# Shifty ships no command-line tool, so `detect` carries the bundle identifier.

# The Homebrew cask names it in `uninstall quit:` — io.natethompson.Shifty —

# and zaps the matching preferences domain (Casks/s/shifty.rb).

# Everything Shifty remembers is an ordinary user default. Shifty/PrefManager.swift

# lists the keys it registers against `UserDefaults.standard` —

# isStatusToggleEnabled, isAutoLaunchEnabled, isIconSwitchingEnabled,

# isDarkModeSyncEnabled, isWebsiteControlEnabled, trueToneControl, the

# toggleNightShiftShortcut / incrementColorTempShortcut / disableAppShortcut

# family — and Shifty/RuleManager.swift keeps the per-app and per-website rules

# in the same place, encoding them into the "disabledApps",

# "disabledRunningApps" and "browserRules" defaults. So the preferences domain

# is the whole configuration; the Homebrew cask names that same 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.

# No machine_lines: the per-app and per-website rules are exactly what a user

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