Appearance, sounds and reminders

Appearance, sounds and reminders — on a laptop
Appearance, sounds and reminders — on a laptop

All of this lives under Settings on your Account page, and every change applies immediately — nothing needs saving except your display name.

Theme

Four choices, not a switch: System, Light, Dark and Simple (a flat, minimal skin). System follows your device, so the app goes dark when your phone does.

Your choice follows your account, not the browser — set dark on your laptop and your phone matches. The reader has the same control in its own page settings, and the two can never disagree because they are the same setting.

Display name

How we greet you on your dashboard. Set it and press Save.

Sounds and pop-ups

  • In-app sounds — plays during study sessions. On by default.
  • Show points pop-ups — celebrates points you earn during a session. On by default.
  • Play my daily voice briefing automatically (premium) — plays the day's voice briefing when you open your dashboard, instead of waiting for you to press play. Off by default.

Turn both off if you study somewhere quiet or you find the animation distracting. Neither affects what you earn.

Study reminders

  • Study reminders — a calm daily heads-up when reviews are due: what is waiting, and how long it will take.
  • Reminder channelOff, In-app, Push or Email.
  • Preferred time — we only nudge within an hour of it. Auto picks a sensible daytime hour.

Streak freezes

Protect my streak with earned freezes. Freezes are earned by studying, and one quietly covers a single missed day. Leave it on and an occasional missed day will not reset you; turn it off if you would rather the streak be literal. See "My progress or streak looks wrong".

Replaying the tour

Replay product tour → at the foot of Settings restarts the five-step tour on your dashboard, whatever pass you are on.
