Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/334

This is a very simple yet customizable app. After a few tuning, I wonder if there is a way to backup these settings? For example the font size, the color, the linger time, etc.

I have looked under brew info --cask keycastr, but there is only a KeyCastr.app which doesn't seems to have the configs. Thanks.

KeyCastr just uses NSUserDefaults for storage, so all the app configuration is contained inside of:
~/Library/Preferences/io.github.keycastr.plist
