Data storage

Your to-do list and settings are saved in PolentaToDoWallpaper.settings.json on your PC. Where that file lives depends on how you run the app:

• Portable download: next to the executable. The zip includes PolentaToDoWallpaper.deploy.json with portable mode.
• Installer: under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Polenta Connection\PolentaToDoWallpaper. The installer sets installed mode automatically.

Your data stays on your computer.
