Settings, Models, and Data
Settings covers the product boundaries: UI language, external model providers, themes and sound effects, user input preferences, local data, and app updates.
Model Providers
Section titled “Model Providers”Yomitomo supports preset providers and custom OpenAI-compatible providers. When adding a provider, enter its name, base URL, API key, model, and reasoning effort.
Preset providers include:
- OpenAI
- Anthropic
- Google Gemini
- DeepSeek
- MiniMax
- Alibaba Cloud Bailian
- Moonshot
- Zhipu
- Volcengine
- Xiaomi MiMo
API keys are saved in the system keyring. SQLite only stores provider settings and key references.
WeRead
Section titled “WeRead”WeRead sync requires a separate WeRead API key. See “Get a WeRead API Key”.
Task Routing
Section titled “Task Routing”After configuring providers, assign models to different tasks:
| Task | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Reading assistants | Highlight thought generation and @ mention replies |
| Review assistants | Evidence, logic, and clarity review |
Language
Section titled “Language”In Settings > General you can switch the UI language (for example Simplified Chinese and English). App UI, assistant persona copy, and many prompts follow the selected language.
Theme and Reader Paper
Section titled “Theme and Reader Paper”The theme button in the sidebar switches between light, dark, dusk indigo, and reader paper themes, including a hand-drawn ink paper picker. Reader paper only affects web articles, EPUB books, and PDF reading surfaces. In dark mode, PDFs keep their original page colors to avoid reducing document readability.
Sound Effects
Section titled “Sound Effects”Settings > General lets you toggle in-app sound effects and adjust volume—for example import success, library delete, highlight creation, distillation commit, and assistant writing in discussions.
Shortcuts
Section titled “Shortcuts”Message sending can use either Enter or Cmd/Ctrl+Enter. Reader selection actions support custom copy and annotation shortcuts. Each shortcut must be a single letter and cannot conflict with another shortcut.
Data Management
Section titled “Data Management”Data management provides entries for the data directory, logs, and database file. It also supports SQLite database backup and restore.
App Updates
Section titled “App Updates”Yomitomo supports update flows on macOS and Windows. The app checks for new versions at startup, and you can also check manually in Settings > About. When an update is available, release notes for that version are shown (fetched from the website before update, bundled locally after update). Public macOS installers are signed and notarized.
Assistant Diagnostics
Section titled “Assistant Diagnostics”If an assistant does not respond as expected, open Assistant Diagnostics in Settings to inspect the most recent call state. This page is mainly for diagnosing model configuration, network issues, or provider errors.
