maxDEV

Change your maxDEV desktop settings

To open Settings, either:

1. Select the Settings icon on the right side of the NavBar navigation
2. Search for Settings in the tools list

Settings directory

All settings for maxDEV are stored in the .maxdev folder under the user’s home directory:

~/.maxdev

The application provides unified access for all tools to access the settings. This means that each tool requiring configuration persistence might store this configuration under the settings directory. Example:

> ls ~/.maxdev

app_settings.json
redis_client_settings.json

Here, the redis_client_settings.json is used by the Redis Client and stores connection strings created by the user.

JSON-format

maxDEV uses JSON for storing all settings.

{
    "isDarkTheme": false,
    "fontSize": 24
}

Tool-specific settings use an inner settings object to store their configuration.

    "settings": {
        "connections": [
            {
                "id": "1746355263397",
                "name": "local-redis-server",
                "host": "localhost",
                "port": 6379
            },
            {
                "id": "1746355435518",

        ]
    }
