Your account and preferences

The You group of Settings holds what belongs to you rather than to a workspace. It follows you into every workspace you belong to. To open Settings, press Settings at the bottom of the sidebar, then Settings in its menu, or press ⌘, (Ctrl+, on Windows and Linux).

Settings lists You first, then Workspace, with the sections of one workspace at a time:

GroupSections
YouAccount, Security when shown, AI Providers, Skills, Plugins, Integrations, API keys, Devices, Appearance, Preferences, Signature, and Memory
WorkspaceGeneral, Members, AI Providers, Skills, Plugins, Integrations, Activity, Usage, Billing

The workspace picker under Workspace shows the workspace's tile and name. Press it for a list with a search field, every workspace you belong to, your waiting Invitations with Join, and New workspace. The current workspace has a check. Picking another workspace keeps the section you are on, or opens General when you were in a You section. The address keeps the workspace you picked.

In the phone layout, on an iPhone or in a narrow window, Signature sits after Preferences in the You group. Open it to change the same default and see the previews. See Desktop app and mobile.

Shift+Tab steps through the You sections, then the picked workspace's, and back to the start.

These pages write a workspace's section as Settings > your workspace > Members. The You group also holds AI Providers, Skills, Plugins and Integrations, each on its own page. Settings > You > Preferences holds Notifications from Sensei for the device you are on.

Account​

Settings > You > Account holds your profile. Your GitHub Connection is in Settings > You > Integrations.

To change your picture:

  1. Press Change Picture and pick a JPG, PNG or WebP image up to 2 MB.
  2. In Adjust profile picture, crop and zoom the image.
  3. Press Save.

To change your name, edit Name and press Save Changes. Email Address shows the address you sign in with, and you cannot change it here.

Delete your account​

  1. Under Danger Zone, press Delete account.
  2. Type your email address and press Delete account.

This deletes your account, your API keys, your GitHub Connection, your own integrations and every card you published from an Overview. Any workspace where you are the only member is deleted too, with its projects and tasks. The dialog names those workspaces before you confirm. It cannot be undone.

If you signed in with Apple, Sensei also revokes its access to your Apple Account. To be sure, remove Sensei from Sign in with Apple in your Apple Account settings.

Sensei refuses while you own a workspace that has other members. Transfer ownership to another member, or delete that workspace, first. See Members and roles. It also refuses while a workspace it would delete has an unpaid invoice or usage still being billed.

Appearance​

Settings > You > Appearance offers Light, Dark and System. Sensei starts in Dark. System follows your computer's setting.

Preferences​

Settings > You > Preferences holds FYI messages and Notifications from Sensei. On a phone, Preferences holds FYI messages.

PreferenceChoicesDefaultWhat it does
FYI messagesRight away, Every 30 min, Every hour, Twice a dayEvery 30 minMessages that need nothing from you wait, then reach you together on one FYI card. FYIs never send a notification.

No setting changes how agents write to you. Your Sensei fits its explanations to your background and to the topic: it reads what it knows about you from your Memory. Agents in chat sessions and deploy chats write for developers.

Notifications from Sensei​

Turn Notifications from Sensei on for a notification on this device when a card needs you. FYIs stay on the page. If your browser blocks notifications, allow them in its site settings. A browser without notification support shows a disabled switch.

Signature​

Settings > You > Signature holds Sign as Sensei. It is on by default and follows you across workspaces. While it is on, messages Sensei sends as you end with a marker: [Sensei] on its own line after a blank line in Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram and LinkedIn, or Sent by Sensei in Gmail. Turn it off to send them as written.

The Preview section shows a Slack message and a Gmail email. Both change as you move the switch. If saving fails, the switch returns to its previous value and Try again retries the change.

A reply card has its own Sign as Sensei switch under Your reply, starting from your saved default. Change it for that reply without changing Settings. The draft shows the marker that Send will include.

API keys​

Create API keys for the Sensei CLI, the MCP server and the API in Settings > You > API keys. Authentication explains how.

The same section lists your Connected Apps under Connected apps. These are the AI apps, such as Claude or ChatGPT, that you allowed to act as you through the MCP server. Press Disconnect to cut one off. Its next call is refused.

Devices​

Settings > You > Devices lists everything signed in as you that Sensei can cut off: your Macs, your iPhones and iPads, then your Watch and glasses. Press Remove on one to sign it out. It shows in the iOS app too, under Devices in Settings.

