Settings

The settings surface holds your preferences for the desktop app. This page covers the durable ones.

UI preferences

The app remembers a number of UI preferences, such as panel layout and view state, so that reopening a project feels the same as leaving it. These are persisted per user.

Telemetry and opting out

CrossXCloud collects product analytics through PostHog. There are two paths for events:

• The frontend records UI events such as clicks and page views.
• The Go backend records events that the frontend cannot observe, such as credential save and compute provisioning.

Both paths are gated by a single opt-out toggle on the Settings page. Turning telemetry off stops both paths. The toggle is persisted per user.

The analytics identifier used by the backend is an anonymous per-install ID, not your logged-in account. Analytics never breaks a happy path: if anything goes wrong capturing an event, it is logged silently and your action still completes.

To opt out, open Settings and turn telemetry off.

Where the toggle is stored

The telemetry preference is stored with your user preferences and applied on app start, so opting out takes effect on the next launch and persists across sessions.
