Using Settings

A walkthrough of every Settings screen — AI engine, sound, displays, network, Bluetooth, theme.

The Settings app is where you configure MeghaOS. It's organized into sections down the left; this page walks through each. For a quick option reference, see the Settings Reference.

AI Engine

The most important screen. Under Engine / Core, choose the AI that powers the assistant:

Pick a provider

Choose a hosted provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, Google Vertex AI, or another OpenAI-compatible service) or a local model runner (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM).

Add your key

Paste the provider's API key. Local models need no key.

Choose a model

Enter or pick the model to use.

Note

AI settings are live — switching provider or model applies on your next request, with no restart. See LLM Providers.

Sound

Adjust Output Volume and manage audio devices. This is the same control surface the assistant uses when you say "set volume to 30%" — see System Control.

Displays

Control Brightness and display options. Works alongside chat commands like "dim the screen" and the Control Center.

Network

Manage Wi-Fi: see Available Networks, Connect to one (entering a Password when required), and review your connection. Equivalent to asking "connect to <network>".

Bluetooth

Turn Bluetooth on/off and manage Devices — pair, connect, and inspect nearby and known devices.

Theme

Switch the desktop Theme between dark, light, and glassmorphic. Generated interfaces use semantic colors that adapt to your choice automatically — see Theming.

Platform note. Sound, displays, network, and Bluetooth controls are available on all editions. On macOS, some system settings are managed by macOS itself — grant MeghaOS the relevant permissions (see Running MeghaOS). Apple-specific integrations are configured per Editions & Platforms.
