Settings

Settings are split into five tabs.

Automation

Auto Cleanup

Toggle automatic cleanup after bulk operations
Set how many previous versions of each package to keep
Toggle removal of outdated caches
Clear cache on uninstall: automatically removes cached installers when a package is uninstalled

Background Operations

Toggle to run all installs/updates/uninstalls in the background by default
Operations show progress in a bar at the bottom of the screen
VT scans still open the modal since they need your input

Bucket Auto Updater

Pick an update interval: off, 1h, 6h, 24h, 7d, or a custom interval in seconds
Optionally auto-update packages after bucket updates finish
The scheduler persists across restarts. If enough time passed while Rscoop was closed, it runs immediately on launch
Debug mode (see Window & UI tab) unlocks rapid test intervals like 10 seconds

Management

Scoop Configuration

Shows the detected Scoop root path
Override it if you use a non-standard install location

Held Packages

Lists packages you’ve locked to a specific version
Remove holds directly from here

Security

VirusTotal Integration

Enter your VirusTotal API key to enable pre-install scanning
Toggle auto-scan: when enabled, Rscoop scans first and only proceeds if clean
Set a threat tolerance (max detection count). Anything above gets blocked

Window & UI

Theme

Switch between light and dark themes (uses daisyUI themes under the hood)

Window Behavior

Toggle close-to-tray vs. actually exiting when you close the window

Startup

Enable or disable starting Rscoop automatically on Windows boot

Default Launch Page

Pick which page Rscoop opens to (Search, Installed, Buckets, Doctor, or Settings)

Debug Mode

Shows a debug button with cache state and system info
Unlocks rapid test intervals for the auto-update scheduler
