Appearance
Foxl follows your system light/dark setting by default. To pin it, open Settings > General > Appearance and choose Light, Dark, or System. The setting applies to the desktop app, app.foxl.ai, and the iOS app.
On macOS 26 (Tahoe) and later the window's outer chrome is a real translucent material, so your desktop shows through behind the sidebar while the content stays opaque and readable. Older macOS, Windows, and Linux get the standard opaque window - nothing else changes.
Auto-Updates
Foxl automatically checks for updates and installs them when you quit the app. You'll always have the latest version.
