Files and folders
Everything anz33 knows lives in one folder. No database, no registry sprawl, no application-support directory you have to be told about.
~/.anz33/ # macOS and Linux
C:\Users\<you>\.anz33\ # WindowsWhat is in it
| File | What it holds | Back up? |
|---|---|---|
config.json | Port and host, engine addresses, cloud remotes, whether cloud is allowed, battery saver, whether keys are required. | Yes |
policy.json | Your privacy rules, the airlock switch, offline mode. | Yes |
audit.jsonl | The hash-chained record of every routing decision and configuration change. | Yes — it is the evidence |
memory/ | One file per memory. | Yes |
skills/ | Skills you copied out with anz33 skills --install, and your edits to them. | Yes, if you edited them |
bench.json | Measured speed per engine and model. Rebuilt by anz33 bench. | No |
stats.jsonl | One line per request: engine, model, duration, tokens. | Optional |
logs/ | anz33-app.log from the desktop apps; anz33.log and anz33.err.log from the login service. | No |
first_run | When you first started anz33 — what the trial period counts from. | No |
Everything is text. Read it in any editor, keep the folder in a private git repository, sync it between your own machines. Delete any of it and anz33 rebuilds that piece with safe defaults.
Where the program itself is
| macOS app | /Applications/anz33.app — the CLI is inside it, at Contents/MacOS/anz33 |
| macOS CLI | /opt/homebrew/bin/anz33, /usr/local/bin/anz33 or ~/.local/bin/anz33 |
| Windows | C:\Program Files\anz33\, or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\anz33\ for a per-user install |
| Linux packages | /usr/bin/anz33 and /usr/bin/anz33-open |
| AppImage | wherever you put the file — it installs nothing |
The login service
anz33 install writes one file:
| macOS | ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.anz33.daemon.plist |
| Linux | ~/.config/systemd/user/anz33.service |
| Windows | a startup entry under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run, written by the installer or the tray app's "Open at Login" |
anz33 uninstall removes it again. Nothing is installed system-wide
and nothing needs administrator rights.
Taking your data out
anz33 export-memory ~/Desktop/my-memories # markdown + json
cp -r ~/.anz33 ~/Desktop/anz33-backup # or just copy the lotRemoving everything
anz33 uninstall
rm -rf ~/.anz33Then remove the program itself — drag the app to the Bin, use Add or Remove
Programs, or your package manager. On macOS, brew uninstall --zap --cask
anz33 clears the app and the folder together.
~/.anz33 is the only copy. There is no cloud backup,
because nothing about your setup is stored anywhere else. Deleting it deletes
your memories and your audit history.
