Settings (scrcpy, folders, language)

By the end of this page you will know where every AppsMobs setting lives and which one to touch first. ⏱ 10 minutes

The five tabs

Click Settings at the bottom of the sidebar. Five tabs sit at the top of the page.

Change the language and basic options

1. 1

   Open General Settings

   Click Settings, General Settings tab (mark 1).

2. 2

   Pick the language

   Under Language (mark 6), choose French or English. The interface changes right away.

3. 3

   Set the behaviour

   Each option is a switch:

   • Enable automation (mark 7, on by default): shows the Automation page in the sidebar. Turned off, the page disappears.
   • Auto-refresh devices: looks for new devices every 10 seconds.
   • Notifications: warns you when a script starts, stops or crashes.
   • Sound alerts: plays a sound on errors and alerts.
   • Dark theme: also reachable with the sun / moon button at the top of the screen.
4. 4

   Change keyboard shortcuts if needed

   Open shortcuts (mark 8) shows the shortcut list, which you can edit (for example F5 to run, F8 to stop everything, F9 for a capture).

Tune the live-screen quality (scrcpy)

The live screen on the Control page goes through scrcpy, bundled with the app: nothing to install. If the picture stutters or your PC heats up, lower the quality; if you want more sharpness, raise it.

1. 1

   Open Scrcpy Settings

   Click the Scrcpy Settings tab (mark 2 of the previous capture).

2. 2

   Choose who the settings apply to

   Under Device to configure (mark 1), keep Global (all devices) to set everyone at once, or pick one device to give it its own settings. To make a device follow the shared settings again, use Use global settings.

3. 3

   Pick a preset

   Three buttons (mark 2) give a starting point:

   Preset	Frames per second	Bitrate	Max resolution
   Eco	30	2 Mb/s	720 px
   Balanced	60	4 Mb/s	1080 px
   Max	60	16 Mb/s	phone's native size

4. 4

   Fine-tune with the sliders if needed

   Max FPS (mark 3, 5 to 60) sets smoothness. Bitrate (Mbps) (mark 4, 1 to 20) sets sharpness: higher = sharper but heavier. Max resolution (mark 5, 0 to 1920) caps the image size; at far left it is the phone's native resolution.

   You are done when the matching preset is highlighted and the live screen, reopened, has a different quality. If nothing changes, close and reopen the live screen.

Pick your folders

In Advanced Settings:

• Scripts folder: where your scripts are stored. Default: Documents\AppsMobs\Scripts. This is the folder the Automation page and the Dashboard read.
• Screenshots folder: where captures are saved (default Documents\AppsMobs\Screenshots).
• The folder button next to each path lets you pick another one.

Vision AI projects live in Documents\AppsMobs\VisionProjects.

Python and external tools

Still in Advanced Settings:

• Custom Python Path: by default AppsMobs uses its embedded Python, which is restricted. If a script needs outside modules (for example pandas), point this to your own python.exe. Leave it empty to keep AppsMobs' own.
• External tools (Add a tool button): give your scripts access to a program such as Tesseract OCR, Java or FFmpeg. Pick the tool's folder: the environment-variable name is detected by itself. A dot tells you "Ready: passed to your scripts" or what is missing ("Variable missing", "Invalid path").

Run logs

Logs tab: Save the log of every run keeps the full output of each script on your PC, one file per run. You set the Number of logs kept (older ones are deleted) and the Maximum size of a log. Open folder opens it, Delete all (a second click confirms) wipes them. Logs of running scripts are kept. Details in Console and logs.

License and updates

1. 1

   Activate your license if needed

   License tab: click Activate (mark 1), enter your email and license key, then confirm. You are done when "License activated!" appears.

   12

2. 2

   Re-check a license

   Verify License (mark 2 of the previous screenshot) queries the server and refreshes the status. Details and error messages: License, plans and account.

3. 3

   Update the app

   At the bottom of Advanced Settings, the Version line shows the installed version. Check looks for an update, Download fetches it, Install and restart applies it. AppsMobs also checks by itself about 3 seconds after startup and asks before downloading.
