Settings on your phone

The settings sheet in Relic for Android and iPhone: device name, auto-save to Vault, secret masking, formatting, ranking, save location, appearance, and the account actions.

· Android, iPhone and iPad

Opening the sheet

Tap the gear at the top right of the Relic app and a sheet slides up from the bottom. Your account email sits at the top with a line under it that says your plan, how much space you are using, and how many items are in your Vault. Drag the sheet down, or tap outside it, to close.

A phone showing the Relic settings sheet. Groups labelled Capture, Search, Files and Appearance, each with rows that have an icon, a name, a line of help text, and a switch or a chevron at the right. The settings sheet on a phone. The switches are drawn in their default positions.

  • Device nameis the label your captures carry on your other devices, so a search result can say it came from your phone. It starts as the phone's model name.
  • Auto-save to Vault is on by default on a phone, because everything you send to Relic there is a deliberate act. Turn it off and captures go into history instead, where the free plan keeps the most recent ones.
  • Mask secrets hides anything that looks like a password, a key or a card number behind dots until you tap to reveal it.
  • Paste with formatting keeps bold, links and colours when you copy an item back out. Off, everything pastes as plain text.
  • Personalized ranking moves the items you pick most often up the list over time. It learns on the phone and nothing about it leaves. Clear learned ranking under it starts fresh.
  • Save location is where Save to device puts an image or a file: your Downloads folder, a folder you pick each time, or the photo gallery for images. On an iPhone the choices are Downloads, Files, and Photos.
  • Appearance follows the phone, or stays dark or light.

Account and device actions

Under the settings come the actions. Each opens its own screen or asks you to confirm.

  • Refresh now pulls the latest from your vault. Pulling down on the list does the same.
  • Clear all history deletes every item that is not in your Vault, on this phone and, as it syncs, on your other devices. It asks first and cannot be undone.
  • Copy account email and Manage account, which opens your account page in the browser.
  • Add a device shows the QR code and the typed code another device needs to join your vault. See Sync and devices.
  • Your devices lists every device on the account, with rename and remove.
  • Security holds your recovery kit, the passphrase change, the account email change, sign out everywhere, and delete account.
  • Set up quick capture reopens the walkthrough for the Quick Settings tile (Android) or the Shortcut (iPhone).
  • Switch account and Disconnect, which clears the saved connection on this phone. Your vault stays safe on the server.

About

The last group shows the version and links to the website, support, the privacy policy, the terms, and the open-source licences. Startup shows how long each part of launch took, which support may ask for. Copy diagnostics puts a short report on the clipboard for the same reason. Neither contains anything from your vault.
