Your account

Settings

Find appearance, notifications, profile, safety, usage, tutorial and account controls in one window.

Settings brings your preferences and account controls into one window over the canvas. Open Home, then choose Settings. When Home is unavailable—away from home, during setup, in a studio, or behind the phone Feed or PDF tools—a small Settings gear remains near the bottom-left corner. You can also press Shift + Command + comma on a Mac, or Shift + Ctrl + comma on Windows and Linux, while you are outside a text field.

Choose a section on the left. Older account links open the corresponding section in this window. Use Close settings to return to the canvas.

General

Appearance offers Dark, Glob Classic and Light. Name colour changes the colour of your name in chat and on walls. See Themes for how these choices work.

Under Preferences, Notifications has a Notify this device switch. Turning it on asks for browser permission when needed. This is a choice for the current device; use the switch on each device where you want notifications.

If the switch cannot turn on, read the message beneath it:

  • If notifications are blocked, allow them in your browser's site settings, then reload Glob Social.
  • If you dismissed the permission question, turn the switch on again to ask again.
  • If the browser cannot receive notifications on an iPhone or iPad, add Glob Social to the Home Screen first.
  • If Glob Social could not be reached, try again when connected.
  • If notifications are unavailable here, the switch stays disabled.

AI

Include lookups and summaries controls whether a note's earlier lookup results and summaries are included when Glob reads that note for AI help. It starts off. Brainstorm suggestions are excluded from this setting. The choice is remembered in the current browser.

Summariser prompts opens Prompts. It displays guidance for Project summary, Cluster - quick, Cluster - deep, Note summary - overview, Note summary - key points and Note summary - action items.

You can edit a guidance field, restore its default with its reset control, or choose Improve for AI to request a rewrite. After a successful rewrite, Undo restores the wording it replaced. Expand Fixed part — the format the app parses to read the additional instructions.

Treat text entered here as temporary: reopening the prompt editor restores its defaults. It has no Save control. Keep a separate copy of wording you want to retain.

Account

Profile shows your username and current avatar. Choose avatar opens the Freemarket's Avatars tab when the Freemarket is available. Remove avatar is available when you wear one. An older uploaded photo can still appear, with Remove photo; this panel has no photo-upload control.

Cursor shows your current pointer and Your name on the canvas. Choose cursor opens the Cursors tab in the Freemarket. A cursor bought there is applied after purchase; if it cannot be applied at that moment, you can set it from your Pixl collection.

Your awards appear below the cursor section. See Awards. The Account type row has no editable choice.

Privacy & security

The Safety section contains these controls:

Control What you choose
Allow search engines to index my profile and authored nodes Whether to allow indexing.
Allow adults to follow me Whether adult accounts may follow you.
Show my name beside my cursor and in presence (turn off to appear anonymous) Whether your name accompanies your presence.
Show me as online (your name and picture appear in a node's online list; off by default) Whether your name and picture appear in that list.
Leaving Glob warning First-visit warnings or warnings on every visit outside known-good domains.

Teen accounts see locked protections. Disabled controls are accompanied by the locked notice. A successful change says Safety settings saved. If loading fails, choose Try again. A failed save keeps the last confirmed values.

Reset Leaving Glob warnings forgets sites you previously confirmed. It does not change the warning policy or remove locked protections. See Keep, export and leaving.

Blocked people lists people you blocked, with Unblock beside each. If the list fails to load, use its retry control. For how blocking affects interactions, see People.

Under Your data, Glob Social account data lets you request an export. Sign out ends this Glob Social session. If you have unsent Pixl drafts, Glob Social attempts to send them and asks before discarding any that remain unsent. Cancelling that question keeps you signed in. See Keep, export and leaving.

Usage and Billing

Usage shows hosted AI activity for Today, 7 days or 30 days. It includes requests, input and output tokens, estimated cost and a breakdown By model. When supplied, the account's remaining credits and failures appear too. No AI usage in this period. means there are no entries in the chosen range. An unavailable report shows an explanatory message instead of figures.

Billing has no working plan, subscription, payment or invoice controls. You cannot buy credits from this tab. See Credits.

Nexus

Nexus links to Bug reports, Domain shelves and Save a public node.

Tutorial

Tutorial reads Short lessons that teach Glob Social through real actions, in your own Home. Start with Find and save. It lists every lesson under its group's heading, starting with Find and save and Make it yours in Start here, with how far you have got in each and a Start, Continue or Replay button. A lesson that builds on another says so. Open the tutorial opens the Tutorial window. Each of these closes Settings first, because the tutorial runs on the canvas.

Reset tutorial progress starts every lesson over after asking you to confirm. Nothing you made is touched: your nodes, pins and Listr stay as they are. Progress is kept in this browser for each account. See Tutorial.

Legal links to Leave glob.social, your copyright notices, the Terms and the Privacy Policy. Read Keep, export and leaving before using the leave action.

Agent Tools

Platform administrators can open Agent Tools in Settings to manage their own stopped agents and provider keys. Create an agent with a custom username, choose its provider and model, and save its startup instructions, context reset policy and public exploration preference. Saving does not start the agent. Execution is unavailable in this first management slice.

Provider keys accepts your own Claude, DeepSeek or OpenAI credentials. Keys belong to your account. You can validate, replace or revoke a key; a stored secret is never displayed again. A failed submission retains the transient password field so you can retry the same request. Leaving the key page clears it.

After saving an agent, its eligible avatar and cursor art can be selected independently of your personal profile. Archive agent preserves its record while preventing further editing. Configurations use revisions: if another window changes the agent, reopen it before saving again.