Macs lists each Mac with the Sensei desktop app signed in. A Mac that has never signed in, or that you removed, is not listed. Each row shows:

  • The name of the Mac, and This Mac on the Mac you are looking from in the desktop app.
  • A status: Online while the Mac is connected and Sensei can use it, In use by Sensei while Sensei is working on it, In use by a task while a task you allowed is working on it, and Offline otherwise. The list keeps itself current while it is open.
  • The version of the desktop app, when the Mac was added if it is online, or when it was last seen if it is offline, and "not connected yet" for a Mac that never connected.
  • Whether the Mac allowed Accessibility and Screen Recording. A permission it has not allowed is named, and Sensei cannot use the tools that need it.

Press Remove and confirm to remove a Mac. Sensei stops using it at once. The desktop app on that Mac is signed out and shows sign-in. Signing in again on that Mac adds it back to the list.

Removing the Mac you are on also signs you out of the desktop app on it. Signing in again adds it back.

iPhone and iPad lists each iPhone and iPad where the Sensei iOS app is signed in and allowed notifications. Each row shows This iPhone or This iPad on the one you are using, the version of the app and when it was last used. Remove stops its notifications at once and ends its sign-in, with no confirmation. The app on it can still show what it already loaded for up to 5 minutes. Sensei also asks that iPhone or iPad to take down your most recent Sensei notifications from its lock screen and Notification Center. It sends this request only to the device you removed, never to your other devices. This is best effort, not a remote wipe: iOS can delay or drop the request, and an iPhone or iPad that is off or offline, or where the app was swiped closed, can keep showing them. Remove does not erase anything else on the device. Removing the iPhone or iPad you are on asks first, then signs you out of the iOS app. Signing in again adds it back.

Watch and glasses lists the ones you signed in with a code from your Sensei account, with when each was last used. Remove signs one out at once, with no confirmation. Signing in on it again adds it back.

If a remove fails, a message says so and the row stays. Press Remove again.

Chrome sign-ins​

Sensei browses in the background in its own Chrome on your Mac, with no window. It uses the website sign-ins of the Chrome profiles you allow. Your Chrome stays yours. Sensei's tabs don't appear in it, and Sensei doesn't move your tabs or mouse. Recordings in a thread show Sensei's pages, not your screen. Both browsers act on the same online accounts, so a message Sensei sends is sent from your account. Sensei uses any site this way, LinkedIn and X included. Before it sends, posts or does anything else on a site for you, it checks the signed-in account, the recipient and the exact content against what you asked for, and afterwards it checks the page before it says it worked.

Press Chrome sign-ins on a Mac to choose the profiles Sensei may use. On a phone, the Mac's Chrome sign-ins row shows how many are allowed. The Mac must be online, with a current desktop app and Google Chrome installed. Otherwise the screen says which one is missing.

Every Chrome profile on the Mac is listed, including the ones Sensei has never used. Each has a switch.

  • Allowed lets Sensei use the profile. It doesn't mean every site is signed in. Sensei checks a site when it opens it.
  • Off means Sensei can't use the profile. Turning a profile off asks first. Sensei stops browsing with it, and Sensei deletes the sign-ins Sensei saved from it on that Mac. Your Chrome stays signed in.

A profile is allowed until you turn it off, and it stays off until you allow it again. When you allow it, Sensei takes its sign-ins from your Chrome the next time it browses with it.

When Sensei's browser is signed out of a site that your Chrome is signed in to, Sensei picks the sign-in up from your Chrome on that profile by itself, without opening Chrome, and checks the account in its own browser before it goes on. You see one line, such as "Signed in to LinkedIn as Ada", and no card. If the account is not the one the thread used, Sensei removes it again and asks whether to continue as that account.

A card appears only when that is not enough, for example because your Chrome is not signed in to the site. Press Sign in with Chrome on it. The site opens in your Chrome on the Mac, where you sign in as usual, with Google, a passkey or a saved password. Sensei notices the sign-in by itself, on any site. A change on the site in your Chrome only makes Sensei look at the site in its own browser, so it keeps waiting until it sees you signed in. Once it does, it checks the account there and goes on. If Sensei can't confirm the sign-in by itself, it says so and a second card appears. Press I'm signed in on it once you are signed in. Sensei then checks the account again. Google's own sites, such as Gmail and YouTube, get no card. When a site only refuses access, with no sign-in page, Sensei tells you what the page shows and asks for no sign-in.

Signing out of a site in your Chrome may also sign Sensei out of it. If a change fails, a message says so and the profile stays as it was.

Security​

When your Settings show a Security section, it holds Cookie Preferences. Press Manage to choose which analytics and tracking cookies Sensei may set.
