For Linux and MacOS good practice to use ~/.my_app_settings directories. But on MacOS you will need additional permissions.
Another way is to store settings in Application Content folder on MacOS.

10/29/2023, 2:23 PMok, I understand. With Compose I'm often not sure whether it has something already on board or it's an entirely different thing. I guess I then should probably look for something generic related to Java

10/29/2023, 3:19 PMCompose is only focused on the UI, and it doesn't have an opinion on things like settings, DBs, app architecture/folder structure, etc.
Multiplatform Settings has a JVM storage option, which wraps the standard Java Preferences https://github.com/russhwolf/multiplatform-settings#platform-constructors
