Account settings
Manage your profile, notifications, API keys, and data.
Your account settings control three things: how you appear across Naumu, when Naumu reaches out to you, and how other tools connect on your behalf. Open them from the settings menu. Most changes save automatically as you make them.
Profile
Your profile is your identity across every space - a single workspace with its own memory, chat, and members. It has three parts:
- Profile photo - drag and drop an image onto the avatar, or select Change Photo. JPG, PNG, and GIF files are accepted, up to 5MB.
- Name - select your name to edit it in place, then confirm. This is the name teammates see on your messages and in member lists.
- Email - shown for reference only. It is tied to how you sign in, so you cannot edit it here.
Notifications
Notification preferences decide what reaches you and through which channel. They are personal to you and apply across all your spaces.
- Browser push - get notified even when Naumu is running in the background. Your browser asks for permission the first time. If you blocked it, re-enable notifications in your browser settings.
- In-app level - choose what you are notified about: All messages in threads you take part in, only Mentions of you, Nothing, or Custom keywords you define.
- Sounds - turn message sounds on or off. You can set them separately for the thread you are reading and for other threads, and preview each one first.
- Mobile in-app toast - on mobile, show a brief banner when a chat, note, canvas, or view you participate in has new activity.
Email notifications
A master switch turns all Naumu email on or off. With it on, you can choose each category individually:
| Category | What it sends |
|---|---|
| @mentions | When someone tags you and you haven't caught up |
| Weekly digest | An activity summary every Friday |
| Product updates | A note when we ship new features |
| Helpful tips | Occasional onboarding and re-engagement nudges |
| Marketing | Promotions and announcements |
@mention email is a catch-up nudge, not a live feed. Naumu waits about half an hour before it counts something as missed, so if you open the thread in the meantime, no email goes out at all. What still counts: being tagged by name, a broadcast tag to everyone in the space, being added to a thread, and new messages in a one-to-one conversation. Anything older than a day stops nudging.
When something is genuinely waiting for you, Naumu bundles it: at most one email an hour, covering up to ten conversations. Anything over that carries into the next one.
Some email is always transactional and ignores these settings. Space invitations are delivered no matter what, so you can always accept an invite. And @mention email is managed in-app, not through an unsubscribe link in the email footer.
API keys
An API key is a secret credential that lets an external tool act in Naumu as you, over the Naumu MCP server (short for Model Context Protocol, the standard that lets clients reach your spaces). API keys are for CI jobs, bots, and clients without OAuth support. Interactive coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex sign in through your browser instead and need no key at all - see Local MCP. To have an outside system trigger an agent inside a space, see Inbound webhooks.
To create a key:
- Open Settings → Your agents and select Create an API key.
- Give it a recognizable name, such as the tool it is for.
- Copy the key right away. It is shown only once and cannot be retrieved later.
Each key lists its name, a short prefix to help you identify it, and when it was created and last used. To revoke a key, select the delete icon. It stops working at once, and any tool using it loses access. Revoking cannot be undone, so if you think a key has been exposed, issue a fresh one rather than reusing it.
Use a separate key for each tool. That way, if one leaks, you can revoke just that key without disrupting the others. See Local MCP for when a coding tool needs a key versus browser sign-in.
Appearance
Choose a theme for Naumu: Light, Dark, or System, which follows your operating system's setting. Each option shows a small preview, and the change applies immediately.
Shortcuts
The Shortcuts tab covers composer behavior and keyboard bindings. At the top is an interactive keyboard graphic that shows your current bindings. Hold a modifier key - Cmd, Shift, Alt, or Ctrl - to preview that layer and see how the bindings change, and hover any key to see the command bound to it.
Click a key to open its binding editor, where you can change what it does. The editor shows which keys are already taken versus free, and warns you when a new binding would conflict with an existing command.
Navigation shortcuts live here too, so you can rebind them the same way - Cmd+1 through Cmd+9 switch to the first nine spaces in your rail, for example (see Spaces). On Windows and Linux, a shortcut shown with Cmd on a Mac is the Ctrl key, and the keyboard graphic labels it that way.
Custom emoji
Custom emoji belong to a space, not to your account, so everyone in the space shares the same set. That is why you manage them in a space's settings rather than here.
To add one, open the space's settings, upload a PNG, GIF, or JPEG file (up to 128KB), and give it a lowercase name. It then appears in the emoji picker and in :name: shortcuts for everyone in that space.
Data and account
- Reset onboarding - replay the welcome overlays and checklists from the start. Nothing else changes.
- Sign out - log out of your account on this device.
- Delete account - permanently remove your account and all your data. This cannot be undone, and you may be asked to resolve any paid spaces you own first.
Deleting your account is irreversible. Before you delete, export a backup of any space you want to keep - see Spaces.
