📖 Usage Guide

Category Mappings

Map your applications to Twitch categories:

⚡ Recommended Method (Fast & Easy):

1. Launch the game or application you want to map
2. Press Alt+Shift+F1 (default shortcut for manual update)
3. A dialog will appear with all information pre-filled (process name, window title, etc.)
4. Search and select the correct Twitch category
5. Save - done!

Alternative Method (Manual):

1. Go to Category Mappings page
2. Click Add Mapping
3. Manually enter the process name (e.g., League of Legends.exe)
4. Search and select the Twitch category
5. Save and enable the mapping

⚠️ Note: Manual mapping is slow and inconvenient. We highly recommend using the shortcut method instead - it's faster and automatically fills in all required information.

💡 Tip: TKit comes pre-seeded with popular games!

Auto Switcher

Control automatic category switching:

• Start/Stop Monitoring - Toggle automatic switching
• Manual Update - Force update to current window's category
• Quick Mapping - Click the plus (+) button next to your active application to instantly create a mapping for the current process
• View History - See all category changes with timestamps

Settings

TKit is fully configurable with options for scan intervals, debounce delays, fallback behavior, notifications, hotkeys, and update channels. Access settings from the main window or system tray.

🗺️ Roadmap

Disclaimer: This roadmap is not set in stone. These are just ideas we thought would be nice to have - they're straight out of our heads without proper planning or commitment. Consider this a wishlist rather than a promise.

• Multi-platform support (macOS, Linux)
• Auto-update stream title and tags
• Time-based category scheduling
• Advanced mapping rules (window title, regex)
• Cloud sync for mappings
• Integration with other platforms (YouTube, Kick)

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Windows-only (platform-specific process detection)
• Requires browser OAuth flow for Twitch authentication
• Mappings stored locally (no cloud sync yet)
