Find a setting

Open the settings from the sidebar, or with Mod ,. A search at the top goes through every section: search by word, accents or not. Every setting, with its values and what it changes, is listed on Settings in the reference.

The sections

Behavior — how the app behaves with you:

• Appearance and motion — theme, colors, how much animation, the language of the menus.
• Chat and composer — how you read and write. Model and permissions belong to each session.
• Agent tools and permissions — what the agent may do, and the source of web search.
• Memory and context — how the model’s window is shared, and the limits available.
• Security and privacy — local data, and moving your preferences.

Infrastructure — what it works with:

• Model laboratory — providers and their keys, models on this computer, downloads; see Connect a provider and Run a model on your computer.
• Costs and usage — tokens by day and by model; see Models and providers.
• Files and workspace — the active folder and session.
• Account, Doctor and backup — the inventory of agents, hooks, skills, plugins and MCP servers, and Doctor.

Move your preferences

Settings stay on this computer: nothing is synced and nothing is sent. To take them elsewhere, open Security and privacy, export them to a file, and import it on the other computer; you can also restore the initial values. These actions move preferences, not conversations.

If a setting has no effect

Some settings apply from the next session. Open a new one to check.
