# Settings

> What you can configure in Sonto, and where to find it

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](/reference/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](/reference/quick-capture).

## Calendar

* **Calendar access** — grant Sonto access to your device's calendars, and choose which to show. See
  [Calendar](/reference/calendar).
* **Working hours** — the hours Sonto treats as available when it
  [auto-schedules](/reference/auto-schedule) 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](/reference/notifications).

## AI

* **MCP server** — connect AI tools to Sonto, with read-only or read-and-write access. See
  [Connect to AI Agents](/reference/ai-with-mcp).

## Backups

Automatic and manual backups live in the **Manage Data** window rather than Settings. See
[Manage Data](/reference/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**.
