Another easy way –in bash terminal–:

  1. Go to ~ cd /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices.
  2. Look for ~ find . -name "default.realm" –it will return the Realm db path–.

./198DD3D6-D8C7-4520-A5A2-E65865705A08/data/Containers/Data/Application/48670837-21DB-4F7C-899D-DE809478A56E/Documents/default.realm

  1. Open previous path ~ open my/path/.

If you have Realm Studio already installed it will open automatically.

This has changed a bit:

As of March 2024 this goes as follow.

First, download Realm Studio: https://studio-releases.realm.io/

Then find out where the file resides (as seen in previous answer):

https://www.mongodb.com/docs/realm/studio/open-realm-file/

With JS:

// Open a realm.
const realm = await Realm.open({
  schema: [Car],
});
// Get on-disk location of the Realm
const realmFileLocation = realm.path;
console.log(`Realm file is located at: ${realm.path}`);

or

  console.log("Realm DB location",realmInstance.getInstance().path);

Then you'll find the path. Mine was somewhere like:

/Users/xxx/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/82281-EEAF-DILLIGAF-A4F/data/Containers/Data/Application/362F03BF-L338-AA18-A677-3CB0A52C9A10/Documents/default.realm

Then open the Realm Studio and open that file.

With the iOS emulator you can just find the path and open the Realm directly (which allows you to see the changes as they happen, great for debugging), on Android you will have to copy the file out to the regular file system.

It is all described in the docs for Realm Studio: https://docs.realm.io/platform/realm-studio/view-your-data#viewing-realms-from-emulators

While searching through the web, got the answer in docs:

console.log('realm db file path:', realm.path);
