Settings

Every settings panel and what lives in it.

General

Panel Holds
About The build you are running, and updates
AI Which assistant is active, models, automation
Vaults The vaults you have opened

Changing the assistant here also renames the per-folder context files — see Folder context.

Design

Panel Holds
Appearance Theme and text size
Left sidebar Tree sorting and grouping, icon overrides, hidden files
Center panel The editor area
Right sidebar The chat panel

Integrations

Git — the repository behind the vault. See Git.

Other

Panel Holds
Hotkeys Every shortcut, for your platform
Diagnostics Crash reporting and usage reporting

The settings dialog has its own search. Typing what you want is usually faster than remembering which of the four groups it is in — and the command palette reaches settings pages too.

Where settings are stored

Per-vault settings are in .mindex/settings.json inside the vault. Settings that belong to the installation — theme, zoom, the recent vault list, which assistant is active — stay with the app.
