Account settings

Settings is where you manage your MotherFluxer account beyond billing. Open it to change how you sign in, keep the keys and accounts your Apps use, switch the app's appearance, or remove your data. Two of these actions are permanent, so this page flags exactly which ones.

Password and auth method

The Authentication section controls how you sign in to MotherFluxer.

• Change Password — set a new password for your account. You'll need your current password to confirm the change.
• Method — switch between Email and password login, Google login, and Apple login. Use this if you'd rather tap to sign in, or move back to a password.

If you switch auth methods, your account and all your content stay the same — only the way you log in changes.

Appearance

Appearance, on the Preferences tab of Settings, sets how MotherFluxer looks. Pick the theme that's easiest on your eyes:

• Light — a bright interface, good for well-lit rooms.
• Dark — a dimmed interface, good for low light and long sessions.

Two switches below the theme choose what the app shows you:

• Show credits in the sidebar — your credit balance beside your name at the bottom of the sidebar. It starts on; turn it off to hide the balance there. A member of a shared account sees that they're on a shared account in that spot instead, whichever way this is set.
• Show remaining usage in chat — for a member of a shared account with a spending limit, a short line by the chat box saying how much of that limit is left. It starts off.

Each choice applies immediately and is remembered the next time you open MotherFluxer.

Language

Choose the language MotherFluxer's buttons, menus, and messages are written in.

• Device language — follow whatever language your phone, tablet, or computer is set to. If that language isn't available yet, you'll see English.
• A specific language — pick it and MotherFluxer stays in it regardless of your device setting.

Each language is listed under its own name, so you can find yours even when the app is currently in a language you don't read. Your choice is saved to your account, so it applies everywhere you sign in, including the mobile app. A language only appears in the list once it is fully translated, so you'll never see a screen written half in one language and half in another.

Your choice also applies to the emails MotherFluxer sends you — receipts, alerts about your Apps, storage notices and support replies all arrive in the language you picked. A few messages are always in English: anything sent to an address that isn't signed in to an account yet, such as an invitation or an email-verification link, because we have no way to know what that person reads.

The language you pick changes MotherFluxer's own wording. It does not translate the chats, Projects, or Artifacts you've already created, and it does not change the language the AI replies in — ask the AI in the language you'd like it to answer in.

Email and messages

Choose what MotherFluxer sends you.

• Send me email — the master switch for email from MotherFluxer. Turn it off and you stop receiving alerts about your Apps, usage warnings, and other notices, across your whole account. A few emails still arrive with it off: the ones about money, or about losing a web address you own.
• Send me marketing email — occasional emails from us, such as asking for a review. It starts off, and we send you none unless you turn it on. It is separate from Send me email, which neither turns it on nor off: marketing email follows this switch alone, and you can turn it off again any time.
• Send me push notifications — the master switch for notifications from the mobile app. Turn it off and every push stops; unlike email, nothing still comes through.
• Show tutorials and tips — the short pointers that appear the first time you open something.
• Show promotional messages — occasional messages about what's new.

Each takes effect immediately. If you build Apps, the same email switch appears at the top of an App's Alerts page, where it sits above every alert that App can send you — changing it in either place changes it everywhere.

New apps start with

New apps start with holds the build rules you want every new App of yours to begin with: what the AI that builds your Apps should Always do and Never do. Type a line into Add a line under either list and press Enter; the trash icon beside a line removes it. Each change saves at once. If your lines can't be loaded, the section says why and offers Try again.

When you create an App, these lines are copied into its brief, under Develop › About. From then on the App keeps its own copy: changing them here only affects Apps you create afterwards, and restoring an older version of an App brings back the rules it was built with.

Connections & Keys

Connections & Keys, on the Account tab of Settings, is your vault: every key, connected account and data link you have set up once and let your Apps use. It is yours alone — on a shared account each person has their own, and someone building one of your Apps with you never sees it.

Entries are grouped into Connected accounts, Keys and Data links. Each one shows:

• Its name, and its last use — "Last used" and roughly when, or Never used.
• Where it came from — an account or key a connection set up names that connection, such as "Set up by the Google Sheets connection"; a data link names its list, the App it is in and how far it reaches, such as "orders in Shop · Read".
• Every App that reads it — the App, which of its versions (Live, Draft, or Posted for a copy of the App you posted to Slop) and the name its code reads it as, such as "Shop · Live · reads it as MAPS_KEY", each with Revoke. An entry no App reads says No App reads it and offers Remove instead.

A value is never shown — not here, and not in any App. You choose which entry an App reads from that App's Equip › Connect, where each of its variables offers the entries of the right kind from this vault.

Add a key, connect a service, or link a list

Three buttons under Connections & Keys add to your vault. Whatever you add here is used by none of your Apps until you pick it for one of them in that App's Equip › Connect.

