# Settings

> Settings is split into things about you and things about the workspace. Account tabs cover Profile, Scout, API, Invite and earn, Billing and Notifications. Workspace tabs cover Defaults, Theme and Display. Open it from the sidebar or with Cmd-K and typing settings.

Open with `⌘K` → "settings", or from the sidebar. Settings are stored on your
account, not the device, so they follow you everywhere you sign in.

## Account

### Profile

Profile picture, display name, email, and your
**[presence colour](/docs/collaborate/presence)** — the colour your cursor and
selection halos appear in to everyone else.

### Scout

The connect code for [Soleil Scout](/docs/scout), which binds a phone number to
this account so texted photos land in your workspace. Also shows identities
already connected.

### API

Create and revoke [personal access tokens](/docs/api/authentication) for the
[REST API](/docs/api) and [MCP](/docs/mcp).

Each token gets a name and an **Allow writes** checkbox — leave it off for a
read-only token. The token value is shown **once**, at creation. It is stored
only as a hash and cannot be recovered; a lost token is revoked and replaced.

### Invite & earn

Your [referral](/docs/account/referrals) link, share targets, and the stats:
friends joined, how many got started, cards earned, free months.

### Billing

Current plan, the Stripe customer portal for payment details and cancellation,
and the **storage meter** showing what you have used against your quota. See
[Plans](/docs/account/plans).

### Notifications

Five independent switches — mentions, comment replies, workspace invites, board
shares, and product tips. See
[Notifications](/docs/collaborate/notifications).

## Workspace

### Defaults

What new things start as, so you are not restyling every one:

- **Notes** — background, text colour, font, size
- **Shapes** — font, stroke colour, fill colour, stroke width
- **Default view** — whether clusters open as [canvas or list](/docs/clusters/list-view)

### Theme

Light or dark mode, accent colour, and body font — a curated list of around
twenty-five families plus anything from Google Fonts. See
[Theme and defaults](/docs/account/theme-and-defaults).

### Display

- **Clean mode** — hide interface chrome for presenting (`⌘.`)
- **Sidebar open by default**

## Not in Settings

A few things live where they apply rather than in a settings screen:

| Setting | Where |
|---|---|
| Cluster cover / thumbnail | Right-click the [cluster](/docs/clusters) |
| Canvas background colour | Right-click the [canvas](/docs/canvas) |
| Public link expiry and indexing | The [Share](/docs/collaborate/sharing) dialog |
| Hiding [comments](/docs/collaborate/comments) | The eye toggle on the board |
