Profiles

Profiles let you save a whole MacWatcher configuration and switch between setups — for example a relaxed Home profile and a strict Café profile that arms on power-unplug and USB.

Use profiles

• Settings → Profiles to create, rename, and switch profiles.
• Switching a profile applies its triggers, capture settings, presence, and delivery in one move. Your camera selection and capture folder aren’t clobbered by a switch.

Customize and save

When you change a profile-controlled setting (enabling a detector, toggling presence, adjusting arm-on-lock), MacWatcher shows the profile as Custom — you’ll see this in Settings → Profiles and in the popover picker.

If you’ve customized settings and want to reuse that setup:

1. Go to Settings → Profiles
2. Click Save as Profile…
3. Give it a name (and optional note)
4. Click Save

Your current settings become a new profile you can switch to anytime.

Revert to profile

If you’ve customized settings but want to go back to the original profile, click Revert to Profile in the “Customized” section. This discards your customizations and restores the profile’s settings.

Switching profiles

When you switch to a different profile, your current customizations are replaced with that profile’s settings. (Save them as a new profile first if you want to keep them.)

Suggested profiles

• Home — minimal triggers, longer intervals.
• Café / travel — power-unplugged and USB capture when armed; Bluetooth presence to auto-arm when you step away.
• Desk, unattended — screen-locked arms; wake and USB capture.