• Add a key — give it a Name you will recognise, paste the Key, and select Add a key. It is stored encrypted, and it is never shown again — not here and not in any App.
• Connect a service — pick a service you sign in to, such as a Google or Microsoft one, and sign in in the window that opens. The account lands here, ready for any of your Apps. Connecting an account that is already here refreshes that one entry, so every App reading it gets the new sign-in. If your browser blocks the window, allow pop-ups and press Connect a service again.
• Link a list — let another of your Apps use a list from one of your Apps. Choose its Access — Read, or Read and write — and pick the List, grouped by App, then select Link a list. The records stay where they are, under that list's own rules. A list that holds people's details can be linked for reading only.

Revoke or remove an entry

Two different actions take a key, account or data link away, both from Connections & Keys:

• Revoke, beside one App on an entry, stops that App — in that version — reading it right away. The entry stays in your vault for your other Apps, and the App shows Setup needed until you give it one again. Revoking a posted copy's access stops the post using that key.
• Remove deletes the entry for good; it can't be brought back. It is offered only once no App reads the entry, so revoke each App first — an App reading a key it lost would simply break. Removing a connected Google account also ends MotherFluxer's access to it at Google.

Taking a connection off inside one App is a revoke too: it stops that App using the account, and the account stays here until you remove it.

Servers & databases

Servers & databases, on the Account tab of Settings, lists every App of yours that runs on its own database or its own server. Each App keeps its own; you pay for the databases once.

• When any of your Apps has its own database, the top line shows the add-on that pays for them all: how many of its databases are in use, of how many it covers, and its one monthly price for all of them — "Own databases: 2 of 3", then the price. If the add-on has ended, it says so instead, and those Apps move back to shared storage.
• Each App is a row with its name and Open, which opens the App. Under the name, Own database when it has one, and a line for each server it runs — Live or Draft, and whether it is always on or sleeps when idle.

If none of your Apps runs on its own database or server, the section says so. Changing a database or a server happens inside its App, which Open takes you to.

Blocked users

Blocked Users lists everyone you've blocked in the community, newest first, and is where you undo a block.

• Blocking is mutual: someone you block can't see your community content, and you won't see theirs.
• Block someone from their handle anywhere in the community; the block shows up in this list afterward.
• Click Unblock beside a handle to lift the block. Both of you can see each other's community content again straight away.

If you haven't blocked anyone, the list reads "You haven't blocked anyone." Blocking is available on every account, and it's separate from reporting — blocking only changes what you and that person see, while a report asks us to review the content itself.

Clear data

Clear Data holds three actions, each with its own confirmation, and each is permanent.

• Clear All Chats — deletes all chats, Projects, and Artifacts. What MotherFluxer has learned to customize your experience is kept, and so are any managed users and their work.
• Clear All User Training — deletes only what MotherFluxer has learned about how you like things done. Your chats, Projects, and Artifacts are untouched.
• Clear All Data — both of the above at once. Managed users and their work still stay.

Your account itself stays active — you'll still be signed in and can start creating again from a clean slate. If you only want to remove a single chat or Artifact, delete that item directly instead of clearing everything.

Below the three actions, the section links to MotherFluxer's Privacy Policy, Terms of Service and Open-source licenses, each opening in a new tab.

Delete account

Delete Account closes your MotherFluxer account and schedules everything in it to be deleted. You type DELETE to confirm, and then two things happen at two different times.

• Your account stops working right away. The moment you confirm, you're signed out of everything and nothing in the app is reachable any more — on every device you're signed in on, not just this one.
• The deletion itself happens later, on a set date. You're told the exact date when you confirm. On that date your chats, Projects, Artifacts, usage history, and preferences are permanently deleted, and nothing can be recovered afterward.

Changing your mind

Sign in again before the deletion date and MotherFluxer shows you a single screen: the date everything goes, Keep my account, and Sign out. Choosing to keep it cancels the deletion and restores your account exactly as it was — nothing was deleted while it was waiting.

Once the date passes you can no longer cancel, and the deletion goes ahead.

Before you delete

• Any credits still on your balance go with the account, so spend what's left first.
• If you sign in with Apple, you're asked to confirm with Apple as part of the deletion so that MotherFluxer's access to your Apple sign-in is withdrawn too. If that confirmation doesn't go through, nothing is deleted and your account is left alone.
• If you only want to clear your work but keep the account, use the Clear Data section of Settings instead.

If your account is suspended

A person on our team can suspend an account that breaks the Community Standards. A suspension stops the account working; it does not delete anything in it.

• You're signed out everywhere at once. While the account is suspended, signing in shows Your account is suspended in place of the app, with the address to write to, Read the Community Standards, and Sign out.
• We email you why. The email names the Community Standards rule the account breaks, says the decision was made by a person, not an automated system, and gives the address to ask for a review. It arrives even if you turned off other emails.
• Ask for a review by email. A suspended account can't open My Cases, so write to the address in the email or on the suspended screen, and a person reviews the decision. If it was wrong, the suspension is lifted and the account works again as it was. You can also take the matter to court.
