Auto launch the app to a blank page:

if toggled on, this will launch the app to the editor conveniently opened on a new blank page, instead of launching the app to the list of created pages.

Select the app theme:

here you can choose between a few different app-themes, principally light and dark mode.

Export pages:

this will create a zip file containing all of your page's data. You can export this zip file through any medium available to your device, as a means of backup or page-sharing.

You can also export any number of pages by selecting them from the list of pages.

Import pages:

lets you pick a zip file containing data from previously exported pages. The pages will be imported to your current list. In case of two pages that were created at the exact same millisec of time, the imported ones may overwrite the old ones. If you don't see the pages you imported immediately, please restart the app.

You can also import a batch of pages by clicking on any pertinent zip file from outside the app.
