Settings

Settings

Open Settings from the left pane footer. Changes apply (and persist) as you make them. Settings are stored separately from your Snips — see Data Storage and Backups.

Appearance & behaviour

Setting	Options / range	Default	Notes
Theme	System / Light / Dark	System	Applies immediately. System follows your Windows preference; Mica follows the theme.
Close behaviour	Hide to tray / Exit on close	Hide to tray	Hide-to-tray keeps the process (and the global hotkey) live; Exit closes it. See Global Hotkey and System Tray.
Global hotkey	Any chord with a modifier	Ctrl+Alt+S	Click, then press a shortcut (needs Ctrl, Alt or Shift). Reset restores the default. If the chord is already taken by another app you're told, and the previous binding is kept.
Storage location	A folder	%LOCALAPPDATA%\Snipdeck\store	Where your Snips live. Changing it restarts Snipdeck. See Data Storage and Backups.
Backups to keep	1–200	20	Older backups beyond this count are pruned after each save.
Run history to keep (per snip)	1–1000	50	Older runs per Snip are pruned after each run. See Run History.
Maximum captured output (MB)	1–100	5	A run's captured output is truncated beyond this size.

About

• Updates — Check for updates queries the GitHub releases feed and reports whether you're current. When an update is available, Apply & restart downloads it and relaunches. See Installation and Updates.
• Snipdeck (expander) — the current version and copyright, a copyable git clone command, and a link to file a bug or request a feature.
• Acknowledgements (expander) — the open-source projects Snipdeck is built on, each with its licence and a link to the project. (See also Architecture.)

Where settings are stored

App configuration lives in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Snipdeck\settings.json, separate from your Snip store (the store's own location can't live inside the store). It holds the theme, hotkey, close behaviour, storage and backup paths, and the backup / history / output limits above.
