Desktop Settings

The Desktop section is only available inside the Electron desktop app.

It includes two areas: Desktop updates and Data location.

Desktop updates

Available controls include:

  • Check now to manually check for updates
  • Auto-download updates toggle
  • Download update when a newer version is available
  • Restart to apply when an update is ready

The panel also shows status details such as:

  • last checked time
  • release version information
  • published date
  • download progress
  • last error, when relevant

When OrcaQ is running outside the desktop app, the updater UI explains that desktop updates are only available in Electron.

Data location

The desktop app can show local paths for:

  • Native data path
  • Web storage path
  • App log file

The panel also includes actions to:

  • Open folder
  • Open log

These paths help when you need to inspect local persistence or collect logs for troubleshooting.
