🗂 In short: Stackwallet has no in-app file folders, but it organises things with wallets, favourites and an address book. On disk, it keeps a local data folder (the vault) — sensitive, and backed up by your seed.

Stackwallet Folder & Wallet Structure Explained

"Folder structure" means two different things for a wallet: how you organise wallets inside the app, and where Stackwallet keeps its data on disk. This guide covers both, honestly.

Organising Inside the App

Stackwallet does not use file-style folders in the interface. Instead, it gives power users a few practical tools to keep a multi-coin setup tidy: separate wallets for different coins or purposes, favourite wallets for the ones you touch most, and an address book for frequently used addresses. Used together, these play the role that folders would in a file manager — structure without clutter.

Wallets & Favourites

  • Create a wallet per coin or purpose
  • Name each one clearly
  • Mark frequent ones as favourites

Address Book

  • Save addresses you reuse
  • Label each with plain-text context
  • Keep it free of any secrets

Where Stackwallet Stores Data on Disk

The other meaning of "folder structure" is literal: where the app keeps its files. On desktop, Stackwallet stores a local data folder in your user profile's application-data area, holding its vault and settings. This is the on-device storage that makes the wallet non-custodial — but it also means the folder is sensitive, because your keys live there. Do not share it, and do not assume copying that folder is a substitute for a proper backup.

Important: the real backup is not this folder — it is your recovery seed phrase, stored offline. If your disk fails or the folder is lost, the seed is what restores everything. See back up your vault.
