Options & settings

The options page is the full-page settings UI. Open it via right-click on the extension icon › Options, or chrome://extensions/ › Toado › DetailsExtension options.

Account

SettingWhat it does
Signed in asShows the email of the currently bound Toado account.
Switch accountSign out and sign in as a different user.
Sign outClears the local session. Captures cannot fire until you sign back in.

The extension uses the same account as the web app. Signing out of the extension does not sign you out of the web app, and vice versa.

Default project

SettingWhat it does
Default projectThe project new captures land in unless overridden.
Auto-pick from URL patternsWhen on, the extension consults each project’s configured URL patterns and overrides the default if a match exists.
Remember per-origin choicesWhen on, the extension caches the last-chosen project per origin. The next capture from that origin defaults to it.

You can also change project per-capture from the extension popup.

Capture

SettingDefaultWhat it does
Review before submitOffShow the capture preview (with redactions applied) before sending. Adds a confirmation step; off is faster.
Capture screenshotOnSet to off to skip the screenshot. Rare; you almost always want it.
Capture consoleOnHook console output.
Capture networkOnHook fetch and XHR.
Network body limit10 MB total / captureHard cap on response bodies. Larger responses are truncated with a flag.
Capture errorsOnwindow.onerror and unhandledrejection.
Capture performanceOnNavigation timing, long tasks, Web Vitals.
Screenshot qualityHighHigh = ~PNG, medium = ~80% JPEG, low = ~50% JPEG.

Redaction defaults

SettingWhat it does
Auto-redact emailsDetect anything matching an email pattern in network response bodies and replace with [redacted-email].
Auto-redact bearer tokensDetect Authorization: Bearer ... and similar in headers and replace with [redacted-token].
Custom redaction patternsAdd a list of regexes that get replaced with [redacted] in headers and bodies.
Redact image regions on captureWhen on, opens the redaction tool before upload (rather than after) so sensitive pixels never leave your machine. Pairs well with Review before submit.

Keyboard shortcuts

The extension ships with two shortcut commands:

CommandDefaultConfigurable in
Open popupAlt+Bchrome://extensions/shortcuts
Capture immediatelyAlt+Cchrome://extensions/shortcuts

To change them, open chrome://extensions/shortcuts, find Toado, and edit. Changes apply per-OS, not per-Chrome-profile.

Telemetry

SettingDefaultWhat it does
Send anonymous usage dataOnSends extension version, OS, capture counts (no per-capture data), error counts. Used to prioritize bug fixes and feature work.
Send error reportsOnSends extension-side errors with stack traces. Includes Chrome version and OS, no page content.

Both can be turned off independently. Neither sends URL, page content, or any data from your captures.

Reset

ActionWhat it does
Clear offline queueDeletes any captures pending in the offline queue. Use when you want to discard rather than retry.
Reset extensionClears all extension storage (sign-out, preferences, queue, per-origin project memory). Equivalent to a fresh install.
