backdown desktop

backdown desktop [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

backdown desktop install#

Add BackDown to your applications: the menu and icons (Linux), ~/Applications/BackDown.app (macOS), or the Start menu (Windows). It opens backdown app.

backdown desktop install [OPTIONS]

Options#

--autostart next preview

Also start BackDown's background service when you log in (on macOS, the login item backdown service install makes).

backdown desktop uninstall#

Remove what desktop install added (your index, settings and licence stay)

backdown desktop uninstall [OPTIONS]

All of them also take the global options --db and --local.

Good to know#

Linux: io.backdown.BackDown.desktop and its icons in ~/.local/share (with --autostart, an autostart entry that runs backdown app --no-window). macOS: ~/Applications/BackDown.app, a small bundle that runs this program (with --autostart, the LaunchAgent backdown service install makes). Windows: a Start menu entry (with --autostart, the scheduled task backdown service install makes). uninstall removes what install added and leaves the background service; backdown service uninstall removes that.

Examples#

backdown desktop install
# Linux and Windows: also start the background service when you log in
backdown desktop install --autostart
backdown desktop uninstall
