Description

Often friends ask me, how to set properly SimpleX (theme, fonts, operators, etc.).

I wish just generate a config file to share it safely with my friends or in a web forum.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating where app settings are stored and where export/import could be exposed, then define which settings can be shared without contacts or other personal information. Done means a settings-only file can be generated and imported safely, with personal data excluded.
