Settings

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

Updated 2026-06-12

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:

  • Slatecool gray, muted steel accent — the default
  • Graphitetrue neutral, paper-white accent
  • Onyxdeepest black, crispest white — high contrast
  • Pewterlifted warm gray — the one light-leaning theme
  • Tungstenwarm-neutral — warmth without color
  • Mistsky-tinted, soft blue accent
  • Harbornavy 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.
