Desktop App User Guide
The PenCake desktop app is a service provided to Premium users.
Free users will experience the following limitations:
- Inability to save articles
- No automatic synchronization
Premium can be purchased via the mobile version.
After purchase, perform the sync setup in the order: the mobile version → the desktop version, to activate your Premium in the desktop version.
If you’re already using synchronization on the mobile version, you just need to set up additional synchronization on the desktop version.
Caution: Incorrect synchronization settings may result in data loss. If you need help, please contact us at: pencake.app@gmail.com
