Finding Log Files
Hyprnote stores logs in platform-specific directories following XDG Base Directory conventions. These logs contain detailed information about application events and can help diagnose issues.
macOS
~/Library/Logs/hyprnote/
The logs directory contains rolling daily logs with timestamped filenames, allowing you to review historical application events.
Windows
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\hyprnote\logs
Linux
~/.local/share/hyprnote/logs/
or
~/.config/hyprnote/logs/
Application Data Locations
If you need to inspect or back up your application data, here's where Hyprnote stores various files:
macOS
~/Library/Application Support/hyprnote/
├── db.sqlite # User database
├── config.json # App configuration
├── models/ # Downloaded AI models
│ ├── stt/ # Speech-to-text models

Debugging Tips
Frontend Issues
If you're experiencing UI-related problems:
- Open Developer Tools (View → Toggle Developer Tools)
- Check the Console tab for JavaScript errors
- Check the Network tab for failed requests
Backend Issues
For deeper investigation of backend problems:
- Check the log files in the locations above
- Look for error messages or stack traces
- Note the timestamps of when issues occurred
Performance Issues
If Hyprnote is running slowly:
- Check log files for any repeated errors
- Monitor system resources (CPU, memory, disk usage)
- Check if large models are being loaded
- Review session recordings for unusually large files
Common Issues
Cannot Find Logs
If the logs directory doesn't exist, it may mean:
- Hyprnote hasn't been launched yet
- Permissions prevent directory creation
- The app is using a different data directory
Clearing Old Data
To free up space, you can safely delete:
- Old log files from the logs directory
- Old session recordings from the sessions directory
Do not delete:
db.sqlite(contains your notes and data)config.json(contains your settings)- Model files (unless you want to re-download them)
