How to customize LOS settings¶
What this is for¶
The Settings page groups account, planning, data organization, module visibility, appearance, notifications, data backup and subscription settings. Each section is saved separately.
How to get there¶
Click Settings in the side menu or in the user menu (avatar in the top
right corner, address /settings).
Step by step¶
- Choose a section in the side rail: Account & profile, Planning, Organization, Modules, Dashboard & Today, Appearance, Notifications, Data or Subscription & payments.
- Make changes in the section's form.
- Confirm with Save changes; the status next to it shows Unsaved changes or Saved. Cancel discards unsaved changes.
- If you try to leave the page with unsaved changes, the app asks for confirmation.
- You can run the first-time setup again with the Open setup button (Set up LOS) — see first-run setup wizard.
Fields and options¶
| Section | What you set |
|---|---|
| Account & profile | Avatar, bio, Nickname, first name for greetings, e-mail and password changes, Show me in Society, sign-out and account deletion. |
| Planning | Time zone, First day of the week, default Duration / Priority / Project for new tasks, Focus completion, Time off, Work hours with workdays, Sleep hours, Parts of the day and default workout colors. |
| Organization | Cleaning categories with icons, project and habit categories, and Task names (emoji and names of tasks created from modules). |
| Modules, Dashboard & Today | Order of dashboard sections and Today panels (see dashboard customization), the number of Up next tasks (1–7), module switches in the menu, the note on Today and quotes. |
| Appearance | Accent Color from a list and your own task color palette. |
| Notifications | Task start alert with 0–120 minutes lead time, browser and device (push) notifications, focus timer sound, unread message counter. |
| Data | Export Data, Restore backup and Advanced import — details in importing and exporting data. |
| Subscription & payments | Plan, payments and invoices — see plan and payments. |
Common mistakes / pitfalls¶
- Save changes saves only the current section; changes in another section must be saved separately.
- Unsaved working changes are hinted at when you return to the page — the draft lives in this browser for up to 24 hours and does not contain passwords.
- On a settings conflict (changes on another device) you will see Reload and review draft.
- Turning off a module in Panels hides it from the menu without deleting data; turning off a whole group hides the group too.
- Changing emoji and names in Task names affects only tasks added from now on.
- Work and sleep hours and Parts of the day are independent settings — splitting the day does not change work hours.
