Settings at a glance

Settings holds Waycar’s app-wide choices: your plan, how the Console and terminal look, notifications, sync, and support. A Host’s connection, backend, mosh and AI Usage options live on that Host’s page instead. See A Host’s page and checks.

Open Settings

• From the Console: tap Settings in the bottom bar.
• Before you add a Host: the bottom bar is hidden, so tap the gear beside Add Your First Host.
• With a keyboard: press ⌘, (the Settings… command). See Keyboard shortcuts.

Tap Done to close Settings.
