Settings & Sync
Configure Pixel Triggers to work the way you want. Manage hotkeys, cloud sync, and data import/export.
Cloud Sync
When you're signed in, your patterns, triggers, and sessions automatically sync to the cloud. This means:
- ✓Access your automation from any computer
- ✓Your data is backed up securely
- ✓Changes sync automatically in the background
Manual Sync
You can force a sync by clicking the "Sync Now" button in Settings. This is useful if you want to ensure your latest changes are uploaded before switching computers.
Offline Mode: Pixel Triggers works offline. Changes are saved locally and synced when you reconnect to the internet.
Import/Export Data
You can export your data as a JSON file for backup or sharing, and import data from a previous export.
Export
Go to Settings → Click "Export Data" → Save the JSON file. This includes all patterns, triggers, and sessions.
Import
Go to Settings → Click "Import Data" → Select a JSON file. Imported data merges with your existing data.
Note: Importing data will overwrite items with the same name. Consider backing up your current data before importing.
Hotkeys
Pixel Triggers uses global hotkeys that work even when the app is in the background:
Stop Hotkey
Stops all running automation immediately
Add Point Hotkey
Captures current mouse position when polling
Changing Hotkeys
Go to Settings to customize your hotkeys. Click on the hotkey field and press the key you want to assign.
Hardware Input Mode
Pixel Triggers offers two input methods:
Software Input (Default)
Uses standard Windows APIs to simulate clicks and keypresses. Works with most applications. This is the default and recommended mode.
Hardware Input Mode
Uses lower-level input simulation that may work with some applications that ignore software input. Enable this in Settings if automation doesn't work with the default mode.
When to use Hardware Mode: Try hardware mode if clicks aren't registering in a specific application. Some games and applications filter software-generated input.
