iCloud

iCloud Sync keeps your settings in sync across your Macs and backs them up to iCloud. It saves all your configuration — including your monitors and their settings — so that any Mac signed in to the same iCloud account can restore them with a single click.

Enable iCloud Sync — when on, PeakHour automatically keeps your monitor configurations and settings stored in iCloud and synced across your devices. When a change is made on another Mac, you’re notified and can choose whether to import it here or overwrite the version in iCloud.

Last Synced — when PeakHour last synced your settings with iCloud.

With iCloud Sync enabled, PeakHour always saves changes to iCloud automatically. If another Mac that also has iCloud Sync enabled detects new settings, a cloud icon appears in the footer of the PeakHour window:
