Account, Appearance, and Apps

Some settings belong to you rather than a Space or workspace.

Account

Open Settings → Details for personal profile details and connected Claude or Codex subscriptions.

Appearance

Use appearance settings to choose display preferences such as theme behavior.

Desktop app

Type also has a desktop app. Use the desktop app when you want Type available outside the browser with native app behavior. Download the Type desktop app.

Browser tasks

Use the desktop app for interactive browser tasks: signed-in websites, clicking, and filling forms. Each task uses its own live browser. Hide the Browser panel or switch tasks while it works, then click the browser tab title in the task header to return to the exact tab the agent is using. The pulsing dot means there was recent browser activity; Browser needs attention and Browser offline let you open the page to inspect it or reconnect Type.

Hiding the Browser panel or switching tasks keeps your tabs and forms in place. Close individual tabs when you are done with them, as in any browser. Type handles browser cleanup; there is no separate session to manage. Live forms are not restored after quitting or restarting Type.

On web, mobile, Slack, and CLI, managed tasks can search and read public pages through Firecrawl. Interactive browser tasks require desktop, even when your desktop app is already connected. In a web task, choose Desktop browser, then Continue in desktop to open the same task. Send a follow-up message there to continue with browser access; opening the app does not move an in-flight web turn to the desktop browser.

If the desktop disconnects, Type retries that same browser after reconnection. It does not switch to a cloud browser. If public web research is unavailable, Type reports that limitation instead of silently substituting interactive browsing.

Mobile and Slack

Use the mobile app to keep up with threads and work when you are away from your computer.

Add Type to Slack when your team works there. Slack channels can map to channels in a Space, so Type can post updates and answer with the Space resources available to that conversation. Mapped-channel responses use the effective permissions of the person and conversation that triggered them. Connected resources are limited to those assigned to the Space or otherwise authorized for that person and conversation; mapping a Slack channel does not grant broader access. See Slack for setup.

Claude and Codex subscriptions

Open Settings → Details and find Use your own coding subscriptions to connect Claude or Codex.

Supported requests can run through your existing subscription, similar to using it in a local environment, and don’t count against the workspace’s AI usage allowance. Your subscription is personal. The Space still provides the shared computer, tools, context, and collaboration around the request.

For the full walkthrough, see Use your Claude and Codex subscriptions.

Notification settings

Open Settings → Notifications to choose delivery categories, notification sounds, and browser or desktop delivery. These personal preferences are separate from following Spaces or Channels and subscribing to threads. See Notification preferences.

Email settings

Open Emails in settings to choose which emails Type sends you.

For account emails, one level applies at a time:

• All emails: every update about your account, Spaces, and workspace activity.
• Action required and critical emails: day-to-day actions you need to take, plus critical alerts.
• Critical emails only: only critical alerts and legally required messages.

For marketing emails, opt in or out of each category: New features and updates, Offers and promotions, and Feedback and surveys. Use Unsubscribe from all marketing emails to override the categories with a single switch; your category choices are kept and restored if you turn it back off.

Changes save immediately. There is no separate save button.

You can also unsubscribe directly from any account or marketing email using the Unsubscribe link in its footer, or your mail client’s built-in one-click unsubscribe. Marketing emails unsubscribe you from all marketing; account emails drop you to critical-only. Transactional messages you request, such as team invitations, always send and carry no unsubscribe link.
