Getting Started

Enabling Cloud Sync

Cloud Sync runs automatically while you're signed in. This page explains where it lives in the Mavster macOS app and how synced data shows up in the web app.

Cloud Sync lets the web app show analytics for your projects and gives you remote backups of your test data. There's no separate toggle — being signed in is what enables it, and you're always signed in while using Mavster.

Where to find it

Open the Account modal in the Mavster macOS app. Inside, the Cloud Backups section shows the current status (Enabled) plus the number of projects synced and total backups, with a Manage Backups button that opens the backup browser for downloading or restoring individual backups.

Account modal open in the macOS app, with the Cloud Backups section visible. Status shows Enabled, with project/backup stats and Manage Backups button.

How it works

  • Cloud Sync is per-project, and applies to every project on your account. As you create or open new projects, they're picked up by Cloud Sync without any per-project toggle.
  • Synced projects appear in the web app's overview under your account.

What gets synced

  • Test definitions and their run history.
  • Cost / credit usage per test.
  • Backups of project data.

What doesn't get synced

  • Memory caches (Position Memory, Assert Memory, List Bounds Memory) stay local to the Mac that produced them. A new Mac running the same test takes a couple of warmup runs to rebuild them.
  • Recordings (if your tier captures them) live on the device that recorded them.

Troubleshooting

  • "Manage Backups is empty." Try running a test in any synced project — a project that hasn't been run yet may not have any backups to show.
  • "My project shows up in the Mac app but not in the web app." Open the project in the Mac app and trigger a run, then refresh the web app.
