# Settings

> Configure your CodeCobra account, profile, appearance, and notifications.

Access your settings from the sidebar by clicking on your name and selecting **Settings**. The settings page is organized into sections for easy navigation.

## Profile

Update your **display name** — this is the name that appears to team members in organizations and on task activity. Your email address is shown for reference but cannot be changed.

## GitHub

Connect or disconnect your GitHub account. Your connection status is shown here, along with the installation details when connected.

* **Connect** — authorize the CodeCobra GitHub app to access your repositories
* **Disconnect** — remove the connection (existing pushed code is not affected)

For detailed setup instructions, see [GitHub integration](/projects/github-integration).

## Billing

Your billing dashboard shows:

* **Current balance** — how much credit you have remaining
* **Default payment method** — which card is used for purchases and auto-reload
* **Auto-reload settings** — configure automatic top-ups to avoid running out of balance
* **Invoice history** — a record of all transactions with downloadable PDFs

For details on managing your balance and payments, see [Billing](/billing/overview).

## Payment methods

Add, remove, and manage your credit cards:

* Add new payment methods securely through Stripe
* Set a default card for purchases and auto-reload
* Remove cards you no longer use

See [Manage payments](/billing/manage-payments) for step-by-step instructions.

## Usage

Premium accounts can view **usage analytics** — a visual breakdown of activity across your projects over time. This includes:

* Activity graphs showing usage patterns
* Breakdown by project
* Cost tracking over configurable time periods

This is useful for understanding your spending patterns and budgeting for future development.

## Notifications

Control how you receive updates:

| Notification type       | What it does                                                                          |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Email notifications** | Receive email updates about task completions, project activity, and important events  |
| **Push notifications**  | Receive browser notifications for real-time events like when a task finishes building |

Both can be toggled on or off independently.

## Appearance

Choose your preferred visual theme:

| Theme      | Description                                                                                    |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Light**  | A bright interface with light backgrounds                                                      |
| **Dark**   | A reduced-glare interface with dark backgrounds — easier on the eyes in low-light environments |
| **System** | Automatically matches your operating system's light/dark setting                               |

Your theme preference is saved to your account and applies across all devices.

## Advanced Mode

Advanced Mode is a per-user toggle (also in the Appearance section of Settings)
that unlocks power-user controls across the app. It is **off by default** —
turn it on only if you want more surface area than the regular experience.

When Advanced Mode is on you get:

| Feature                            | What it does                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Skip Planning shortcut**         | A prominent "Skip planning, start building" button in the chat that jumps straight to the Development stage without asking CodeCobra to write a plan first. Handy for one-line fixes or when you already know exactly what you want. |
| **Per-repository branch picker**   | Choose the exact git branch CodeCobra should work from in each connected repository, instead of the default "create a new feature branch" behaviour.                                                                                 |
| **Raw gadget-call timeline**       | Every gadget CodeCobra runs (file reads, shell commands, searches, test runs, …) is shown expanded in the chat, with live output, instead of the friendlier "cooking something up…" summary.                                         |
| **Open Odoo preview in a new tab** | The Odoo preview panel gets an "open in new tab" button so you can pop the workspace out of the chat view.                                                                                                                           |

Advanced Mode is a comfort/visibility setting — nothing is hidden behind it
that changes what CodeCobra is allowed to do. You can toggle it on and off
as often as you like.

<Tip>New to CodeCobra? Leave Advanced Mode off while you learn the workflow.
Turn it on once the basics feel routine and you want tighter control over the
plan-and-develop loop.</Tip>
