This page is a map of what you can adjust in Sonto. Open Settings from the Sonto menu on Mac, or the settings entry on iPhone. Settings are specific to each device — they don’t sync.

​
General

  • Sync status — see whether iCloud sync is healthy, in progress, or stalled. See Sync.
  • App appearance, including dark mode (which can follow your system setting).

​
Tasks

  • Global hotkeys — two custom, system-wide hotkeys for adding a task to your inbox or to today, even when Sonto is in the background. See Quick capture.

​
Calendar

  • Calendar access — grant Sonto access to your device’s calendars, and choose which to show. See Calendar.
  • Working hours — the hours Sonto treats as available when it auto-schedules a task.
  • Default event duration — the length of a time block Sonto creates (30 minutes by default).

​
Planning

  • Planning reminders — when Sonto nudges you to plan your day and week, as both an in-app prompt and a system notification. See Notifications & Reminders.

​
AI

  • MCP server — connect AI tools to Sonto, with read-only or read-and-write access. See Connect to AI Agents.

​
Backups

Automatic and manual backups live in the Manage Data window rather than Settings. See Manage Data.

​
Availability

Settings exist on both Mac and iPhone, but some options — global hotkeys, working hours, the MCP server, and Manage Data — are Mac-only.
