Settings

This page covers what you can actually change about how Ilena behaves — the real Settings dialog, nothing more.

Opening Settings

Click the gear icon on the right side of the toolbar, or choose Ilena → Settings from the top menu.

General

Everything you can configure today lives on the General tab:

The Settings dialog's General tab, listing dark mode, large font, automatic and manual inspiration with a generated-content badge, the three status-bar toggles, and the interface language selector
  • Dark mode — switches the editor's appearance.
  • Large font — increases the editor's text size.
  • Automatic inspiration — suggests line endings as you type. See Inspiration.
  • Manual inspiration — ask for a suggestion with Ctrl+Space. See Inspiration.
  • Show cursor position, Show word count, Show feet stats — each toggles one piece of the status bar at the bottom of the editor.
  • Interface language — the language of the app itself (English, French, or Spanish). This is separate from a work's own writing language, set on the work itself.

The small icon next to Automatic inspiration and Manual inspiration is the generated-content badge: it marks that turning either setting on means Ilena writes suggested content for you, rather than just analysing what you've already written.

Changes apply once you click OkCancel discards them.

Tools

The Tools tab is visible but disabled — there's nothing to configure there yet.

Your account — what's coming

Settings only covers how the editor looks and behaves. Managing your account itself — your name and email, your password, your plan, invoices, or deleting your account and exporting your data — isn't available from inside the app yet. That part of the app is coming; for now, reach [email protected] for any of it, with one exception: if you've simply forgotten your password, that's already self-serve — see Signing in, and password recovery.

The Ilena menu's Invoicing item reflects the same thing today — it's present, but permanently disabled:

The Ilena menu, with About, Settings, and Logout enabled and Invoicing shown greyed out and disabled
