| How proxies are checked and retired | Proxies, Settings tab |
| Email addresses and mailboxes | The gear beside Inbox |

Settings in the desktop app
Section titled “Settings in the desktop app”Click Settings at the bottom of the sidebar.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”Choose Dark or Light under Theme. It changes at once and is remembered on this computer.
Browser
Section titled “Browser”This card shows the Exora browser your profiles open in.
| Status | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Ready | The browser is installed. The card shows its version. | Click Check for updates to look for a newer one. |
| Not found | The browser isn’t installed yet. | Click Install browser. |
| Needs repair | The installed browser has a problem. | Click Install browser to repair it. |
| Unknown | The app couldn’t read the browser’s status. | Click Re-check. |
While it works, the card shows progress such as Downloading browser… 40%, then Done or Already up to date.
If you see “A browser update is ready. Close every browser profile, then retry the update.”, stop your running profiles and click Check for updates again.
Local automation API
Section titled “Local automation API”This card holds what you need to drive profiles with your own scripts:
- Endpoint is the address your script calls. Click it to copy it.
- Token is your private key. Show reveals it, Copy copies it, and Regenerate replaces it.
- Test connection checks that the API is running.
Regenerate stops every script using the old token, so the app asks you to confirm. See Connect to a running profile.
This card shows whether this computer remembers your organization’s cards passphrase.
- Saved in this Mac’s Keychain means you aren’t asked for it each time. Forget on this Mac removes the saved copy. Your cards and the passphrase don’t change, and you type it the next time you show a number.
- Not saved means you’re asked for it when you show a number.
SMS providers
Section titled “SMS providers”Connect your own SMS provider account, so you can rent numbers using your balance with that provider.
- Click TextVerified.
- Enter a Label, your API username and your API key.
- Click Validate & connect.
Each connected provider then has a row showing its status, balance and how many services are on. On that row:
- Services lets you choose which services it may use. Search the list, tick the ones you want, then click Save.
- Sync refreshes its list of services.
- Remove deletes the connection and its key.
Default SMS provider
Section titled “Default SMS provider”- Provider chooses where automatic rentals come from: ExitNode credits, or a provider you connected.
- Fallback tries your other providers if the first one fails or runs out of balance. Tick Fall back to other providers to allow it.
- Max price caps what one number can cost. Leave it blank for No limit. A typed 0 allows free numbers only.
These apply as soon as you change them.
