Step by step

  1. Export a backup first

    Backup & restore saves one file with your hosts, jumps, forwards, snippets, the whole keyboard, saved layouts, themes, quick paths and known hosts. Passwords and private keys are never in it.

    Where: SettingsBackup & importBackup & restore

  2. Choose an app theme

    Ten themes in five families — ink, moss, tide, dusk and night — each in dark and light. All free.

    Where: SettingsAppearanceThemes & fonts

  3. Pick a terminal palette and font

    The terminal has its own palette, separate from the app theme, so you can mix freely: 10 Mochitao nature palettes free, 27 community palettes with Friends. Maple Mono NF is the default font, and Vietnamese accents line up in it.

    Where: SettingsAppearanceThemes & fonts

  4. Tune the tab bar

    The floating capsule is the default: drag it anywhere, set its size from 50% to 300% and its transparency, or fold it to a dot. Prefer a fixed row of tabs? Switch to the top chip strip (Friends).

    Where: SettingsAppearanceTab bar

Good to know

  • Export the palette you use as a JSON starting point; importing your own palette is part of Mochitao Friends.
  • Importing a backup file is part of Mochitao Friends; exporting is always free.
  • The app language switches between English and Vietnamese instantly, under Settings › Appearance › Language.

The floating capsule: Android only today.

Screens from the app. The studio, its game and every host in them are made up.
