The Amazon Q CLI keeps conversations plus SSO/Builder-ID auth and credential state together in a single local SQLite file (data.sqlite3).

Where it lives

  • macOS ~/Library/Application Support/amazon-q/data.sqlite3
  • Linux ~/.local/share/amazon-q/data.sqlite3
  • Windows ~/AppData/Local/amazon-q/data.sqlite3

What you can do

  • Keep the amazon-q data directory off cloud sync; the database holds both chats and credentials.
