mani daemon

Runs sync continuously in the background instead of watch holding a foreground terminal.

Usage

mani daemon [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Commands

• start — Start the background sync daemon
• stop — Stop the background sync daemon
• status — Show whether the daemon is running and what it's syncing
• help — Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options

mani daemon --timing

Print a per-phase timing breakdown to stderr (same as MANIFA_TIMING=1). Useful for diagnosing a slow sync / clone

mani daemon --json

Emit a machine-readable result envelope instead of human text (works on every command). Success prints {"ok":true,"value":…}; failure prints {"ok":false,"error":{"code":…,"message":…}} with a differentiated exit code. Stable field names for scripting/agents

mani daemon --quiet

Suppress progress and chatter — print only results and errors (alias: -q)

mani daemon --no-color

Never colorize output (also honored: the NO_COLOR env var). Color is off automatically when output isn't an interactive terminal

mani daemon --help

Print help (alias: -h)

mani daemon start

Start the background sync daemon

Usage

mani daemon start [OPTIONS]

Options

mani daemon start --finder

Serve vaults mounted in Finder instead of syncing a directory (macOS). Run it from anywhere: a Finder mount has no local copy of the vault, so there is no vault directory to start from. The daemon then only vends keys to the File Provider extension and completes pending shares — it watches nothing

mani daemon start --timing

Print a per-phase timing breakdown to stderr (same as MANIFA_TIMING=1). Useful for diagnosing a slow sync / clone

mani daemon start --json

Emit a machine-readable result envelope instead of human text (works on every command). Success prints {"ok":true,"value":…}; failure prints {"ok":false,"error":{"code":…,"message":…}} with a differentiated exit code. Stable field names for scripting/agents

mani daemon start --quiet

Suppress progress and chatter — print only results and errors (alias: -q)

mani daemon start --no-color

Never colorize output (also honored: the NO_COLOR env var). Color is off automatically when output isn't an interactive terminal

Print help (alias: -h)

mani daemon stop

Usage

Options

mani daemon stop --timing
