App & settings

Settings

Appearance and themes, display mode, language, download destination, USB auto-launch, and more.

Open Settings from the Home menu. Here’s what each section does.

Appearance

  • Display modeSystem default, Light, or Dark. These three are always free.
  • App theme — the colour palette. Slate is the free default; Futuristic, Terminal, Nebula, Sunset, and Oceanic are part of BootForge Pro. Locked themes show a small Pro badge; tapping one opens the Pro showcase.

Language

Choose System default, English, Español, Português (Brasil), or Русский. Picking a language switches the whole app immediately; System default follows your phone’s language.

Downloads

Save downloads to sets where in-app downloads go:

  • Ask every time — BootForge prompts per download.
  • This phone — your device library.
  • USB drive — straight to the connected drive.

You can change this any time, and the per-download prompt lets you remember your choice.

USB drive

Open when a drive is connected controls whether Android may offer to open BootForge when you plug in a USB drive. It’s off by default. Turn it on, and the first time you connect a drive tap “Use by default for this USB device” to make it automatic. BootForge can’t force this — Android owns the “use by default” choice — and turning it off stops the prompt entirely. (Tap How this works for the full explanation.)

More

A shortcut into the advanced/diagnostics surfaces — USB details, Ventoy assets, and ISO verification.

BootForge Pro

Shows whether Pro is active, or lets you Unlock Pro (a one-time purchase) and Restore purchase on a new device. See BootForge Pro.

Developer (debug builds only)

A Simulate Pro toggle appears only in debug builds, used during development to preview the free vs Pro experience. It isn’t present in the version you install from Google Play.
