Tips for Best Experience

Positioning Tips

Corner Placement

• Bottom-right corner works well for most users
• Stays out of the way of main work areas
• Easy to access without disrupting workflow

Top Horizontal

• Try horizontal PowerStrip at screen top for quick access
• Great for users who frequently switch between applications
• Minimizes mouse movement for activation

Multi-Monitor

• Place on secondary monitor for reference while working
• Keep main monitor clear for primary tasks
• Use as a persistent reference panel

Workflow Integration

Use Shortcuts

• Master the global shortcuts for fastest access
• Practice until they become muscle memory
• Shortcuts are faster than mouse interaction
• Remember: Shortcuts are based on YOUR module order!

Module Switching

• Use Control+1-9 to jump directly to needed features
• Skip the interface navigation entirely
• Direct access maintains flow state
• Check Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts to see YOUR assignments

Quick Toggle

• Control+E to hide/show when presenting or focusing
• Perfect for screen sharing scenarios
• Instant access when needed, invisible when not

Customization Recommendations

Start Small

• Begin with PowerStrip view, expand as needed
• Don't overwhelm yourself with all features at once
• Gradually incorporate more modules into your workflow
• Free plan: Start with 3-4 modules, grow to 5
• Lifetime plan: Start with 5-6 modules, grow as needed

Personalize

• Adjust position and size to match your workflow
• Experiment with different orientations
• Find what works best for your specific setup
• Reorder modules to optimize shortcuts (most-used = Control+1)

Privacy Mode

• Enable incognito mode for screen sharing/recording (Lifetime plan only)
• Prevents Berri from appearing in screenshots
• Professional appearance during presentations

Module Organization

Prioritize Your Workflow

• Put most-used module first (Control+1)
• Second-most-used module second (Control+2)
• Rarely-used modules last (or hide them)
• Review usage monthly and reorder as needed

Free Plan Strategy (5 Modules)

• Choose your core 5 modules carefully
• Use FIFO to try new modules (oldest auto-deselects)
• Don't stress - you can always change in Settings
• Settings is always included (doesn't count)

Lifetime Plan Strategy (12 Modules)

• Enable all modules you might use
• Hide rarely-used ones (keeps PowerStrip clean)
• Shortcuts still work even if hidden
• Experiment freely - no auto-replacement

Advanced Workflow Patterns

The Quick Capture Pattern

1. Assign Control+Shift+S to Snipping Tool

2. Put Clipboard on Control+2 for quick paste history

3. Use Notes on Control+1 for quick thoughts

4. Build muscle memory for rapid information capture

The Reference Monitor Setup

• Place Berri on secondary monitor
• Keep Notes, Clipboard, or Files visible
• Use as persistent reference while working on main display

The Presentation Mode

• Control+E to hide before presenting
• Enable incognito mode in settings (Lifetime only)
• Control+E to restore after presentation

Productivity Maximization

Integration with Other Apps

• Use clipboard history to move data between applications
• Screenshot features for visual documentation
• Notes for quick thoughts and reminders

Organization Systems

• Develop consistent tagging in Notes
• Keep clipboard favorites for frequently used content
• Review and clean up regularly

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Don't Memorize Fixed Shortcuts

• ❌ "Control+4 is always Notes"
• ✅ "My 4th module is Notes, so Control+4 opens it"
• Shortcuts change when you reorder modules!

Don't Ignore Module Order

• Order determines shortcuts
• Reordering changes shortcuts
• Practice new shortcuts after reordering

Don't Hide Everything

• Hidden modules have no automatic shortcuts
• Keep frequently-used modules visible
• Only hide rarely-used modules

Pro Tips

Keyboard Mastery

• Learn YOUR specific Control+# assignments
• Don't assume "Notes is always Control+1"
• Check Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts regularly

Muscle Memory

• Practice shortcuts 10-20 times after changes
• Don't reorder frequently
• Consistency builds speed

Plan Your Setup

• Free plan: Choose wisely (only 5 modules)
• Lifetime plan: Enable many, hide unused
• Both: Put most-used modules first
