Where is all the my servers and sites information/ metadata saved?

Cleaver doesn't save any of your information in the cloud. This means you own the information about your servers and sites and nobody else. They are saved on your local machine in a single file - cleaver.db. The location depends on the type of Operating System you are using:

On OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/cleaver/

On Windows: %APPDATA%/cleaver

On Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cleaver or ~/.config/cleaver
