Shortcuts, Contact, and About
Use keyboard shortcuts and find version, contact, and support details.
Follow the bold button names and numbered steps. Technical names are included only when you need to recognize a model or file inside the app.

Check the installed version and edition clues
Goal
Collect the information support needs and verify an update.
Before you start
Know whether you installed Local Waifu from the Direct download or a Store/Unlocked channel. The presence of Settings → License is a useful clue: Direct shows it; Store/Unlocked does not.
Steps
- Open Settings → About.
- Read the number shown after Version.
- Note your operating system and whether Settings → License is present.
- If reporting a model or voice issue, also note the active model names.
- If requested, save a Diagnostics report, review it, redact private details, and attach it privately.
Expected result
You have the app version, platform, edition clue, reproduction steps, exact error text, and a reviewed diagnostic file if needed.
If something goes wrong
If About cannot load, include the installer filename or download channel and state that the version screen was unavailable. Do not reset the app merely to retrieve a version number.
