Settings and storage

Settings controls appearance, the default profile, where chats run, model lifecycle and storage, downloads, notifications, history, tool permissions, personalization, and what left this computer. Finding other computers and the external server are on the Computers page, and connected services are on the Tools page. The sidebar groups pages into Use (Chat, Automations, Knowledge, Memory), Customize (Models, Tools, Profiles & Orchestration), and Administer (Train, Computers, API Access, Performance, Diagnostics), with Settings at the bottom. Administer is closed until you open it. Advanced mode shows expert controls inside pages: editing profiles, per-tool permissions, and run details under answers. Desktop settings also keep Toskar running in the background and launch it at login. Saving an automation's schedule turns on Keep running in background, because schedules stop when the daemon stops.

Personalization shapes how answers look in every chat, automation, and API request: length (brief, balanced, or detailed), tone (friendly, neutral, or direct), format (prose or lists), units (metric or imperial), and two short notes, about you and how to answer. It never changes what tools may do.

Default data locations are ~/Library/Application Support/Toskar on macOS, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Toskar on Windows, and ~/.local/share/toskar on Linux. An install from before the rename keeps its Yggdrasil folder (yggdrasil on Linux), and nothing is moved. Settings shows the actual data, model, runtime, and log directories. SQLite state, model files, and runtime files live under the data tree.

Before replacing an installation or resetting the app, stop the app and daemon and back up the data directory if you need its state. Review the reset dialog carefully. Install updates from the matching release archive and restart the app.
