like yes, that's literally the whole description. it said what it said. main character energy only. πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • --choose-profile β€” pops up the Choose Profile dialog the second you start up. πŸͺ„ cannot be used together with --remote, so pick a lane bestie.
  • -h, --help β€” shows this help message and dips. no notes. πŸ’–
  • --profile=PROFILE β€” activates the program instance that's running the profile you named. if there isn't one? it just opens a brand new instance using that profile instead (unless you also threw --remote in there, which changes the vibe). ✨
  • --remote β€” forces remote-control mode, no cap. if there's no running instance, or you specified --profile but nothing is using it, it exits without doing anything at all. πŸšͺ cannot be used with --choose-profile. periodt.
  • --status=STATUS β€” sets your status. and STATUS has to be one of exactly these: online, chat, away, xa, dnd, offline. that's the whole list, don't freestyle it. πŸ¦‹
  • --status-message=MSG β€” sets your status message. must be used together with --status, they're a package deal fr fr. πŸ’Œ
  • --uri=URI β€” opens an XMPP URI, like xmpp:someone@example.org?chat. πŸ“ but listen β€” for security reasons, this one has to be the last option. like, the literal last thing. do not put anything after it. πŸ™ˆ
  • -v, --version β€” shows version info and exits. cute and quick. ⭐
