Account Management

Manage your profile, avatar, password, and email from the Settings page.

Avatar

Personalize your account with a profile picture:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. In the Account section, click Upload (or your current avatar)
  3. Select an image file:
    • Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP
    • Maximum size: 2 MB
  4. Your avatar updates immediately

Your avatar appears in the header and throughout the app.

Changing Your Email

  1. Go to Settings > Account
  2. Click Update next to your current email
  3. Enter your new email address
  4. Click Save

Email is used for password recovery

If you set up an email, you can use the "Forgot Password" feature on the login screen to reset your password. Without an email, an admin will need to reset your password manually.

Changing Your Password

  1. Go to Settings > Account
  2. Click Change Password
  3. Enter your current password
  4. Enter your new password
  5. Confirm the new password
  6. Click Save New Password

Password requirements

Choose a strong password. Your password is hashed with Argon2, one of the most secure hashing algorithms available.

Theme & Appearance

Dark Mode

Toggle between light and dark mode using the button in the header. Stridevox automatically detects your system preference on first load.

Automatic Theme Scheduling

Set your theme to switch automatically based on time of day:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Find Theme Scheduling
  3. Enable Automatic theme switching
  4. Set the Light mode start time (e.g., 06:00)
  5. Set the Dark mode start time (e.g., 20:00)

The theme will automatically switch at your configured times.

Language

Change the interface language from the dropdown in the header:

  • 🇬🇧 English (default)
  • 🇫🇷 French (Français)
  • 🇪🇸 Spanish (Español)

The entire interface translates instantly — navigation, buttons, labels, placeholders, and notifications.

Chat language

The interface language and chat language are separate. You can set a per-chat language when creating or editing a chat session, which tells the AI to respond in that language.

API Keys

Create API keys for programmatic access to Stridevox:

  1. Go to Settings > API Keys
  2. Enter an optional key name (for identification)
  3. Click Create API Key
  4. Copy the key immediately — it won't be shown again

Save your key

The API key is only shown once when created. Copy it and store it securely. If you lose it, you'll need to create a new one.

Managing API Keys

  • View all your API keys and their creation dates
  • Click Revoke to permanently delete a key

API keys can be used with the X-API-Key header for programmatic access to the Stridevox API.

Backup & Restore

Protect your data with backups:

Creating Backups

Button What It Backs Up
Create Full Backup Everything: settings, chat history, activities, sleep data
Create Activities Backup Activities data only

Backups are stored on the server and appear in the Available Backups list.

Restoring from Backup

  1. Click Restore from Backup
  2. Select a backup file
  3. Choose restore mode:
    • Merge — Adds new data without deleting existing data
    • Replace — Deletes all existing data and replaces with backup data

Replace mode is destructive

The Replace option deletes all your current data before restoring. Use with caution.

Downloading Backups

Click the Download button next to any backup in the list to save it to your computer for offline storage.
