Open Settings with Mod+,. Settings is organized into ten in-page sections plus links to Billing and Key Chain.

​
Workspace

Workspace settings include a configurable new-chat accelerator inside Studio and optional global shortcuts that work from another application.
  • New Chat can be registered globally, but is disabled by default so Studio does not take another application’s New shortcut.
  • New Chat (with App Context) starts a prompt with the foreground application, a screenshot, and Computer Use context.
  • Choose condensed or full tab titles.
  • Highlight tabs with unsaved changes.
  • Enable splitting by dragging a tab to an editor edge.
  • Show or hide the status bar and control its behavior in focused layouts.
Use a global app-context shortcut carefully: it captures the foreground application and screen state into a new Studio prompt.

​
Profile

The connect-your-accounts card lists organization integrations that require your personal credential. Use its action to complete OAuth or create the required private Key Chain entry. The Profile card shows your organization member context and preloaded tools. If context policy is Self-edit, you can update your description. If it is Admin-managed, ask an organization admin to change it. Preloaded tools appear at the start of new conversations but remain subject to organization and channel policy.

​
Appearance

Choose light, dark, or system mode; apply a preset or custom theme; tune contrast; and set UI and code font sizes. Themes can be imported, exported, and reset. Test custom themes in terminals, approvals, alerts, tables, and a screen share. A theme that looks good in an editor may still hide a warning state.

​
Terminal

Terminal settings cover rendering, selection and paste behavior, scrollback, connection behavior, recording, reconnection, AI helpers, safety, quake mode, and keyword highlighting. Keep team-critical safety and recording expectations documented. Terminal settings are personal, so another operator may not have the same paste warning, history, or visual rules.

​
AI

Changing region resets per-conversation prompt cache. The next turn pays the full input once. Cape Town keeps OCR and voice local to the region but routes Claude chat, titles, summaries, and vision through Frankfurt when the selected Claude model is unavailable locally.
Autopilot is a high-trust permission, not a performance setting. Leave it off unless the target and external effects are bounded and verified.

​
Computer Use

On macOS, grant Screen Recording so Studio can observe the desktop and Accessibility so approved actions can move the pointer and type. Select Re-check after a change and restart Studio if macOS retains the old state. See Browser and Computer Use for the approval and takeover model.

​
Audio Use

Grant microphone access for your side of a call and system-audio access for remote speakers or application output.
  • macOS labels system audio as System Audio / Screen Recording.
  • Windows may require Stereo Mix or a virtual audio device; use Sound settings from Studio.
  • Select Re-check after changing OS privacy settings.

​
Calls

  • Open call workspace automatically opens controls, transcript, and live diagnostics after a call connects.
  • Transcribe calls by default starts real-time transcription when the connected call workspace opens.
Both can be overridden manually during a call.

​
Firmware staging

Firmware staging runs a local TFTP server from a selected root directory. Choose the root, port, and run state, then monitor transfers.
TFTP has no authentication. While it runs, devices on the reachable LAN can read files inside the selected root. Studio binds to a private RFC 1918 address and rejects path traversal, but you must still use a dedicated directory and stop the server after the transfer.
Windows defaults to UDP port 69. macOS and Linux-like environments default to 6969 because ports below 1024 normally require elevated privileges. Configure the device’s TFTP client to use the displayed port.

​
About and updates

About shows the installed version, platform, and updater state. Studio checks in the background and asks you to restart when an update is ready. Use the manual check before a maintenance window or when support requests the exact version.

​
Billing and Key Chain

Billing and Key Chain open as their own workspace destinations.
  • Billing covers Plan, Billing details, Payment methods, Tax IDs, and Invoices.
  • Key Chain stores personal credentials and supports organization-managed credential flows without exposing secrets in chat.
