Settings, channels, and keyboard shortcuts
Channels separate publishing identities. Settings controls the local workspace and workflow; shortcuts keep the most common production moves one keystroke away.
Manage channels
Use the channel selector or the adjacent gear in the sidebar. A channel can represent YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Podcast, or another publishing identity. These platform choices are labels and icons—not connected accounts.
- Add a channel. Choose a name, platform, optional handle, and safe workspace folder name.
- Use Channel. The selection changes visible strategy, planning, episodes, media, series, templates, and assets together.
- Edit carefully. A channel workspace rename physically moves the channel folder beneath configured roots and updates stored paths.
- Remove or restore. A channel with referenced history is deactivated rather than destroying that history. Existing files are preserved.
Use the Settings tabs
Workspace
Primary and Archive storage, live volume state, local catalogue, and channel management.
Workflow
Choose whether Finder reveals a newly created episode folder and whether the app opens the episode.
About
Product identity, version, local-first promise, and always-on safety protections.
Use Reveal beside the local metadata catalogue when you need to include it in a backup or diagnose a save problem. Interface text scale is adjusted directly in the sidebar from 85% to 150%.

Search behaviour
- Planning searches ideas, campaigns, tasks, and episodes.
- Episodes searches title, description, tags, and series.
- Media Library searches filenames, notes, and stored keywords.
- Assets searches name, notes, licence text, and tags.
- Search is hidden on Today and while a single episode is focused.
- Series & Templates currently shows the field but is browsed directly; its cards are not filtered by that text.
Clear a search before changing sections when results look unexpectedly narrow; the field can retain its text across navigation.
