Upgrading from Aura

Section titled “Upgrading from Aura”

If you previously had Aura installed, Nexira detects the old data directory on first start and shows a mandatory migration screen. Click Migrate now, wait for the copy to finish, then click Quit Nexira and re-launch. The original Aura folder is left untouched as a backup; delete it manually once you’ve confirmed everything works.

Where your data lives

Section titled “Where your data lives”
Platform Path
Windows %LOCALAPPDATA%\Nexira
macOS ~/Library/Application Support/Nexira
Linux $XDG_DATA_HOME/nexira (default ~/.local/share/nexira)

The install directory is separate – %AppData%\Nexira (Windows installer) or the AppImage location on Linux. User data (clients, settings, skin cache, crash reports, logs) lives at the paths above.

To override the default location for any platform, set the NEXIRA_DATA_DIR environment variable to an absolute path before launching. Alternatively, Settings → Data directory → Move picks a new location through a native folder picker and applies the move on next start.
