What stays on your computer

Label Station keeps everything on your computer. There is no account, no sign-in, no tracking, no analytics, no crash reports and no advertising. Mood Swings Design never receives your show, your buyers’ names or anything else from the program, and has no way to.

The extension passes sales to the app on the same computer. Nothing goes onto the internet.

Where your files live

The app keeps its files in one folder.

System	Folder
Windows	%LOCALAPPDATA%\Label Station\ (usually C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Label Station\)
Mac	~/Library/Application Support/Label Station/

To open it on Windows, press Windows + R, paste %LOCALAPPDATA%\Label Station and press Enter. On a Mac, in the Finder, choose Go, then Go to Folder (or press Shift + Cmd + G), paste the Mac path and press Return.

What is in it

What	File	Used for
Each show’s list of sales (item, buyer handle, price, order id, time, box number, paid or not)	shows/<show id>.json	Reprints, the unpaid list, the Summary
Each show’s log of what the app heard and decided	shows/<show id>.ndjson	Working out afterwards what happened in a show
Your settings	station-config.json	So the app remembers your setup
Your tab layout	app-layout.json	Edit layout
The Printed list for inventory labels	inventory-log.json	The Printed list and each structure’s next number
Your acceptance of the privacy policy and terms	accepted-terms.json	So the app asks only once
The app’s log	Windows: logs\station.log in the folder above. Mac: ~/Library/Logs/Label Station/station.log	Finding out why something did not print

Held sales and the panel’s address setting live in Chrome’s extension storage on your computer. Removing the extension removes them. CSV files you export live wherever you saved them.

What is in your customers’ data

The list of sales, the show logs and the app log hold your buyers’ handles, the items and the prices. Treat the folder like an order spreadsheet. The app does not encrypt it. It relies on your computer’s own user account protection and your disk encryption, if you use it. It is backed up only if you back up that folder.

Deleting

• Delete a file to remove only that part. The app starts with defaults and carries on.
• Delete the whole Label Station folder to remove everything. Close the app first.
• The app never deletes your records on its own.
• Uninstalling the app leaves the folder in place on purpose, so a reinstall finds your shows. See Updates and uninstalling.

If something looks different

• You cannot find the folder on Windows. AppData is hidden in File Explorer. Use the Windows + R method above.
• You find an extra Cache or Local Storage folder. Those are the app window’s ordinary working files. Delete them only when the app is closed.

Where to next

• What the extension reads, and what it never does
• Updates and uninstalling
• The log file and sending feedback
