PowerSafe Mode
Answered
Hi, I'm quite new to using PhpStorm. Unfortunately, there is no German user interface, or is there something in work? What is the PowerSafe mode?

Hi there,

Power Save Mode. Select this check box to minimize power consumption of your computer on account of eliminating the background operations. To indicate that the mode is on, Hector fade
When Power Save Mode is on, PhpStorm reduces its functionality to the one of a text editor, by not executing expensive background activities that drain laptop battery. These activities include error highlighting and on-the-fly inspections, autopopup code completion .
You can also toggle Power Save Mode through the "File | Power Save Mode" command on the main menu.
Thanks Andriy for this explanation.
Thanks for raising these questions — a lot of users are wondering the same. Junie is JetBrains’ in-house AI agent, but it uses third-party LLMs like OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), and Gemini. Your code is sent to those providers unless you disable cloud features — no local-only mode yet.
The new AI Pro/Ultimate plans are add-ons to your existing Pro license, not replacements.
