Account settings

Account settings let you personalize how Bolt looks and works, and manage the tools connected to your account.

​

Open your account settings

You can open your account settings from the Bolt homepage or from inside a project.

• In the left sidebar, click your avatar, then click Settings.
  

This opens the General settings page. Navigate to other account settings using the left navigation menu.

​

General

Select a theme, turn off or on sound notification, set default agent, and make other selections to tailor your account to your preferences.

​

Theme

Controls which color mode Bolt uses. Default is Dark. Options are Light, Dark, and System, which matches Bolt’s theme to your device setting.

​

Display token usage in chat

Controls whether your monthly token balance shows above the chatbox when you’re in a project. Default is off.

​

Sound notification

Controls whether Bolt plays a sound notification when the agent finishes responding. Default is on.

​

Default agent

Controls which agent Bolt uses automatically when you start a new project. Default is Standard.

​

Editor line wrapping

Controls whether long lines of code wrap in the code editor when you’re using Code view. Default is on.

​

Show open-source design systems after creating your own

Controls whether the built-in open-source design systems stay available in the Design system menu in the chatbox after you add your own. The built-in options are Chakra, Material UI, and Shadcn. Default is on. With this setting on, your design system appears in the Design system menu alongside the open-source ones. When you turn it off, your design system replaces the open-source ones, so only your own appears in the menu. To learn how to add your own design system, see Add your design system.

​

Model training

Controls whether Bolt can use your projects and chats to train AI models. Default is on, except for accounts based in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, where it’s off by default. This setting applies to content you create in Bolt on or after October 7, 2026, including older content you submit to one of Bolt’s AI features (for example, by prompting Bolt in an existing project) on or after that date. Turning this setting off doesn’t affect your plan. You can turn it off or back on whenever you want. To learn more about how Bolt handles your data, see the Privacy Policy.

​

Applications

Connect and manage third-party applications like Supabase, Netlify, Figma, and GitHub.

​

Knowledge

Add background instructions for Bolt to follow across all of your projects. Account knowledge gives Bolt a reliable sense of context around goals, style expectations, terminology, constraints, and workflow habits. Instead of repeating these details in every prompt, add them in knowledge so the agent uses them automatically. If you want to set knowledge for a specific project that does not apply to your other projects, you can add project knowledge directly in your Project settings.

​

Connectors (MCP)

Connect Bolt to the apps and data sources you use, like Notion, Linear, GitHub, or others. Bolt offers built-in connectors for several tools, and you can also add custom connectors. To learn more, see Connect to an MCP server.

​

Add-on features

Extend what Bolt can do with optional features.

​

Dynamic reasoning

Controls whether Bolt uses deeper reasoning to produce more accurate results for complex prompts, such as multi-step logic, debugging, or architectural decisions. Default is off. Because this setting requires more processing per prompt, it uses more tokens. Consider turning it on only when you need deeper reasoning, then turning it off again.

​

Image generation

Controls whether Bolt can create images from text descriptions directly in your conversation. Default is off. Image generation produces high-quality custom images, but uses significantly more tokens than text-based prompts. To learn more, see Generate AI images for your project.
