Settings

Open Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.

  • Theme: System, Light or Dark. System follows the operating system.
  • Refresh views every: 2, 5, 10 or 30 seconds, or Manual. The Queries view refreshes at most every 10 seconds.
  • On launch, open: the Dashboard or the last connection you used.
  • Connect automatically: None, All except production, or All. Production servers are only connected when you open them, unless you choose All.

Recern adds an icon to the macOS menu bar, or the system tray on Windows and Linux, with every connection, so you can open one without switching windows first.
