Levo help · Cleaning up

Protected folders

Levo never touches some places, whatever your settings, and you can add your own. Protected folders are also hidden from your agent.

Always protected

These stay off limits at every level, in Auto mode and for the agent:

• Photos, the Mail store, Messages and iCloud Drive.
• Keychains and passwords.
• ~/.ssh and ~/.gnupg.
• .env files and other credential files.
• /System and app bundles.
• Lone .git folders.

Settings › Protected shows the full list, read-only, under Always protected.

Add your own

1. Open Settings › Protected.
2. Under Protected folders, click + and choose a folder.
3. Remove one later with its minus button.

Levo never indexes a protected folder, never shows it to your agent, and never suggests or cleans anything inside it. Use this for client work, an archive, a game library or anything you want out of Levo's sight.

Keep what changed recently

Keep what changed within sets a window, in hours, in which anything changed is always kept. It adds to the built-in five-minute settle time. Off by default.

Kept processes

Processes you chose to always keep are listed here too. Levo never offers to quit them. See Free memory, CPU and GPU.

One more way to keep something

Select a group in the popover and press ⌘D, or choose Always keep in ⌘K. That removes it from the list for good.
