| `defaults read io.github.mpdreamz.yabar`                     | Every setting, the profiles, labels, scratchpads, and how often launcher rows are picked. |
| `~/Library/Application Support/Yabar/yabar.lock`             | Held while Yabar runs, so only one does.                                                  |
| `~/Library/Caches/io.github.mpdreamz.yabar/stack-focus.json` | The window last focused in each stack, for `yabar focus`.                                 |
| `/tmp/yabar_$USER.socket`                                    | Where yabai's signals and `yabar launcher` reach Yabar.                                   |
