Reference for language, theme, startup, safety settings, storage paths, backup and reset.

Public release: Mouzi v0.1.5. Features planned for a later version are labelled on the page.

Mouzi stores configuration and history locally in one SQLite database. There is no account or cloud synchronization.

General settings

Setting	Behavior
Language	Choose English, Polish, Italian, German, French, Russian, Japanese, Vietnamese, Spanish or Ukrainian
Theme	Follow the system, use light or use dark
Start with system	Launch Mouzi after the current user signs in; enabled on first run
Grace period	Delay Silent-mode processing from 0 seconds to 7 days; default 5 minutes
Check whether files are in use	Leave locked files in place; enabled by default

Changing the grace period affects newly queued work. Clean now and scheduled cleans bypass the delay.

Local database

The mouzi.db file contains:

application settings
watched folders and their modes
the global rule list
movement history and statistics

Windows:

%APPDATA%\mouzi\mouzi\data\mouzi.db

Linux:

$XDG_DATA_HOME/mouzi/mouzi.db

The usual Linux default is ~/.local/share/mouzi/mouzi.db.

Back up or move settings

Quit Mouzi from the tray so the database is closed.
Copy mouzi.db to a private backup location.
Restore it only while Mouzi is closed.

The database contains full local paths and file names from History. Do not attach it to a public issue unless you have inspected and sanitized it.

Reset the application

Quit Mouzi and remove or rename mouzi.db. The next launch creates fresh defaults, including the Downloads folder, starter rules and enabled autostart.

Resetting the database does not delete organized files and does not undo earlier moves.

Updates

Mouzi does not download or install updates automatically. The About screen shows the installed version and release date. Check for updates opens mouzi.cc, where you can compare the current public version and download it manually.
