gone and you can't remove the key there, the new one will say the key is already in use on another computer. Write to support@getveda.app from the address you paid with and we'll free it.
Bring your writing style (optional)
About you, your notes, the learned profile and writing samples live in files on the old computer — they're never stored on our server, so they don't follow you automatically. To bring them across:
| Mac | Windows | |
|---|---|---|
| Folder | ~/Library/Application Support/Veda/ | %AppData%\Veda\ |
| About you | config.json (the aboutYou part) | config.json |
| Anything else Veda should know? | identity.md | identity.md |
| Learned profile | style.md | style.md |
| Writing samples | samples.jsonl | samples.jsonl |
- Install Veda on the new computer and open it once, so the folder exists.
- Quit Veda from its menu-bar or tray panel.
- Copy the files above from the old computer's folder into the same folder on the new one, replacing what's there.
- Open Veda again.
The Show folder button on Veda's Privacy page opens this folder for you.
What doesn't move
- Settings like your trigger key and presets are quick to set again — the trigger key is different on Mac and Windows anyway.
- Usage history — the Home heatmap and weekly recap start fresh.
