Settings

Use this page to find where a setting lives. Open Settings with Ctrl+,, from the bottom of the desktop sidebar, or from More in the mobile layout.

Lar Settings window with the Appearance page open. The list on the left groups pages under General, Current workspace, and Features.
Pages are grouped in the list on the left. Which pages appear depends on the platform; this is the desktop window.
PageWhat you configure
AccountYour display name, this workspace’s identity, the device identity behind sharing, and sign-in to a server account

Keyboard shortcutsEvery shortcut, with more than one binding per command and conflict warnings. See Keyboard shortcuts

On the iOS and Android apps, a Navigation page chooses which destinations sit in the floating navigation bar. It does not change the desktop sidebar.

PageWhat you configure
WorkspaceThe name you see in the workspace switcher
InvitesInvite people to this workspace and review requests to join. See Shared workspaces
MembersEveryone with access to a shared workspace, their role, and how many devices each has registered. See Shared workspaces
SecurityBrowser only: how the workspace unlocks (device unlock or a passphrase each session), your recovery code, and tips for keeping browser storage durable
Daily notesAutomatic creation, carrying over unfinished to-dos, and Task mirroring
SyncThis device only, Peer-to-peer, Cloud, or Self-hosted server; your devices and adding a new one; and on desktop, the media download policy
Backup & restoreExport the whole workspace, import a backup, and on desktop, restore local database backups and set up automatic export. See Backup & restore
ImportThe wizard for importing from other tools. See Import & export
PageWhat you configure
Task managementWhether Tasks gets its own place in the sidebar
Calendar feedsICS (iCalendar) subscriptions and, on desktop, connected calendar accounts
AI providerOn desktop: your provider key, web search, semantic search, and the activity log. In the browser and on mobile, AI runs through the server’s service instead. See AI assistant & actions
AI agents (MCP)Desktop only: let a local AI agent read the workspace over MCP (the Model Context Protocol)
Remote accessLet an approved device run read-only queries against this workspace through your account
Automation serviceWhether a runner is enrolled to run Workflows on the always-on automation service

Integrations lists the services Lar can connect to, such as Readwise, Telegram, and Kindle. Each connection has its own page covering credentials, the destination in your workspace, the background schedule, and the external host Lar contacts.

About Lar shows the version, runtime and storage diagnostics, and legal notices, with Export diagnostics and Report a bug. On desktop it also checks for updates.

The browser and mobile apps leave out pages the platform cannot support: your own AI provider key, AI agents (MCP), native file-path actions, and update controls. Security appears only in the browser. Phone-sized browser windows also hide Backup & restore. A missing page means the current platform cannot provide it; your data is still there.
