Where are my project files stored?

Where are my project files stored?

ButterKit projects are saved as .butterkit files wherever you choose on your Mac. There is no cloud storage or account required – your files are always local and under your control.

Project file structure

A .butterkit file is a package (folder) that contains:

  • Your project data and settings
  • Captured screenshot images (in the assets folder)
  • Template and design configurations

To explore the contents, right-click a .butterkit file in Finder and select Show Package Contents.

Backup recommendations

Since projects are local files, we recommend:

  • Storing projects in a folder synced by iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or similar
  • Regular backups via Time Machine or your preferred backup solution
  • Version control (git) if you’re managing projects as part of a development workflow
