Settings

On iPhone and iPad, Settings is the last tab. On a Mac it's a window of its own: Conn menu, Settings..., or ⌘,. Settings for one host are in Edit Host instead; see Edit Host.

On iPhone and iPad, the same trackpad and scrolling settings are in a screen's ⋯ menu as Screen Settings, while you control it.

Store

Data Version, Hosts File (for example "Open, syncing with iCloud"), Command History, Copies Kept (on a Mac, with Show in Finder) and Recover. Before Conn changes a hosts file that won't open, it keeps a copy here and never deletes one. Recover is offered when your hosts file didn't open, or an older copy holds hosts your list doesn't.

Command history

Shows how many commands this device remembers, with Clear History, which asks first. History stays on this device, never syncs or exports, and Conn asks for it to be left out of backups.

Mac Menu bar

Show Conn's Menu Bar Icon, on by default. The icon lists your hosts and sessions, and gets a dot while a session needs you. With it hidden, the Connect menu still opens a host.

Security

App lock: Require Face ID to Open Conn (or Touch ID, or your passcode) on iPhone and iPad, and Require Touch ID or Apple Watch to Open Conn on a Mac. Off by default. See App lock.

Compliance and legal

• Compliance: what Conn does with your data (no account, iCloud sync off until you turn it on, what syncs, passwords and keys, command history), trademarks, and the disclaimer.
