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! ✨
On Windows
