Sync settings between Macs

Commands, quicklinks, snippets, favourites and preferences live in one local database. Setting up a second Mac means doing all of it again, and the two drift apart.

Scope

  • Export the full configuration to a single file, and import it.
  • Optionally keep that file in a folder the person chooses, so a file syncing service can carry it between machines.
  • Merge on import rather than replace, with conflicts surfaced rather than resolved silently.
  • Clipboard history and usage records are excluded by default: they are the most sensitive data in the database and the least useful to copy.

Notes

A folder the user picks keeps this out of any hosted service and preserves the promise that the app works without an account.
