Settings Overview

Access Cadeo settings by clicking Settings (the gear icon) in the sidebar.

The sidebar shows the name of each place beside its icon. Click ‹ at the bottom to fold it down to icons only, and › to bring the names back — Cadeo remembers your choice on this device. In a narrow window it shows icons only. Settings are organized into nine tabs, grouped so each tab has one clear job.

Settings overview

General​

Foundational behaviour and shortcuts:

  • Getting Started — re-open the onboarding checklist
  • Time & Date — 12/24-hour time, working hours, default task duration
  • Navigation — reorder, enable, or disable sidebar items
  • Menu Bar — menu-bar app configuration (desktop only)
  • Keyboard Shortcuts — view and customise all shortcuts

Appearance​

How Cadeo looks and the defaults that frame your day:

  • Theme / Dark Mode — light, dark, or system-matched
  • Landing View — where Cadeo opens: Where I left off (the default: the same view, and the project or area you had open) or a view you choose
  • Startup — launch at login (desktop only)
  • Display — modal vs. fullscreen sizing per content type (project, task, event, note)

Integrations​

Connect Cadeo with your other tools:

  • Slack — create tasks from messages with the "Send to Cadeo" shortcut
  • Email to Task — copy your unique forwarding address; emails sent there land in your Inbox
  • Apple Reminders — import reminders as tasks (desktop only)
  • AI agent access (MCP) — create an access token so an external AI assistant can read and act on this workspace

Calendar​

Connect your calendars and control how they appear:

  • Connected Google Accounts — add Google accounts to view their calendars in Cadeo
  • Apple Calendar — view native macOS calendar events (desktop only)
  • Calendar Display — show or hide all-day events on the planner, and hide declined meetings (meetings you've responded "No" to) from your planner, calendar views, and the menu bar — including their pre-meeting alerts. Off by default.
  • Visible Calendars — per-account collapsible dropdown, toggle which calendars appear on your timeline
  • Primary Calendar — where new events get created
  • Task Sync — put timed tasks on your Primary Calendar: Google, or Apple Calendar on the Mac
  • Calendar Areas — map calendars to areas so events inherit the right area automatically

Notifications​

How and when Cadeo gets your attention:

  • Channels — in-app, push, email
  • Notify Me About — granular per-event-type matrix (mentions, comments, calendar, AI, etc.)
  • Quiet Hours — suppress push and email during set hours
  • End of Day Reflection — daily wrap-up sheet, follows working hours by default

Workspace​

People and identity for collaborative use:

  • Workspace Name — rename your workspace
  • Members — invite colleagues, manage access
  • Pending Invitations — re-send or revoke

Recording & AI​

Recording capture and the models that turn it into useful artefacts:

  • Recording Settings — microphone, transcription method, storage
  • AI Models — primary and fast models for completion
  • Cloud AI — fallback to managed Cadeo AI when local models can't keep up
  • Data & Privacy — what stays on-device, what goes to the cloud

Billing​

Manage your subscription:

  • Current Plan & Usage — see what's included and what you've used this month
  • Plans — upgrade, downgrade, or change billing cycle

Account​

Identity, support, and the danger zone:

  • Support Info — email, workspace name, copy a support bundle for the team
  • Help & Support — links to this site and contact options
  • Sign Out — log out of Cadeo
  • Delete Account — permanently delete your account and all data. You'll be asked to type DELETE to confirm. This works the same whether you signed up with email, Google, or Apple — no password is required.
