DocsSettings
Settings
Open Settings from the profile row at the bottom of the sidebar. Eight tabs, each small and focused.

General
Your default shell. Kadro ADE detects the shells on your system and shows which one new panes will use; pick another, or choose Custom path… for one it didn’t find (say, /opt/homebrew/bin/fish). The change applies to new workspaces — existing ones keep the shell they started with. General also holds small sidebar preferences, like ordering workspaces by most recent.
Account
Who’s signed in and what plan they’re on. A status card shows your email and last sync, with Sync (refresh your plan from the website — useful right after subscribing) and Sign out. The plan card shows Pro state — an active subscription shows when it renews — with a link to billing on kadrotools.ai when something needs attention.
Usage
Per-provider usage meters for the agent accounts you run — session and weekly, with reset timers. The same meters live in the status bar at the bottom of every workspace, so you rarely need this tab; it’s the detailed view.
Dictation
Voice input. Configure dictation and speak prompts into the focused pane instead of typing them — the microphone control sits in the top bar.
Appearance
Seven themes, each shown as a live mini-preview. They differ by ink undertone rather than loud accent colors:
- Slate — cool gray, muted steel accent — the default
- Graphite — true neutral, paper-white accent
- Onyx — deepest black, crispest white — high contrast
- Pewter — lifted warm gray — the one light-leaning theme
- Tungsten — warm-neutral — warmth without color
- Mist — sky-tinted, soft blue accent
- Harbor — navy ink, desaturated cyan accent
Themes restyle everything, terminals included, so agent TUIs match the app instead of clashing with it.
Providers
One card per agent CLI, answering one question: is it installed? Missing CLIs show a copyable install command and a docs link. ADE only checks that the command exists — sign-in, models, and API keys all stay inside each agent’s own pane. More in Agents & launchers.
Keybindings
Every command in the app, grouped by scope, each with an editable shortcut field. The default binding shows as the placeholder, so you always know what you changed; a reset button puts any row back. Anything you bind here also shows next to the action in the command palette.
Privacy
One switch: crash diagnostics, off by default. Until you turn it on, nothing leaves your machine. Turn it on and anonymized crash reports help us fix what broke; turn it off and reporting stops. Details in the privacy policy.
