App Settings provides a centralized configuration panel for Claude Board. Access it from the gear icon on the Dashboard, or from the App Settings entry in the project dropdown menu.

​
Accessing Settings

From Dashboard

Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Dashboard header, next to the language selector.

From Project View

Open the project dropdown menu and click App Settings in the 3x3 settings grid.

​
General Settings

​
Launch at Startup

Automatically open Claude Board when your computer starts. Uses the operating system’s native auto-launch mechanism:
PlatformMechanism
WindowsRegistry startup entry
macOSLaunchAgent
This setting is only available in the Tauri desktop app, not in web mode.

​
Minimize to Tray

When enabled, closing the window hides Claude Board to the system tray instead of quitting. The app continues running in the background and can be restored by:
  • Clicking the tray icon (left-click)
  • Right-click → Claude Board from the tray context menu
  • To fully quit: Right-click → Quit
This is a desktop-only feature. The system tray icon is always visible when the app is running.

​
Confirm Before Delete

Show a confirmation dialog before deleting tasks or projects. Enabled by default.

​
Auto-Open Terminal

Automatically open the terminal panel when a task starts running. Disable this if you prefer to manually open the terminal.

​
Default Model

Set the default Claude model for new tasks:
ModelDescription
HaikuFast and lightweight
SonnetBalanced (default)

​
Default Thinking Effort

Set the default thinking effort level for new tasks:
LevelDescription

​
Language

Switch the application display language. Currently supported:
  • English
  • Turkish (Turkce)
The language change takes effect immediately across all UI elements, including notification messages.

​
Settings Storage

Settings are stored in the local SQLite database (app_settings table) as key-value pairs. Changes are saved immediately when toggled — there is no separate “Save” button.

​
API

Settings are available through the API: 
GET  /api/settings          # Get all settings
PUT  /api/settings          # Update settings (partial update)
For Tauri desktop: 
api.getAppSettings()
api.updateAppSettings({ key: value })
