Overview

When you enable iCloud Documents syncing on your Mac, the Superwhisper folder may automatically move to iCloud. However, the application might still reference its original location. This mismatch prevents Superwhisper from creating new modes and can cause other functionality issues.
This mainly affects older installs where the Superwhisper folder lived in ~/Documents. The current default is ~/superwhisper in your home directory, which iCloud Documents syncing doesn’t touch.
