jinion

The ~/.jinion folder

Where Jinion keeps its settings, conversations, memory, accounts and logs.

Jinion keeps everything on your machine, in ~/.jinion. Set JINION_HOME to use another folder.

A project's folder is named after its path, with every character other than letters and digits turned into -.

Files

PathWhat it holds
settings.jsonThe model and account you picked last, the status line, MCP servers you turned off, and whether worktrees are on
limits.jsonEach account's plan limits when it was last used, shown in /account
mcp.jsonMCP servers only Jinion uses, in the same format as .mcp.json
memory/User notes, as Markdown files you can edit
accounts/claude/<name>/Each extra account's login
plugins/Your skills, linked so the agent can load them
usage/claude.jsonDays /stats has counted, so it only reads what was added
logs/<time>.jsonlA debug log per --debug session
projects/<project>/settings.jsonThe project's mode, and its .mcp.json servers you turned on
projects/<project>/permissions.jsonRules you saved with "don't ask again"
projects/<project>/memory/Project notes
projects/<project>/plugins/The project's skills, linked so the agent can load them
projects/<project>/sessions/The project's conversations
projects/<project>/worktrees/The worktrees its conversations work in

Back up or move

Copy the folder to keep your conversations, memory and settings. To start fresh, delete it; Jinion creates it again on the next run. Your Claude login isn't in it, except for accounts you added with /account.
