Repeat your actions with the Synchronizer

The Synchronizer repeats what you do in one profile in other open profiles. You act in one browser, called the Leader, and the others, called Followers, do the same. This guide walks through setting up a session, keeping it in step and using its tools.

Before you start

The Synchronizer runs on a Mac.
The Synchronizer tab appears for owners and admins, when your build of the app includes it.
It needs a paid plan, and your plan limits how many profiles can join one session.

Password and card fields are never repeated, and pressing paste in the Leader isn’t either. See Send text below for how to paste.

Set up a session

Start at least two profiles. See Launch, stop and monitor profiles.
Go to Browser Profiles, then the Synchronizer tab. The Running table lists your open profiles.

You can also tick profiles on the Profiles tab and click Synchronize in the bottom bar. It starts any that aren’t running, and the first one becomes the Leader.
Click Promote to Leader on the profile you’ll work in.
Tick the profiles that should follow. The header checkbox ticks them all.
Choose a quality in the dropdown: Precise, Balanced or Scale. If the setup is more than this computer runs well in that mode, a note says so.
Click Start.
In Start synchronizing?, check the names and click Start.

Now click and type in the Leader. The Followers repeat it.

Some modes don’t repeat pointer movement. The toolbar then shows Movement off. Clicks, keys and scrolling are still repeated.

If Start is greyed out, the note beside it says what’s missing.

Read the table

Column	What it shows
Profile	The profile’s name. Click it for details.
Role	Leader or Follower.
Page	The page it’s on.
State	How it’s doing. See below.
Lag	How far behind the Leader it is.
Queue	How many actions are waiting.

The toolbar counts how many are synced, and how many need a look.

State

State	What it means	What to do
Ready	Waiting to start.
Launching or Connecting	Getting ready.	Wait.
Leading	This is the Leader.
Synced	It’s keeping up.
Typing	It’s typing text you sent.	Wait.
Lagging	It’s behind, and actions are still arriving.	Wait, or click Resync.
Reconnecting	It lost contact and is trying again.	Wait.
Degraded	It’s having trouble keeping up.	Use fewer Followers.
Desynced	It missed actions.	Bring its page in line, then click Resync.
Needs attention	It needs you, such as a dialog open on its page.	See the row’s details.
Disconnected	It couldn’t be reached.	It’s removed from the session.

A row that can’t join shows why: Needs restart, Starting… or Stopping…. Restart closes and reopens that profile’s windows, and its tabs come back.

Click a profile’s name to see its State, Lag and Queued actions, and the reason for any problem.

Bring a Follower back in step

When a page doesn’t match the Leader, its actions stop lining up.

Bring that Follower’s page in line by hand.
Click Resync on its row.

If several are out of step, click Resync N Desynced in the toolbar.

Pause, change and stop

Button	What it does
Pause	Nothing you do in the Leader reaches the Followers.
Resume	Starts repeating again, and applies your changes.
Stop	Ends the session. Profiles stay open.

While paused, you can:

Tick or untick profiles.
Click Make Leader on a Follower, or Remove on the Leader.

A banner lists what will change when you click Resume.

During a session, the x on a row removes that profile from the session.

If this computer falls behind, the session pauses by itself and says so. Nothing is sent while it’s paused. Click Resume to go on, or Pause to change profiles.

The console

The Console beside the table has three tools. They work once a session is running. While paused, only Windows works.

Turn on Pop out to move it into its own window, on top of your browsers. Show the window brings it back to the front.

Windows

Control	What it does
Show all windows	Brings the Leader and every Follower to the front.
Arrangement	Grid, or Leader size, cascaded.
Spacing (points)	The gap between windows.
Displays	Which screens to use.
Arrange windows	Applies it. A line above says what you’ll get.

A note warns you if a grid would make windows smaller than the Leader, which can change how pages lay out. Leader size, cascaded keeps the Leader’s size.

Send text

Type text into each Follower’s focused field.

Under Send, choose a mode:

Mode	What each Follower gets
Same text	The same text.
One line per Follower	One line each, in the session’s order. You can also paste `name`, a tab, then the text, to match by profile name.
Shuffled lines	A different line each, at random.
Random line	A random line. Lines can repeat.
Random number	A random whole number in the Range.

Enter your Text, or your Range.
Set Delay between characters (ms) if you want a gap between keystrokes.
Click Preview. A table shows what each Follower receives.
Click Send.

Paste into every Follower puts text straight into each Follower’s focused field. Type it, then click Paste.

Tabs

Control	What it does
Open in every profile	Opens up to 10 addresses in new tabs, in the Leader and every Follower. One address per line. Click Open.
Replace the page	Every Follower loads this address in its current tab. Click Go.
Copy Leader tabs	Replaces every Follower’s tabs with the Leader’s. Pages open there now are reloaded or closed. The app asks first.
Close current tab	In the Leader and every Follower.
Close other tabs	In the Leader and every Follower. A browser’s last tab is cleared, not closed.

A line above the table reports each operation, such as how many are done, failed or skipped.

Hotkeys

Click Hotkeys… to set keyboard shortcuts. They work while any app is in front, and they’re off until you set one. Start has no hotkey, on purpose.

You can set:

Stop the session
Restart the session
Show the controller
Show Follower windows
Pause or resume the session

Click a field and press a combination. The x clears it. Click Save.

Messages during a session

“Paste is not mirrored. Use Paste in the controller to send text to every Follower.” You pressed paste in the Leader. Use Paste into every Follower.

“Typing in a password or card field is not mirrored.” Type in those fields on each profile yourself.

If something goes wrong

“Open at least 2 profiles to start Synchronizer.” Start more profiles. Go to Profiles takes you there.

“Promote a profile to Leader to start.” Click Promote to Leader on a row.

“Tick the profiles that should follow the Leader.” Tick at least one Follower.

“Some ticked profiles are not ready. Wait for them, or untick them.” A profile is still starting or stopping.

“Your role cannot synchronize profiles in this organization.” Ask an owner or admin.

“That is more profiles than your plan allows in one session.” Use fewer, or see Billing and plans.

“This Mac cannot run that many profiles smoothly. Use fewer Followers.” Untick some profiles, or try another quality.

“Restart these profiles so the Synchronizer can connect to them.” Click Restart on those rows.

“A profile closed. Open it again or untick it.” Start it again, or untick it.

“A session is already running.” Stop it first. To change profiles, Pause instead.

“The Follower has no matching element for the last click or field. Bring its page in line, then Resync.” Its page doesn’t match the Leader’s. Fix it, then click Resync.

“A page dialog is open in this Follower. Answer it on the Leader, or close it in the Follower.” A dialog is waiting on that page.
