iCloud sync
The three tiers
Section titled “The three tiers”Sync in SigilTTY is deliberately three-tiered:
| Data | How it moves |
|---|---|
| Server profiles, folders, snippets | CloudKit, in your private iCloud database |
| Passwords and regular private keys | iCloud Keychain — only if you enable credential sync |
| Biometric-protected private keys | Never synced. Device-local by design |
Why protected keys don’t sync
Section titled “Why protected keys don’t sync”A key protected with Touch ID or Face ID is bound to the device you enrolled it on. That’s the point — it can’t silently appear anywhere else. To use it on a second device, re-import it there or transfer it with Key Handoff.
Turning credential sync on or off
Section titled “Turning credential sync on or off”Credential sync (the iCloud Keychain tier) is a setting — off by default until you enable it. Profile and snippet sync follows your iCloud account availability.
