Settings: System

System settings describe what the local app may access and how it runs on your machine. This is where you adjust the app window, workspace boundaries, shell behavior, browser automation, opt-in native Computer Use, tunnels, and diagnostics.

Settings: System in Row-Bot.
The System tab contains local runtime choices, workspace access, window mode, tunnels, and diagnostic controls.

Where To Find It​

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

Controls​

  • Workspace and filesystem controls define where Row-Bot may read or write when tools need local files.
  • Shell and command controls affect whether command-running tools are available and how approvals apply.
  • Browser controls affect page-reading and browser automation features.
  • Computer Use controls keep native application automation separate, off by default, and gated by platform readiness, telemetry disclosure, and a verified optional runtime.
  • Window mode chooses whether Row-Bot opens in its own app window, the system browser, or asks at launch.
  • Tunnel settings are for external callback use cases such as channels that need a public webhook URL.
  • Log and diagnostic controls help support troubleshooting without changing your model setup.

Common Workflow​

  1. Keep workspace access narrow for everyday use.
  2. Enable shell or browser automation only when you intend to use those tools.
  3. Enable Computer Use only on an interactive Windows or macOS desktop after reviewing its separate setup and safety guide.
  4. Use tunnels only for channels or integrations that explicitly require inbound webhooks.
  5. Collect logs from this tab when troubleshooting startup or provider issues.

What Is Saved​

System settings are global for the local app. Workspace files are not uploaded to Row-Bot; external providers may still receive content when a model or tool request sends it.

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 Row-Bot cannot read a file, check whether it is inside the allowed workspace.
  • If Computer Use is unavailable, open its setup card and follow the reported runtime or operating-system permission recovery step.
  • If a tunnel URL is unavailable, check the tunnel provider credentials and whether the tunnel is running.
  • If the app opens in the wrong place, change Window mode and restart Row-Bot.
