        "content": "Hey \u2014 I wasn\u2019t able to find anything in the documentation for *Tweesecake* (or related user help) that explains a built-in way to \u201crefresh favorites\u201d synced from other apps like *Tursker* or *Ivory*. But I did dig up a few related pieces that might help you figure out what *could* be going on, and some troubleshooting steps you might try.\n\n---\n\n### What *Tweesecake* *does* support / recent changes\n\n- One of the more recent changelog entries for Tweesecake mentions a fix for \u201cfixes a bug where favorites/bookmarks \u2026\u201d under the Mastodon section. ([tweesecake.app](https://tweesecake.app/changes?utm_source=openai)) That suggests there was an issue affecting how favorites/bookmarks are displayed or synced, and the developers have attempted to address it in a newer update.\n\n- There\u2019s no specific mention in the docs about \u201cpull to refresh favorites\u201d or manually triggering a favorites sync. ([tweesecake.app](https://tweesecake.app/documentation?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### What *Ivory* does for \u201cFavorites\u201d / Syncing\n\n- In Ivory (a different app), the *Sync Status* under Settings lets you see whether it\u2019s syncing (e.g. via iCloud). It also recommends letting the app catch up \u201con its own\u201d rather than pulling to refresh too early, since that can interrupt the sync process. ([tapbots.com](https://tapbots.com/support/ivory/general/icloud?utm_source=openai))\n\n- If iCloud Drive is disabled, or if Ivory isn\u2019t enabled under iCloud on a device, the sync won\u2019t fully work. ([tapbots.com](https://tapbots.com/support/ivory/general/icloud?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### What you *can try* to get Tweesecake holding the updated favorites\n\nSince there\u2019s no obvious \u201crefresh favorites\u201d command in Tweesecake\u2019s documentation, here are some steps that *might* help force it to pick up your favorites again:\n\n1. **Update Tweesecake**\n\n   Make sure Tweesecake is at the latest version; the favorites/bookmarks issue was specifically mentioned in recent changelogs. If you have an older version, it might still have the sync bug. ([tweesecake.app](https://tweesecake.app/changes?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. **Check how \u201cfavorites\u201d are exposed**\n\n   If Ivory (or Tursker) is storing favorites/bookmarks, they need to be exposed through the API or service that Tweesecake uses (e.g., Mastodon). If \u201cfavorite\u201d is a property on posts (or content) in the source, then Tweesecake can read it; otherwise, it can\u2019t. If possible, check whether those apps are saving favorites in a way external apps can access.\n\n3. **Force a cache clear / restart**\n\n   - Quit Tweesecake entirely (make sure it\u2019s not just backgrounded).  \n   - Re-open it to force a fresh load.  \n   - If the app has a local cache or database, sometimes backing that up (if needed), deleting it, and letting the app re-sync can help. (Be careful here \u2014 make sure you don\u2019t lose data!)\n\n4. **Let sync finish fully in Ivory / Tursker, then check**\n\n   As mentioned, Ivory waits for sync from iCloud. If the sync hasn\u2019t fully completed, Tweesecake won\u2019t see the updated favorites. So open Ivory, make sure it shows \u201cSync Status\u201d as caught up, and then try Tweesecake. ([tapbots.com](https://tapbots.com/support/ivory/general/icloud?utm_source=openai))\n\n5. **Reach out / check settings in Tweesecake**\n\n   - Go through Tweesecake\u2019s settings: sometimes \u201cauto-load previous items\u201d, \u201cclear buffers on startup\u201d, \u201cfavorite buffers\u201d settings might affect what\u2019s shown. ([tweesecake.app](https://tweesecake.app/changes?utm_source=openai))  \n   - See if there\u2019s a \u201cfavorite\u201d or \u201cbookmark\u201d buffer or view, and ensure the session for the relevant service (Mastodon, etc.) is enabled and connected correctly.\n\n6. **Check for any known service status**\n\n   Sometimes iCloud or the service used by one of the apps might have downtime or syncing delays. Checking service status pages (Apple, or Ivory\u2019s support) can help rule that out. ([tapbots.com](https://tapbots.com/support/ivory/general/icloud?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can try to walk you through step by step with *your specific devices* (what OS, what service for favorites) to see whether there\u2019s a setting exact to your setup that might be blocking the sync. Do you want to do that?"
