Settings reference
Find Nock's speech, AI, Team, browser, privacy, and account controls.
Open Settings in the notch or top bar, or Settings… from Nock’s app menu. Settings remembers the section you last used. Most changes save as you make them; a dialog such as the shortcut editor can have its own confirmation.

Use the keyboard
Section titled “Use the keyboard”Focus the section rail and use Up or Down, Home, or End to move between sections. Tab moves into the selected section’s controls. While the shortcut editor is recording a new key combination, global voice shortcuts pause; finish or cancel it before testing your hold.
Preference, permission, and connection
Section titled “Preference, permission, and connection”A preference describes what you want Nock to do. A system permission allows the computer to do it. An AI or app connection provides access to that service, and your plan determines included services. Changing one does not silently grant the others.
When troubleshooting, change one relevant control, test it, and read its status. Use the interface rather than editing preference files while Nock is running. Troubleshooting links each symptom to its checks.
