Local Settings

User settings in Novyse are divided between global preferences synchronized across all devices and local-only configurations that remain tied to a specific installation.

How Sync Works

• Synchronized: Every change generates a new event in the user_events pipe. The Sync Engine ensures these changes are applied to every device you own as soon as they come online.
• Local Only: Stored strictly in the local SQLite configuration table. These are designed for device-specific optimization (e.g., using different alert sounds on your phone vs. your laptop).
