When you launch Multilogin 6, manually or via CLI, you get access to the Local API, allowing to control Multilogin browser profiles programmatically: create new profiles, organize them into groups, fetch a full list of profiles, and more. 

Step 1: define the app listening port

Once your Custom plan is active, predefine a default listening port directly in the app.properties file. 

Define ports

Here's how to predefine your default listening port in the app.properties file:

1. Open Multilogin
2. Go to “My account”
3. Click “Open logs directory” – this will open the folder /.multiloginapp.com/logs
4. Navigate one folder up to /.multiloginapp.com
5. Use any text editor to open app.properties
6. Add a new line to specify the port number: multiloginapp.port=35000
7. Save the changes

Make sure the port number is between 10000 and 49151.

 

You can also find the app.properties file in the .multiloginapp.com folder:

• Windows: C:\Users\%username%\.multiloginapp.com
• Linux: /home/%username%/.multiloginapp.com
• macOS: /Users/%username%/.multiloginapp.com

The folder may be hidden, depending on your OS settings. To display this folder on Mac devices, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

• Cmd + Shift + H – to display the current user's folder
• Cmd + Shift + . (period) – to display hidden folders and files
