Import and export .akr packs

Export, import, and share whole or scoped Akron .akr setup packs for preserved setups and map-specific workflows.

Akron uses .akr files to save and share setup state. Export the whole Akron setup or a single scoped section. These packs are separate from the Backups tab’s Celeste save-folder ZIPs.

Export a .akr pack

1. Open the Interface tab

   Open the Akron overlay, go to Interface, and choose Export Setup.

2. Choose the scope

   Select Whole for all portable setup state, or choose StartPos, Keybinds, Auto Kill, Auto Deafen, Recorder, Audio, or HUD.

3. Export the pack

   Confirm the export to write the .akr file to the Akron setup export directory.

4. Review before sharing

   Check the file name, scope, and intended map or context before sharing the pack.

Import a .akr pack

1. Back up current settings

   Export your current setup before importing a shared pack.

2. Open the import flow

   Open the Akron overlay, go to Interface, and choose Import Setup.

3. Choose the import scope

   Select Whole to import all portable setup state. For scoped packs, choose the target section before selecting the .akr file.

4. Select the pack

   Choose the .akr file. Akron imports it immediately using the scope selected above.

5. Test the imported settings

   Test the changed settings in a non-submission context.

Section behavior

Section	Import behavior
Whole	Replaces all portable setup state, button bindings, menu action bindings, and StartPos slots for the target map.
StartPos	Replaces StartPos settings and every saved slot for the pack’s target map. Slots for other maps remain.
Keybinds	Replaces Everest button bindings and Akron menu action bindings.
Auto Kill	Replaces Auto Kill trigger and area state.
Auto Deafen	Replaces the Auto Deafen toggle and area state. The local hotkey remains unchanged.
Recorder	Replaces portable replay-buffer, trigger, audio-capture, codec, quality, and preset state.
Audio	Replaces audio speed, pitch, per-sound volume, and override state.
HUD	Replaces HUD widgets, labels, input displays, resource bars, counters, and HUD presentation state.

Scoped imports replace only the selected portable section and do not reset unrelated settings. Setup packs preserve the screenshot export path; recording output folder, filename template, replay auto-start mode, and colorspace arguments; audio-splitter state and device selections; and the Auto Deafen hotkey. Whole packs preserve these machine-local values too.

Imported options classified as Cheat can mark the attempt as Cheat when used.
