About Piezo's Debugging Window

The Debugging Window

Piezo includes a dedicated Debugging window, which provides access to logging controls, unsupported Hidden Settings and a Factory Reset button for restoring the application’s original settings.

To access Piezo’s Debugging window, hold down the Option key on your keyboard when the Help menu is open. The Contact Rogue Amoeba… command will change to Quit and Relaunch for Debugging.

Select that command and Piezo will quit and relaunch directly to its Debugging window.

Logging & Debugging

In the course of troubleshooting, Rogue Amoeba’s Support team may request debugging logs. These can be enabled from the Logging & Debugging section. For more details, see this article on collecting logs.

Piezo’s Hidden Settings

The Debugging window contains a section dedicated to special hidden settings, which provide some secondary functions that are not intended for everyday use. These settings are intentionally not included in the app’s main interface, as they are useful only in rare or edge cases.

Piezo’s Hidden Settings include:

Check for test releases

Receive prompts to access testing versions of Piezo to try the latest enhancements and bug fixes early.

Limit app capture to default output

By default, Piezo will capture all audio an app is outputting, even if it is outputting audio to multiple devices. When this checkbox is enabled, Piezo will instead only capture audio playing to the system’s default output device.

Short trial mode

When active, Piezo’s trial restrictions will take effect after just 30 seconds. This is intended for internal testing of the trial limitations and can be ignored.

Starting Fresh

Clicking the Factory Reset button in the Start Fresh section of the Debugging window will restore Piezo’s default settings, making the app behave as if it is being launched for the first time. Use this function with caution, as it will revert all custom settings.
