What follows you to another Mac
Some settings belong to your account and sync to every Mac you sign in to. The rest belong to this Mac, so each Mac can look and behave its own way.
| Syncs with your account | Stays on this Mac |
|---|---|
| Notification sound, alarm sound and Play for | Both keyboard shortcuts |
| Remind me before events | Typeface, theme, background, blur and dim |
| Auto-clean timing | Launch at login and Show in the Dock |
| Group All time by tags | Everything on the Focus tab |
| Tags, and which calendars are shown | Pane widths |
Time zone and week start
Diurnal follows your Mac. To change your time zone or the first day of your week, change them in macOS System Settings; Diurnal has no setting of its own for either.
