How can I transfer my Station setup to another device?

Whether you want to copy or migrate your Station. Some of you want to start using Station on a different device without having to reinstall all your apps again. Or you are simply switching from a device to another. There is a cool trick to do that!

⚠️ Doing this does not mean Station will sync across devices. It's a one-off migration, changes to Station on one device won't appear on the other device.

On Mac

  • Be sure to have the latest version of Station on both devices

  • Quit the Station app completely on the source device

  • Execute the following command in your "Terminal": zip -r ~/Station_db.zip ~/Library/Application\ Support/Station/db

  • A zip file will be created in your "Home" folder - it is called "Station_db.zip"

  • On the destination machine, launch Station and quit the app. No need to login.

  • In Finder, Click on "Go" in the menu bar, then "Go to Folder..."

  • Enter "~/Library/Application Support/Station/db"

  • In this folder, copy the 3 files that are in the zip file that you generated from the source device (it will replace the old ones)

  • Launch Station on the destination machine and log in.

Voila! ✨
