Tools & settings

Settings reference

Every section of Settings, what it changes and when it applies.


⌘, opens Settings. Every control says when it applies — live, next session, next worktree — so you're never left wondering whether a change took. There is a search box at the top.

SectionWhat lives there
GeneralLaunch at login, Open in… editor, check for updates, and About / license (Deactivate this machine lives here).

Project settings

Each project has its own inspector (from the project's … menu): the registered repository, base branch, env files, port range, rules that apply only here, and Delete project — which removes Synergoi's records and managed worktrees and never touches your folder.

Where settings live

Settings, transcripts, Context Packs, rules and the license record live in the app's data folder — ~/Library/Application Support/Synergoi on a Mac, %APPDATA%\Synergoi on Windows. Nothing is written into your repositories. See Privacy & where data lives.
