ZwiftPref (macOS and Windows)

You want to use the hidden setting with which YOU get to decide where you will be zwifting today? You want easy access to set trainer effect (also called resistance level) before you launch Zwift? You can use ZwiftPref on both macOS and Windows to do this and more…

 

What is ZwiftPref?

ZwiftPref is an app for your macOS or Windows computer which helps you change settings for Zwift in the prefs.xml file in an easy and safe way.  More screenshots: 

How to use

After installation, launch the ZwiftPref app. prefs.xml is loaded into the app when it starts and when you press the ‘Reload’ button. Change settings as you like and press ‘Save’ to have the changes written back to prefs.xml. The changes will then apply the next time you start Zwift. If you close/quit the app without pressing ‘Save’ nothing is changed in prefs.xml
