Settings

Open Settings with Mod+,, from the desktop sidebar, or from More on compact layouts. Pages are grouped by general preferences, the current workspace, features, integrations, and utilities.

The real Lar Settings window showing grouped navigation and Appearance controls.
Settings are capability-aware, so each platform exposes only the controls its host supports.
Page What you configure
Account Display name, server sign-in, local sharing identity, and account/device link state
Plan and hosted services Current entitlement or hosted-service subscription state
Appearance System/light/dark theme and supported visual style variants
Editor Body-editor behavior such as spellcheck, paste behavior, and typography
Language Interface language and number conventions
Date & Time Date/time display conventions independently of interface language
Keyboard shortcuts Global bindings, multiple bindings, and conflict resolution

Native mobile can also expose navigation arrangement settings. That setting does not rearrange the desktop/web Library sidebar.

Page What you configure
Workspace Name and workspace identity shown in the switcher
Daily Notes Automatic creation, carry-over behavior, Task mirroring, and related defaults
Sync Local, peer-to-peer, Cloud, or self-hosted transport; devices and media policy
Backup & restore Portable workspace export and restore
Import Import/migration wizard for supported external formats

Workspace deletion, Trash, and account deletion are distinct. Read every confirmation because destroying a local workspace key is not reversed by signing back into an account.

  • Task management controls whether Tasks has a dedicated application destination.
  • Calendar feeds configures ICS subscriptions and supported calendar accounts.
  • AI Provider manages desktop-only provider/model/API-key settings.

The integration overview lists available service adapters. Individual connections appear as their own Settings pages once discovered. Each page describes credentials, destination, background schedule, and the external host contacted.

About Lar shows version, runtime, storage diagnostics, encryption information, and update controls supported by the host. File-path reveal and auto-update controls are desktop-only.

Settings navigation is capability-gated. Web/mobile omit desktop AI key management, native file-path actions, and auto-update controls. A missing page can therefore mean the current host cannot provide it—not that the feature’s data disappeared.
