# What settings does the Bridge app have?

Bridge's **Settings** screen covers your clipboard and the window:

- **Capture what I copy**, **Share my clipboard** and **Include images**.
- **Keep scraps for** — how long Junk Yard scraps last.
- **Keep connected for** — auto-disconnect timer for the Mac.
- **Use local network only** and **Find each other automatically**.
- **Show / hide hotkey** — a global shortcut such as Ctrl + Shift + S or Ctrl + Alt + B, or None.
- **Keep window on top**, **Start with Windows**, **Open to Connect on launch**.
- Appearance: **Match Windows**, **Light** or **Dark**.
