Data Directory

All runtime data is stored in a fixed home directory (~/.daily-digest/), independent of your current working directory:

~/.daily-digest/
  venv/                   # Python virtual environment (yt-dlp, faster-whisper, etc.)
  config/
    sources.yaml          # RSS feeds & YouTube channels
    settings.yaml         # Language preference
    state.json            # Processed item tracking (dedup)
    telegram.yaml         # Telegram bot credentials (optional)
  workspace/
    fetched/              # Downloaded episodes & video metadata
    transcripts/          # Transcribed text
    summaries/            # Daily digest output (YYYY-MM-DD.md / .json)

The directory is created automatically on first run — no manual setup needed.
