WonderPen Help

Settings

WonderPen provides a wealth of option settings, most of which adopt the "nearby principle", that is, set them near where they are used, such as settings related to word count, etc. However, there are also some setting items that do not have a suitable nearby location, so WonderPen also provides a dedicated Settings panel.

You can open the Settings panel in the "More" menu in the upper right corner of the top bar of the WonderPen main window, as shown below:

General settings

The general settings panel is similar to the picture below:

The main options include:

  • language
    Currently supported languages are: Simplified Chinese, English

  • Automatically open the last edited document library on startup
    By default, when WonderPen starts, it will open the document library selection interface. If you select this option, it will automatically open the last edited document library when it starts.
    If you don't need to frequently switch between multiple document libraries, you can select this option to save some time.

  • Confirm before exiting the program
    Do you need to pop up a confirmation dialog box before exiting the program to prevent accidental closing of the program due to misoperation?
    Since WonderPen will automatically save the document content after it changes, even if this option is not selected, there is generally no need to worry about data loss due to unexpected exit of the program.

  • Show outline view toggle button in top bar
    Whether to display the outline view toggle button in the top bar. If you switch the outline view, you can select this to save some space.

  • Standalone mode
    If you do not need the cloud synchronization service and do not want to log in to your account, you can select this option to completely turn off the cloud service and enter standalone mode.
    In this mode, you can only create local document libraries, and your local data will not be synchronized to the WonderPen server.

  • Automatically download new versions
    Whether to automatically download new versions when they are released. If you do not want to automatically download new versions, you can cancel this option.
    This option is not available in the Apple Store version.

In addition, you can export the current settings to a JSON file, or import a JSON file to restore the settings. Use this feature when you need to write on multiple devices and need to keep the same settings.
