Settings and account
Everything on this page is per account, stored in the database, and applies wherever you sign in. Instance-wide configuration lives in environment variables instead.
Settings has a section nav down the left (a swipeable strip on mobile): Account, Registration (administrators only), Preferences, Appearance, Calendar feed, API tokens, Webhooks, Data.
Account
Section titled “Account”Your username is fixed after registration and shown read-only.
Change password asks for the current one and the new one twice. An account bootstrapped by an administrator has no password yet, so it sees Set password instead, with no current-password field.
Passwords must be at least 8 characters. There is no maximum and no composition rule.
Deleting your account
Section titled “Deleting your account”Type your username to confirm. Deletion cascades: your projects, tasks, labels, filters, comments, attachments, reminders, tokens and webhooks all go, and collaborators lose access to projects you owned.
One guard: an administrator cannot delete their own account while other accounts exist. Appoint or leave another administrator first. The last remaining account may delete itself, which reopens first-user bootstrap on the next registration.
Preferences
Section titled “Preferences”| Setting | Default | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Name | empty | Display name in the sidebar. Falls back to your username. |
| Profile photo | none | Sidebar avatar. Any image up to 5 MB. |
| Timezone | UTC | What “today” means. Drives Focus, Upcoming, Calendar, quick-add dates, Completed and Stats grouping. |
| Date format | yyyy-MM-dd |
yyyy-MM-dd, MM/dd/yyyy, dd/MM/yyyy or dd.MM.yyyy. |
| First day of week | Monday | Calendar grids and the Stats activity graph. Monday or Sunday. |
| Daily goal | 5 | Tasks per day. Drives the Today panel and both streaks on Stats. |
| Activity graph | Completed tasks | What the past-year graph counts. |
Timezone is the setting that matters most. Conatus stores due dates as plain calendar dates and resolves “today” in your zone, so getting this wrong shifts every date view by a day.
Activity graph source
Section titled “Activity graph source”| Option | Counts |
|---|---|
| Completed tasks | Completions only. Matches the streak and daily goal above the graph |
| Completed and created tasks | Also counts capturing work, not only finishing it |
| All activity | Also counts comments and new projects |
Un-completing and deleting are never counted under any option, so a day cannot get greener by reversing itself.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”Light, dark or follow the system. The choice is stored locally and applied before first paint, so there is no flash on load.
Calendar feed
Section titled “Calendar feed”Enable, copy, regenerate or disable your iCal subscription URL. See Calendar feed.
API tokens
Section titled “API tokens”Create, review and revoke scoped tokens for the v1 API and the MCP server. See REST API.
Webhooks
Section titled “Webhooks”Register HTTPS endpoints and see their delivery health. See Webhooks.
Registration
Section titled “Registration”Visible only to instance administrators. Generate one-time signup links, and revoke unused ones. See Users and registration.
