The paths shown are defaults that [environment variables](/reference/files#environment-variables) can move. ## The pitboard directory pitboard's directory is `~/.pitboard`, or the path in `PITBOARD_HOME`. The command line and the app share it. pitboard creates each directory at mode 0700 and each file at 0600, except those in `backups/`. An existing directory keeps its mode. pitboard refuses a directory whose path contains `Dropbox`, `Google Drive`, `OneDrive`, `com~apple~CloudDocs` or `Sync`, because parked logins belong to one machine. | File | Holds | Written by | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | `state.json` | The enrolled accounts: label, tool, email address, account identifiers, and each parked login's name and expiry | Every change pitboard makes, and renewals | | `state.lock` | The lock that lets one change or renewal run at a time | Every change pitboard makes, and renewals | | `journal.json` | The record of a switch while it runs. An interrupted switch leaves it behind, and the next change pitboard makes finishes or undoes it; see [Interrupted switches](/concepts/switching#interrupted-switches). | A switch | | `pending` | Names of parked logins about to be written, one per line. If a run is killed midway, the next change pitboard makes finds each login by its name here. Absent when there are none. | Switches, sign-ins and renewals | | `signin.lock` | The lock that allows one sign-in at a time | A sign-in | | `signin/` | The config directory a tool is given during a sign-in, so the login in use is left alone. Removed when the sign-in ends, or by the next sign-in if pitboard was stopped during one. | A sign-in | | `vault/` | Linux only: parked logins, one file each | Switches, sign-ins and renewals | | `usage.json` | The newest usage reading for each account | Reading usage, and the status line | | `usage.lock` | The lock around `usage.json` and `sessions.json` | Reading usage, and the status line | | `readings/` | One file per account, with 14 days of readings, to work out how long the account lasts | Reading usage | | `asking.json` | When pitboard last asked Anthropic or OpenAI for each account's usage, and how long to wait before asking again | Reading usage | | `sessions.json` | The usage each Claude Code session last gave `pitboard statusline`, and the account in use then. A session not seen for 7 days is dropped. | The status line | | `backups/` | Copies of Claude Code's config from before each switch rewrote it. Each is named after the time it was made, in seconds since 1 January 1970, such as `claude.json.1790000000`. The 10 newest are kept. They hold no login, but do hold your email address and the path of each project Claude Code has opened. Each keeps the mode of Claude Code's file. | A Claude Code switch | | `audit.log` | One tab-separated line per change or renewal: the time, `cli` or `app` for where it was made, the verb such as `use`, the subject and the outcome. It holds no email address, and holds an account id only in a `reclaim` line with the outcome `discarded`, whose subject is a parked login's name. [`pitboard log`](/reference/maintenance-commands#log) prints it. | Every change pitboard makes, and renewals | | `audit.log.1` | The previous `audit.log`, moved aside once it passed 256 KiB | Every change pitboard makes, and renewals | Only files in `vault/` and `signin/` can hold a login.
