Where is my Mental Case data kept?

This depends on the version of Mental Case you are running. For versions prior to 2.3, it is stored in the folder

<your user home>/Library/Application Support/Mental Case

Apple hide this Library folder, so you can't see it in the Finder.

To get to your data, open Finder, and follow these steps

  1. In Finder, go to your user home folder (house icon)
  2. Choose Go > Go to Folder...
  3. Enter this exactly as shown Library/Application Support/Mental Case
  4. You should now see your data. You can restore it, back it up, or copy it elsewhere.

For Mental Case 2.3 and later, you can find your data at the path

<your user home>/Library/Containers/com.mentalfaculty.mentalcase.mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Mental Case

To reach this folder, which is hidden,

  1. In Finder, go to your user home folder (house icon)
  2. Choose Go > Go to Folder...
  3. Enter this exactly as shown Library/Containers/com.mentalfaculty.mentalcase.mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Mental Case

This change was required to comply with the sandboxing requirements Apple has for apps sold through the Mac App Store.
