Configuration file

Almost everything is set in the app. A handful of rarer settings live in ~/.pallm/config.toml on the host. The file is optional, and every setting in it is too: leave out what you don’t need.

After editing it, restart the service: Restart Daemon in the Pallm menu bar icon.

Web and browser

[web]
enabled = true
search = "duckduckgo"      # "searxng", "brave" or "none"

api_key_file = "~/.pallm/brave-search-key"
