The sentence "When Bookmacster is quit..." is ambiguous; does this mean it's syncing only when I quit it (in other words when it shuts down), or is it syncing behind the scenes when it's not running?
The latter, in the sense that macOS

We show the warning because, if we attempted a sync, any changes you recently made in BookMacster and changes recently made in browsers (by you, iCloud, or whatever) could step on one another.
