Settings

Storage Studio's settings window has twelve pages in a sidebar — Interface, Services, Quiet Hours, Rules, Notifications, License, Junk Yard, Shortcuts, Permissions, Connections, Advanced and Consent & Legal. Open it with Settings… or ⌘, and changes apply straight away.

Settings → Services shows the live state of every background service behind Storage Studio, one row each, with a green, yellow or red dot, a plain-English status and, where it helps, a button to fix it. It refreshes every 5 seconds while open.

Settings → Shortcuts lists Storage Studio's five global shortcuts — one for the Apps grid and four for the Junk Yard. Each can be switched off or set to a different combination from a menu, and a combination can only be used by one action at a time.

Settings → Interface chooses what the menu bar icon opens — the calm Intelligence window or the Advanced popover — whether Tuhi uses Apple Intelligence when your Mac has it, and whether Storage Studio also shows a Dock icon.

Quiet Hours decides when Storage Studio's automatic nightly run of your rules may start. Choose Scheduled (a fixed daily window plus an idle check), Smart (waits while you're busy, on low battery or in a meeting) or Always on. Anything you start yourself runs straight away.

Turn on "Launch Storage Studio at login" in Settings → Advanced so the app opens by itself after every restart. Storage Studio's automatic work — scheduled moves, backups, the Junk Yard and shortcuts — only happens while the app is running.

If support needs to see what's going wrong, you can turn on "Share diagnostic logs with Storage Studio support" in Settings → Notifications. It's off by default, asks for your explicit agreement, removes email addresses and secrets, switches itself off after 24 hours, and you can delete what was sent.

You accept the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer when you first open Storage Studio. Settings → Consent & Legal shows your acceptance record, lets you reread or save each document, and lets you withdraw consent, which stops all background activity.

Share Your Experience is an optional feedback form for bugs, suggestions, questions and praise. You verify your email with a one-time code, choose a type and the feature it's about, write your message, and it goes to the Storage Studio team with a reference ID.

Once a day Storage Studio copies its own settings, its records of what it moved where, and your transfer history to your external drive, keeping the seven most recent copies. You can back up now or restore an earlier copy from Settings → Advanced → Self-backup.
