General Preferences

Start at Login​

Preferences → Tracking Configurations → Start at Login makes Kshan launch automatically when you log into your computer, so tracking begins without opening the app manually.

  • Requires macOS 13 or later — on older macOS, the toggle shows an error toast: "Start at Login requires macOS 13 or later."
  • If you add or remove Kshan from System Settings → General → Login Items directly, Kshan reconciles the toggle's state the next time it checks.
  • Also supported on Windows and Linux.

Language​

Kshan's interface is available in 10 languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified). Change it any time from Preferences → Language — or set it once up front on the sign-in screen or during the setup wizard. If a translation is missing for your language, Kshan falls back to English for that text.

See System Tray for choosing what your tray icon's label shows.
