A guide to storing files in an iOS app, including user documents, app data, caches, temporary files, databases, and preferences.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choose storage locations, obtain directory URLs, and decide which files should be backed up, visible in the Files app, or removable under storage pressure.
Why use it?
It helps prevent important data from being deleted or backed up incorrectly by placing each kind of file in the appropriate system directory.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ax-file-storage scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

File Storage

Quick Patterns

Storage Location Decision

What are you storing?
├─ User-created content (photos, notes, recordings)
│   └─ Documents/ → backed up, never purged, visible in Files app
│
├─ App-generated data that CAN'T be recreated
│   └─ Application Support/ → backed up, never purged, hidden from user
│
├─ Downloaded/cached content that CAN be re-downloaded
│   └─ Caches/ → NOT backed up, purged under storage pressure
│
├─ Temporary files (in-progress operations)
│   └─ tmp/ → NOT backed up, purged aggressively on reboot
│
├─ Structured data (database)
│   └─ Application Support/ with appropriate protection level
│
└─ Small preferences/settings
    └─ UserDefaults or NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore (cloud)

Directory Quick Reference

Directory Backed Up Purged User Visible Use For
Documents/ Yes Never Yes (Files) User content
Application Support/ Yes Never No App data, databases
Caches/ No Under pressure No Re-downloadable content
tmp/ No Aggressively No Temporary operations

Getting Directory URLs

// Documents
let documentsURL = FileManager.default.urls(
    for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask
)[0]

// Application Support
let appSupportURL = FileManager.default.urls(
    for: .applicationSupportDirectory, in: .userDomainMask
)[0]
try FileManager.default.createDirectory(
    at: appSupportURL, withIntermediateDirectories: true
)

// Caches
let cachesURL = FileManager.default.urls(
    for: .cachesDirectory, in: .userDomainMask
)[0]

// Temporary
let tmpURL = FileManager.default.temporaryDirectory

File Protection Levels

Level Accessible When Use For
.complete Device unlocked only Sensitive user data
.completeUnlessOpen After first open until lock Files opened before lock
.completeUntilFirstUserAuthentication After first unlock Most app data, background tasks
.none Always (even before unlock) System resources, non-sensitive

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
