Some settings belong to the phone: the radios, quiet hours, notification sounds, the app lock, screen capture, hints, Wake me when mail arrives. Others can differ per profile: cadence, the internet mailbox, read receipts, photos, translation, check only when I open.
At the top of Settings, This profile switches the view. With it off you are setting the phone; with it on, only the profile you are wearing. A profile with no setting of its own follows the phone.
Which paths this phone will use. Switching one off hides its light everywhere.
The same choice Apple Mail offers. Push: the phone is woken the moment mail lands, once per message. Every 15 minutes: the phone is woken on a schedule whether or not anything is waiting, so the timing says nothing about a message. Manually: nothing is registered with Apple or Google, and mail is fetched only while the app is open. Below it, how often to check while the app is open; the background wake is one per phone, so the profiles vote and quiet hours win.
One-line hints appear the first time a gesture is the only way in — long press for options — and retire themselves once you have used the gesture. Show hints turns them off everywhere.
Off unless you use it, and never silent. Back up now seals profiles, identities, contacts, conversations, pictures and settings into one file under a passphrase you choose, and hands it to the phone's own file picker — your cloud drive, a folder, a computer. We never hold the passphrase and cannot recover it. Disappearing and view-once messages are never included; photos and other attachments are not, for size. Whoever stores the file learns that a backup exists, its size, and when it changed. Restore from a backup replaces everything on this phone.
Your own account with OpenAI, Anthropic or xAI: the key stays on this phone and our relay never sees it. With a key saved, a ✦ button joins the composer. Nothing is ever sent to the provider on its own.
English is the reference text; any translation is a convenience. Help is stored on this phone and never contacts anyone.
