Root data folder

- The current directory path is displayed on the main folder button:
- Click the path button to open this folder in your system’s file explorer.
- To change the storage directory:
- Click Change.
- Select a new folder on your drive.
- The application will automatically prompt you to restart to apply the change.
Changing this folder is useful if your primary OS drive has limited space and you want to move large AI model binaries or web extensions to a secondary drive (e.g. an
SSD).

30minutes, with a minimum of2minutes. - Adjust this using the increment or decrement arrows under Card Update Interval in settings.
