Why does the system show a terminal window? The window performs the work of gathering data from the internet. This is how the program monitors the news.
What happens if the internet goes down? The program pauses its activity. Once your connection restores, the software resumes gathering news automatically.
Does this software store my private information? The software stores settings locally on your computer. Your account keys for telegram or other channels remain on your device.
Can I change the language of the reports? The system creates reports in Chinese by default. You can adjust the language output in the Advanced Settings menu if you prefer other options.
If you encounter difficulties, check these common fixes:
- Application does not open: Ensure no other instance of the program is currently running. Check your task manager to close frozen processes.
- No news appears: Verify your internet connection. Check that your RSS feed list contains valid, active links.
- Messages do not send: Verify that your access keys for Telegram or Feishu are correct. Ensure you have network permissions enabled for this application in your firewall settings.
- Application is slow: Close other memory-intensive programs like web browsers with many open tabs to free up resources.
