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.
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.
