You can configure the way jrnl behaves in a configuration file. By default, this is ``~/.jrnl_config``. If you have the ``XDG_CONFIG_HOME`` variable set, the configuration file will be saved under ``$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/jrnl``.
The default path can be overridden with the ``JRNLRC`` environment variable. This can be useful if you want to keep project specific configurations and automatically switch to them using e.g. ``direnv``.
.. note::
On Windows, The configuration file is typically found at ``C:\Users\[Your Username]\.jrnl_config``.
