Only what the catalog names. A directory that syncs brings everything inside it except what is listed as excluded here.

# ShiftIt ships no command-line tool, so `detect` carries the bundle

# identifier. The project's own README uses it in its accessibility

# troubleshooting recipe — `update access set allowed=1 where client like

# "%org.shiftitapp.ShiftIt%"` — and the Homebrew cask zaps the matching

# preferences domain (Casks/s/shiftit.rb).

detect = ["org.shiftitapp.ShiftIt"]

platforms = ["macos"]

# The shortcuts are ordinary user defaults: ShiftItAppDelegate.m loads its

# defaults plist from the bundle into `[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]`

# and reads the user's bindings back from the same place, so they land in the

# app's preferences domain. The Homebrew cask names that file in its zap

# stanza. [preferences] is ~/Library/Preferences, and the entry is macOS-only,

# so there is no other platform for that root to stand for.

paths = ["[preferences]/org.shiftitapp.ShiftIt.plist"]

# The app's Application Support directory holds one file and it is telemetry,

# not settings: ShiftItAppDelegate.m writes `kUsageStatisticsFileName =

# @"usage-statistics.plist"` into `[[NSFileManager defaultManager]

# applicationSupportDirectory]`, a counter of how often each window action ran.

# It is named here even though no path above contains it.

exclude = ["[appData]/ShiftIt/usage-statistics.plist"]

# No credential: ShiftIt is free software and the domain holds keyboard

# shortcuts and window-sizing options.

secret = []

# No machine_lines: the keyboard shortcuts are the whole reason to carry the

# domain, and a property list has no matcher in this schema anyway — `format`

# covers toml, yaml and json only.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/shiftit. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.
