Tray menu

What the HTML Clay system tray menu holds, from Open Example File and Backups to Trusted Folders, Start on Login, and Quit.

The app has no main window. Everything you can do away from a document lives in the system tray menu.

The system tray#

The tray menu holds: an update row that appears when a new version is available, Open Example File, Backups, a Trusted Folders submenu (a “Trust a Folder…” row plus one row per trusted folder, clicking a row stops trusting it), a Start on Login checkbox, and Quit. Start on Login is a LaunchAgent on macOS, an autostart desktop entry on Linux, and a registry key on Windows.

Update checks#

HTML Clay checks for a new version once at startup, against https://download.htmlclay.com/htmlclay-release-info.json. It sends no file contents, and nothing else leaves your machine.
