Settings
Settings apply to this device. A subset of preferences (theme, layout, sort, groups, and similar) syncs with your account when cloud sync is on; anything about how this machine behaves stays local.
General
Section titled “General”- Close to system tray: closing the window minimizes the app instead of quitting.
- Run on startup: launch when you sign in to Windows.
- Start minimized: start hidden in the tray.
- Show splash screen on startup.
- Show sync badges on cards: the cloud icon that marks whether an entry has reached the server. Turning it off changes nothing about what syncs.
Notifications
Section titled “Notifications”- Desktop notifications: Windows notifications while the app is in the background.
- In-app popup: the small toast at the bottom right, with separate switches for copy and paste operations.
Sounds
Section titled “Sounds”Short cues for shared items arriving, join requests, a space opening up, and refused actions, with a play button to preview each. Copy and paste sounds exist too but ship off, because they fire constantly. Sounds are synthesized in the app; no audio files are involved.
Quick paste
Section titled “Quick paste”- Paste slots: how many numbered rows the paste popup shows, 3 to 10 (default 3).
History
Section titled “History”- Keep history across app restarts: off by default. Until enabled, unpinned history is memory-only.
- Auto-save copied entries: automatically add every capture to the Saved group.
- Open data folder: opens the folder holding your history, pinned entries, notes and settings.
Updates
Section titled “Updates”- Your current version, with Check now, Download, and Restart and install, plus the release notes inline.
- Check for updates automatically: looks shortly after start and periodically after. Updates are never installed without asking.
- Get beta versions: receive new features early alongside every normal release. Turning it off stops future betas; it cannot move you back to an older version.
The app follows your OS light/dark setting until you pick a theme by hand; after that, your choice wins.
Account and sync
Section titled “Account and sync”Sign-in, sync mode, devices, storage and the recovery code live on the Account screen rather than in Settings. See Cloud sync.
