Setting up Ketch

On this computer: Install the Ketch desktop app and open it once, so your browsers can find it. After that, the extension opens Ketch whenever a download needs it; there is no server to turn on or token to copy.
On another device: On that device, open Settings → Sharing and choose Allow another device. Add the device here with Add server, the address Ketch shows, such as http://192.168.1.20:8642, and the Access code under Advanced as its access token. For ketch server, set apiToken in its config.toml.
Command line or sandboxed browsers: To use ketch server on this computer, or from a browser installed as a Flatpak or Snap, which can't start other apps, add it as a server at http://127.0.0.1:8642.
