▌Logier

Signed-in Devices

See every machine your Logier account is signed in on, give them names you recognise, and revoke the ones you no longer use.

Every computer you sign in to the Logier app on is listed under Devices on your profile page. It shows what each machine is, when it last connected, and whether it is sharing settings.

A device appears the first time you sign in on it — you do not need to turn anything on. In the app you will find a shortcut to this page under Settings → Settings Sync → Devices.

Devices are managed on the website rather than inside the app on purpose. Revoking a machine from the machine you are sitting at is a confusing place to do it — and if you have lost a laptop, the website is the only place you can act from.

What each row tells you#

  • —Name — your own name for the device, or its hostname if you have not renamed it
  • —Platform and version — macOS, Windows or Linux, and which Logier release it last ran
  • —Last seen — the last time that machine contacted Logier
  • —Syncing or Sync off — whether Settings Sync is switched on for that machine

Renaming a device#

Hostnames like DESKTOP-4KQ81M are not much help when you are deciding which machine to revoke. Click a device's name, type something you will recognise, and press Enter.

The hostname stays visible on the line underneath, so you can still tell two similarly-named machines apart. To go back to the hostname, clear the field and save.

Renaming is purely for your own benefit — it changes nothing on the machine itself, and it survives signing out and back in.

Revoking a device#

Use Revoke when you have sold a machine, left a job, or simply no longer use it. You will be asked to confirm.

Two things happen:

  1. Settings sync for that device stops immediately — it can no longer read or write your settings.
  2. The next time Logier on that machine connects, it signs itself out and asks whoever is using it to sign in again.
The sign-out happens the next time that machine reaches Logier — not instantly. A computer that is switched off or offline stays signed in until it next connects, at which point it signs out before doing anything else. If a device has been stolen, change your account password as well.

Nothing already on the device is deleted. Log files, custom themes and API keys stay where they are — revoking ends the session, it does not wipe the machine.

Removing a revoked device from the list#

A revoked device stays in the list, greyed out and marked Revoked, so you can see the revocation is in place. Once you are done with it, use the delete button to remove the row entirely.

Using a revoked device again#

Revoking is not permanent. Signing in on that machine again re-registers it and clears the revocation — which is exactly what "revoke" should mean: that computer has to prove it is you again. Settings Sync stays switched off until you turn it back on there.

A device you do not recognise#

Revoke it, then change your account password. Revoking stops that machine using your account, and the password change stops whoever has it from simply signing in again.
