Settings: Preferences

Preferences are personal choices for how Row-Bot should address you, how it should behave at launch, and which background features should be active.

Settings: Preferences in Row-Bot.
The Preferences tab controls user identity, assistant personality, launch behavior, background intelligence, updates, and migration helpers.

Where To Find It​

Open Settings, then choose Preferences from the left tab list.

Controls​

  • Name helps Row-Bot address you naturally.
  • Personality changes the assistant's default tone.
  • Launch and window preferences decide how the app opens.
  • Background intelligence controls affect optional automatic review or organization features.
  • Dream cycle timing controls when background organization may run.
  • Update controls decide how Row-Bot checks or reports available versions.
  • Migration helpers support users moving from earlier app data.

Common Workflow​

  1. Set your name and preferred assistant tone first.
  2. Choose a launch mode that fits how you use the desktop app.
  3. Enable background features only when you want Row-Bot organizing or reviewing local data outside direct chat turns.
  4. Use migration helpers only when moving from an older installation or renamed data set.

What Is Saved​

Preferences are global local settings. They affect new chats and app behavior, while existing threads can still have their own model, profile, or approval choices.

Privacy And Safety​

Review credential, account, channel, provider, or tool settings before enabling features that can contact outside services. Local-only features stay on your machine until you ask Row-Bot to use a provider, account, channel, MCP server, plugin, or tool that sends data elsewhere.

Control-Level Reference​

The generated Settings Controls reference lists the visible controls found in the current application source, including defaults, allowed values when they are declared inline, dependencies, restart notes, security notes, and source locations.

Troubleshooting​

  • If the app opens unexpectedly, adjust launch preferences and restart.
  • If background activity appears in Monitor, review Preferences and Knowledge settings.
  • If migration looks incomplete, do not delete old data until you confirm the new app has what you need.
