App settings

Open the settings via the gear icon on your profile. All account-related settings are synchronized with your instance — a change made in the app also applies on the web, and vice versa.

The screen is split into seven sections:

  • My Account — avatar, bio, email, password
  • Privacy — who can see your profile, trails, and lists
  • Language & Units — app language, metric or imperial
  • Notifications — which events reach you
  • Categories — reorder or hide trail categories
  • Offline Maps/Regions — manage downloaded map data
  • Appearance — light, dark, or system theme
The settings screen

Manage your account: change your avatar and bio, update your email address or password, and — if you must — delete your account. Deleting your account removes all your data from your instance and cannot be undone.

Control who sees what:

  • Account privacy — a public profile appears in search results and can be followed; a private profile is visible only to you, while you can still publish individual trails or lists.
  • Default trail visibility — whether newly created trails start out public or private.
  • Default list visibility — the same for lists.

Visibility of individual trails and lists can always be changed later, per item.

Choose the app’s language (14 languages available) and switch between metric and imperial units. The unit setting applies everywhere — trail stats, navigation, elevation profiles.

Choose which events notify you — new followers, comments, summit logs on your trails, trail shares, and more — separately for web and email notifications.

Personalize your instance’s trail categories: reorder them by priority, and hide categories (and subcategories) you don’t use. Disabling a category you still have trails in asks for confirmation first and lets you jump straight to those trails.

Manage your downloaded map regions — see Offline use.

Switch between light, dark, or system theme.
