Profile & Preferences

Your profile and preferences control how Magus looks and behaves for you personally. Changes here only affect your account. You reach them via your avatar at the bottom of the left rail: open the menu and choose Settings.

Profile Settings

Name

Your display name appears in conversations and in shared or multiplayer spaces. To change it:

1. Go to Settings → Profile
2. Update the Display name field (there is also a separate Full name field)
3. Click Save

Email Address

Your email address is used for login and notifications. To update it:

1. Go to Settings → Profile
2. In the Email section, enter your new email address
3. Confirm the change via the email you receive

Avatar

Your avatar is the profile picture shown next to your messages. In the Avatar section of Settings → Profile you have two options:

• Upload an image: Click Upload and choose a photo from your device. Square images work best.
• AI-generated avatar: Click Generate, describe what you want, and Magus creates an avatar image for you.

To remove your current avatar and go back to the default, click Remove.

Changing Your Password

You can change (or set) your password from Settings → Profile:

1. Scroll to the Change password section (it reads Set a password if you signed up without one)
2. Enter your current password, then your new password twice
3. Save

If you’ve forgotten your current password, use the Forgot Password link on the login page to receive a reset link by email.

Language

Magus is available in English and German. To change your language:

1. Go to Settings → Profile
2. Pick your language in the Language dropdown
3. Click Save

Timezone

Your timezone setting affects how times are displayed in conversations and how your agents interpret time-based requests like “schedule something for 3pm tomorrow.”

1. Go to Settings → Preferences
2. Enter your IANA timezone (for example Europe/Zurich) in the Timezone field
3. Click Save

Note: timezone changes are rate-limited. You can change your timezone once every 30 days to prevent abuse.

UI Settings

Autoscroll

When autoscroll is enabled, the chat window automatically scrolls to the bottom as new messages come in. This is the default behavior and is recommended for most users.

To disable it, go to Settings → Preferences, find the Autoscroll while streaming toggle under Interface, and turn it off. With autoscroll off, the chat stays in place while new content arrives, which can be useful if you’re reading earlier messages during a long response.

The same section has the Show tabs toggle for the optional tab bar.

Default Models

You can set default AI models for different task types:

• Chat model: Used for regular text conversations
• Image model: Used for image generation requests
• Video model: Used for video generation requests

To change your default models:

1. Go to Settings → Preferences
2. Open the Default models section
3. Use the dropdowns to select your preferred model for each task type (or Auto to let the router choose)

Individual conversations can override these defaults: setting a model on a specific conversation takes precedence over your account-level default. See Choosing a Model for details on available models and what they’re suited for.
