  • •Advanced mode exposes MCP approvals, custom providers, and additional controls.
  • •The feedback link composes an email draft with environment details for support.
Model settings

Files & Backup
Control where chats, recordings, prompts, attachments, and extractions are stored.
  • •Defaults include folders like SystemSculpt/Chats, which you can customise at any time.
  • •The plugin creates missing folders on startup so exports never fail silently.

  • •The rebuild action refreshes vectors for the currently selected provider and model.
  • •Settings capture which provider and namespace fuel the Similar Notes panel.

  • •Custom endpoints let you route transcripts to your own API or local server.
  • •“Keep recordings after transcription” leaves .wav files in your recordings folder.

  • •Point the plugin at a folder of custom prompts or stick with the bundled presets.
  • •Prompts you save here appear in chat exports and the template picker.
  • •Choose whether new chats use the latest saved prompt or a fixed preset.
Templates & titles
Maintain prompt templates and title generation preferences.
  • •Template folders feed the template picker so you can reuse prompts quickly.
  • •Title generation options decide how chats and exports are named.
  • •Post-processing prompts include sensible defaults you can override per mode.
Advanced diagnostics
Expose error logging levels, freeze monitor options, profiling, and developer toggles.

  • •Use the restore defaults button for a clean slate on every tab.

Power-user workflow

  • •Use the search box at the top of the settings pane to jump straight to any control.
  • •Changes save instantly, so you can move between tabs without losing your place.
  • •Enable advanced mode to unlock custom providers, tool approvals, and granular model defaults.
Heads-upSome settings (for example custom transcription providers) appear only when advanced mode is enabled. The docs call this out on relevant feature pages.
