• Plex SSO — optional Plex sign-in for the web app

• Authentication — connect providers (under Settings → Providers)

• Configure Pairs — pair options and safety controls

• Scheduling — periodic runs

• Scrobble — real-time playback syncing

• Maintenance — debug level and cleanup tools

• HTTPS/TLS — UI TLS and certificates
