Theme, notifications, and shortcuts

Appearance changes apply immediately and remain device-only unless the page explicitly offers a Cloud account default. Light, dark, system, accent, density, code text size, reduced motion, and language can be customized independently.

Notification preferences control local job/runtime alerts and browser permission. They do not create a Cloud session or upload project data.

Keyboard changes apply only to supported application bindings in the current browser. Native browser and operating-system shortcuts may still take precedence.

Profile and login visibility

A local workspace without Cloud login has no user profile. Connect a Cloud account before opening Profile; logout removes the profile controls while preserving local projects and identity.

AI provider login is independent from Cloud login. A provider account can be connected while Phynite Cloud remains signed out.
