## Settings {#settings}

Settings are stored in `app_config.yml`; see
[Configuration file](/docs/reference/configuration/).

| Section | Setting | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| General | Open at login | Off |
| | Show window at launch | On; when off, Capslock starts quietly in the menu bar |
| | Hide Dock icon | Off |
| | Language | Follow System (English or Simplified Chinese) |
| | Appearance | System, Light or Dark |
| Hyper | [Hyper mode](/docs/guide/hyper-mode/#modes) | Classic |
| | Double-tap speed | 200 ms |
| | [Hold to reveal](/docs/start/learn/#hold-to-reveal) | On, 550 ms delay, hides when an action runs |
| | [Show actions on screen](/docs/start/learn/#hud) | Off, 1.35 s |
| Profile behavior | [Unmapped Caps chords](/docs/guide/hyper-mode/#unmapped) | Send the normal key |
| | [Modifier sides](/docs/guide/hyper-mode/#sides) | Automatic |
| Input sources | [Fix for CJK input sources](/docs/guide/actions/#input-sources) | None |
| Advanced | [Key remaps](/docs/guide/hyper-mode/#key-remaps) | None |
| | Show counts on mappings | On |

The **Status**, **Permissions** and **Recovery** sections repeat the controls
from Home and Diagnostics: Pause and Resume, the permission rows, Release All,
Restore Caps Lock, and Show Config Folder.

**Reset Settings…** at the bottom puts every setting back to its default.
Your mappings, actions and app rules stay as they are.

## Menu bar {#menu-bar}

The menu-bar icon is always present: a filled ⇪ while Capslock is running, an
outline while it is paused, and a warning triangle when something needs
attention. Its menu contains:

- the current status;
- **Pause** or **Resume**;
- **Check for Updates**, in release builds;
- **Capslock Website**;
- **Open Capslock**;
- **Quit Capslock** (⌘Q).

Closing the main window, or pressing ⌘W, hides it; Capslock keeps running.

## Statistics {#statistics}

The Statistics page shows how often you use each trigger, for today, the last
7 days, the last 30 days, or all time, with a **Most used** ranking.

- Each physical press counts once. A key held down and repeating still counts
  once.
- Counts belong to the trigger, so rebinding a key keeps its history.
- Daily counts are kept for 30 days; older days are folded into all-time
  totals.
- Only counts are stored, on this Mac. What you type is never recorded.

**Reset Statistics** clears every count and cannot be undone. Settings ›
Advanced › **Show counts on mappings** shows or hides the counts next to
mappings.
