Settings and Preferences

Appearance and theme

MokoHub ships with a clean default look based on the Mokonyx brand palette. You can switch between light and dark, follow your computer's theme automatically, and pick your own accent color.

Turn on Dark Mode:

1. Open Settings and go to the General section.
2. Find the Appearance heading.
3. Switch on Dark Mode. The change applies immediately, no restart needed.

Match your operating system automatically: Turn on Adaptable Dark Mode to let MokoHub follow your computer. When your system is in dark mode, MokoHub goes dark; when your system is light, MokoHub goes light. This is the easiest option if you already switch your whole computer between day and night themes.

Dark mode inside services: The Universal Dark Mode option (on by default) tries to push a dark theme into the individual services themselves, such as Gmail or your calendar, rather than only darkening MokoHub's own sidebar and menus. Some services look better with it than others, so feel free to turn it off if a particular service looks odd.

Change the accent color: The accent color is used for buttons, toggles, and highlights.

1. Under Appearance, find Accent Color Settings.
2. Use the color picker (or type a hex value like #3F8FF0) to choose your color.
3. The interface recolors instantly. If you ever enter an invalid value, MokoHub quietly resets to the default blue.

Note: If your MokoHub was set up for your organization, some branding such as the product name, icon, or default accent may be managed centrally by your administrator. In that case those items may be fixed rather than editable.

Startup and window behavior

These settings control what happens when your computer starts and when you close the window.

• Launch at login (start MokoHub automatically) — have MokoHub open on its own when you sign in to your computer, so your services are ready without you having to launch it.
• Keep in background / Close to tray — when you close the window, MokoHub stays running in the system tray (or menu bar) instead of quitting fully. This keeps your services loaded so notifications keep arriving. Click the tray icon to bring the window back.

Service Hibernation. To save memory and keep your computer responsive, MokoHub can unload services you aren't actively using and reload them when you return. You'll find these controls under the Hibernation heading:

• Hibernate on startup — start most services in an unloaded state so the app opens faster and uses less memory.
• Hibernation timeout — how long a service sits unused before it unloads.

Important comms services (such as your email and chat) are set to stay loaded so their notifications remain instant, even while other services hibernate. You generally don't need to change this, but tightening hibernation can help on machines with limited memory.

Notifications

MokoHub surfaces unread counts and pop-up notifications from your services so you don't have to check each one. A few settings help you control the noise.

Do Not Disturb. Silence notifications on demand, or on a schedule:

1. Open Settings and go to General.
2. Enable Scheduled Do-Not-Disturb to define quiet hours.
3. Enter a start and end time in 24-hour format. The end time may be earlier than the start (for example, 17:00 to 09:00) to cover overnight.

Background notification checks. Even services that have hibernated are checked periodically so their notifications still reach you. How often this happens depends on how important the service is:

• High priority services (email, chat, messaging) stay loaded and notify you in real time.
• Normal services are checked roughly every few minutes.
• Low priority services are checked less often to save resources.

If your MokoHub is managed by your organization, these priorities may be preset and locked. Otherwise, you can adjust how aggressively each service checks for notifications, trading a little immediacy for lower resource use.

Privacy and security

MokoHub is built to be private by default. Your logins and data live locally on your computer, and the app is designed so that a small number of trusted services run in isolated sessions.

• Local-first storage. Your services, settings, and sessions are stored on your own device. There is no separate account server collecting your activity.
• Stay signed in. Logins are kept between restarts (sessions are persistent and the cache is not wiped on launch), so you don't have to sign in to every service each time you open MokoHub.
• Telemetry is optional. If a setting for sending diagnostic/telemetry data is present, it is used only to help find errors — it never sends your messages or personal content. You can leave it off if you prefer.

Password Lock. For an extra layer of privacy on a shared computer, you can require a password to open or unlock MokoHub:

1. In Settings → General, enable Password Lock.
2. Set a password you will remember. If you lose it, you will need to reinstall MokoHub, so store it safely.
3. Optionally set Lock after inactivity (in minutes) so MokoHub locks itself when left unattended. Use 0 to disable automatic locking.

Domain lock (managed hubs). Organization-configured hubs may restrict each service to an approved list of web addresses, so a service can't wander off to an unexpected site. This is set by your administrator and helps keep your workspace contained; you'll normally never notice it unless a page tries to navigate somewhere outside the allowed list.

Saving changes

Most appearance and behavior settings take effect the moment you change them. A few options are marked Changes require restart — for those, close and reopen MokoHub to see the effect. There's no separate save step for everyday preferences.

Tips

• If MokoHub feels heavy on an older computer, turn on Service Hibernation and move rarely-used services to a lower priority.
• Prefer one theme all day? Use Dark Mode directly. Switch with your system? Use Adaptable Dark Mode instead.
• On a shared machine, combine Password Lock with Lock after inactivity for hands-off protection.
• If a setting looks greyed out, it may be centrally managed by your organization — contact your administrator if you need it changed.
