Settings

Open Settings with ⌘, on macOS, or from the command list (⌘O, then >). Each section says where its settings are kept: in this folder, on this device, in your account, or in the Space.

<!-- screenshot: Settings with the section list on the left -->

General

• Appearance: theme, shape, your colour, whether to show the title above the note, icons in tabs and in the note list, and zoom. See Themes and appearance.

• Your day: when your day ends, for your streak and calendar. See Daily and recurring notes.

Account

Sign in or out, and choose Niv's Language. See Signing in.

Space

The Space this folder syncs with: pick one, create one with New, or Unbind. People lists who's in it. Space sync compares your files with the Space. See Spaces.

Sync

What sync needs from you: files to review, notes waiting to join the Space, changes the Space refused, and notes whose properties Niv can't read. Also the list of Local-only files. See When sync asks you something and Local-only files.

Templates

Your templates folder, date and time formats, and the first day of the week. See Templates.

Recurring notes

Notes Niv makes for you on a schedule, and invitations from other people. See Daily and recurring notes.

AI

Instruction files, the agents Niv found, and your agents' MCP servers. See Set up your agent.

History

What was created, moved, renamed or deleted in the Space, with Undo. See Versions and history.

About

The version of Niv you're running, Check for updates, and What changed.

Updates

Niv downloads its updates itself. When one is ready, Home shows "Niv … is ready · Restart to update". Choose Restart to update, or Later: the update installs the next time Niv restarts, and nothing changes until then.
