About

Shows version numbers for the App, Core, Service, and CLI components (colored to reflect whether the service is currently healthy), a short description of SwiftList, and links to the project homepage and the online user guide.

Config folders

Two more links, right below those, open the folders SwiftList reads and writes its own configuration from — each shows the actual path as the clickable link text, creating the folder first if it doesn't exist yet:

• User Config Folder — the per-user folder holding user-settings.json. Every time settings are saved, the previous file is rotated into user-settings.json.bak.1 (shifting any older backups down, up to .bak.5) before the new one is written, so a bad edit or a crash mid-save always leaves a recent copy to restore from.
• System Config Folder — the shared, machine-wide folder used by the background service (machine-settings.json, index caches, and service-side logs).

Checking for updates

• Check Update button — queries for a newer release; the button's own label reflects progress ("Checking...", then either "up to date" or the new version number found).
• If a non-administrator account can't stop the background service to install an update in place, a warning banner explains this and points you to the manual download page instead.
• Once a new version is found:
  • Silent Auto-Update — downloads and installs in the background, showing a progress bar, then restarts SwiftList automatically.
  • Go to Download Page — opens the GitHub release page in your browser for a manual install.

This mirrors the Auto check for updates / Auto silent update checkboxes under General → System — those control whether this check happens automatically on startup; this page lets you trigger it manually at any time.
