Settings and Personalization
Open the ⚙ Settings sheet from the top bar. It has a sidebar with seven panes: Display, Notifications, Shortcuts, Trash, Backup, Account, About.

Everything about how the UI looks and behaves:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Theme | Auto / Light / Dark. Auto follows your system preference; Light/Dark override it. Your choice is persisted. |
| Reduce motion | Suppresses the animations (card stagger, transitions, the search ring, etc.) for a calmer, faster-feeling UI. Also respects your OS prefers-reduced-motion. |
| Relative time | Show "2 days ago" style relative dates on cards and the meta strip instead of absolute dates. |
| Polish titles & names | Cleans up titles and actor names for display (e.g. tidies casing/formatting). Turn off to see raw stored values. |
| Reveal panel controls on hover | The Memories/Detail panel maximize & close buttons stay hidden until hover by default. Toggle this to control that behaviour. |
| Browse mode | Tune the adaptive multi-column Browse mode. |
| Default sort | Whether memory lists default to sorting by date or title. |
| Show footer info | Show or hide the footer information row. |
| Auto-delete trashed memories | Server-side: automatically prune old snapshots from Recently deleted. |
The Tools panel toggle also lives here — Tools is hidden by default; enable it to expose the MCP power-tools (see Knowledge Graph & Tunnels).
The theme control is Auto / Light / Dark:
- Auto — match the operating system, and switch live if the OS flips between light and dark.
- Light / Dark — force one regardless of the OS.
The choice is stored and applied before first paint on reload, so there's no flash of the wrong theme.
Your local login (see Security & Safety):
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Account name | Your display name (used as the author of memories you write in the dashboard). |
| Username | Your login username. |
| Change password | Set or rotate your password (PBKDF2-hashed; never leaves the host). |
| Sign out | End your session. |
If you haven't set credentials yet, this is where you create them on first run.
Covered in detail on the Notifications page:
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Suppress notifications | Turn the whole notification system off. |
| Mute notification sound | Keep the bell but silence the audio. |
| Polling interval | How often to check for changes — 15 / 30 / 60 s. Pauses when the tab is hidden. |
| Test notification | Fire a sample notification to verify everything's wired up. |
A full list of Apricity's keyboard shortcuts — and you can remap any of them. Click a shortcut, press your preferred key combo, and it's saved. See the Keyboard Shortcuts page for the defaults.
- The installed version, read from package metadata (so it's always accurate).
- An update-available check against the GitHub releases feed (cached, no spam).
- Support / bug report links.
Where do preferences live? Most UI preferences are stored per-browser (localStorage), but a few that should be machine-wide — like Auto-delete trashed memories and notification seen-state — are stored server-side so they apply no matter which device you use. See Configuration.
