Workspace - Accountant24 Docs

Where the workspace is

By default the workspace is ~/.accountant24, a hidden folder in your home directory. Settings → About shows the exact path. Click the row to open the folder in the Finder.

What the workspace holds

The workspace is a git repository, so every change to your books is recoverable.

Path	What it holds	Versioned with git
`ledger/`	Your books as plain-text hledger journal files	Yes
`files/`	The bank statements, receipts, and other documents you attached in chat	Yes
`memory.md`	The agent’s memory	Yes
`plugins/`	Your installed plugins	Yes
`app-settings.json`	The app settings	Yes
`models.json`	Your local Ollama models, and any custom models you add by hand	Yes
`sessions/`	Your chats	No
`auth.json`	Your provider logins	No
`uv/`	Python and packages for plugin scripts, downloaded on first use and safe to delete	No

Use a different workspace

You can point the app at another folder, for example a second set of books, or a scratch workspace to try things out. Launch it with the --workspace flag from the terminal:

open -a Accountant24 --args --workspace ~/Demo

The path may be relative or start with ~. A folder that does not exist yet is created and seeded with a fresh ledger. The flag applies to that launch only. Without it the app opens ~/.accountant24 again.
