Profile metadata
Mimic stores its own metadata per profile in ~/.config/mimic/config.json. This data never touches ~/.aws/config.

Editing
Expand a profile to edit all fields inline. Changes are debounced (400ms) and automatically saved to disk.
Tags
Type to add, click × to remove. Tag suggestions are auto-populated from all tags across all profiles. Tags are truncated at 20 characters in card display.
Colors
Enable "Profile colors" in Settings → Appearance. Expand a profile to pick a color. Disabling profile colors clears all assigned colors.
Star
Toggle star on any card. When "Starred first" is enabled in settings, starred profiles sort above all others.
Hide
Hidden profiles are moved to a collapsible section at the bottom of the list with reduced opacity. Useful for rarely-used profiles you don't want to delete.
