# 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. ## 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. --- Published with [Niv](https://niv.md/) in the Space .
