Celerity stores your shortcuts and theme choice locally in your browser, but you can export them as a plain JSON file at any time. That file is a complete snapshot — you can import it later to restore your setup, carry it to another device, or share it with someone else.

​
Configuration file format

An exported config is a single JSON object with two top-level keys: theme and commands.
celerity-config-2024-01-15.json
Each entry inside commands supports the following properties:

​
Exporting your config

Export saves a snapshot of your current theme and all shortcuts as a dated JSON file.
1

Open Settings

Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of any new tab page, or press Alt + +.
2

Scroll to the Config section

The Config section is at the bottom of the Settings panel, below the theme picker.
3

Click Export Config

Click the Export Config button. Your browser downloads the file automatically — no save dialog appears.
4

Locate your file

The file is saved to your default downloads folder and named celerity-config-YYYY-MM-DD.json using today’s date (e.g. celerity-config-2024-01-15.json).

​
Importing a config

Import reads a previously exported .json file and replaces your current shortcuts and theme with the contents of that file.
1

Open Settings

Click the gear icon or press Alt + +.
2

Click Import Config

Click the Import Config button. Your browser’s file picker opens — only .json files are accepted.
3

Select your backup file

Navigate to your saved celerity-config-YYYY-MM-DD.json file and open it.
4

Confirm the import

A confirmation dialog warns that your current configuration will be replaced. Click Import to proceed, or Cancel to abort without making any changes.
Importing overwrites your current configuration entirely. Export your existing shortcuts first if you want to keep a backup before loading a different file.
Celerity automatically upgrades legacy config files. The old theme name dark-abyss is silently mapped to void, so backups from earlier versions import correctly.

​
Resetting to defaults

Reset replaces everything — your shortcuts and your theme — with Celerity’s factory defaults. Use this when you want a clean slate.
1

Open Settings

Click the gear icon or press Alt + +.
2

Click Reset to Default

Click the Reset to Default button in the Config section.
3

Confirm the reset

A confirmation dialog asks you to verify. Click Reset to proceed, or Cancel to keep your current setup.
4

Review the restored defaults

All custom shortcuts are removed and the 12 built-in shortcuts (Gmail, YouTube, Netflix, and so on) are restored. The theme resets to System preference, which follows your operating system’s light or dark mode setting.
Reset cannot be undone. Export your config before resetting if you want to preserve your current shortcuts.
