Description

I'm using multiple MacBooks and have Maccy installed on all of them as it's a great utility ❤️!

Is there a way to automatically or semi-automatically sync settings between my computers? For example, I usually want to set the history length to some higher number or have "Avoid taking application focus" selected, right now, I do this manually but I don't remember all the settings that I usually want to set so if this could be automated somehow, it would help.

Research direction
Investigate how Maccy currently stores settings (e.g., UserDefaults or a plist file) and explore options for syncing them across machines, such as using iCloud, a cloud file, or a custom sync solution. Consider security and privacy implications.
