Settings
Open Settings in Kognar Chat at any time with Ctrl/Cmd+U, by clicking the gear icon at the bottom of the sidebar, or from the gear icon in the chat header.
The Settings window has a left navigation column with the sections below, your account Logout button at the bottom of that column, and the content area on the right.
| Section | What you'll find |
|---|---|
| General | Connection, default models, behavior, experimental features, voice & transcription, language & region |
| Models & Providers | Providers on your account, and routing preferences |
| Agents & MCP | Not available yet — agents, MCP servers and rules moved to the Power Tools panel |
| Privacy & Security | Not available yet |
| Personalization | Memory and in-conversation references |
| Data & Storage | Storage usage, backup & restore, danger zone |
| Sync with mobile | Pair this computer with the Kognar mobile app |
| Appearance | Not available yet — see Appearance |
| Shortcuts | Not available yet — see Keyboard Shortcuts |
| Assistant | Desktop voice assistant, global shortcut, assistant language |
| Usage & Limits | Current plan, monthly usage, rate limits |
| About | Version info, updates, resources, legal |
Some entries in the navigation are already visible but show "This section is not available yet." They are placeholders for work in progress. Everything they will eventually hold is currently reachable elsewhere — the table above says where.
Saving changes
The General, Models & Providers, and Assistant sections have a Save Changes button in the footer — changes there are applied when you click it. Toggles in Personalization are saved with its own Save Changes button. Actions in Data & Storage and Sync with mobile run immediately when clicked.
Closing Settings
Click the × button in the top-right corner of the content area, press Escape, or use Cancel / Done in the footer.
