Profile settings

The profile page holds everything about you personally: name, sign-in methods, password, two-factor sign-in and passkeys, theme, language, the simple view, signed-in devices, calendar subscriptions, API tokens, notifications and account deletion. Open it via your avatar (top right) → Profile and settings.

Your name is shown to your team on cards, comments and in the members list.
Sign-in methods lists your password, the providers you connected (such as Google or Microsoft) and single sign-on. Connect or disconnect providers there – see sign-in methods and SSO.
Password: enter the current password and a new one (at least 10 characters). You can sign out your other devices at the same time. Accounts that came through a provider can Set a password.
Two-factor sign-in adds a code from an authenticator app to your sign-ins, with recovery codes; Passkeys sign you in with your fingerprint, face or device PIN – see two-factor sign-in and passkeys.

Appearance and language

Theme: System (follows your device), Light, Dark, High contrast or Sepia.
Language: English, Deutsch, Deutsch (Schweiz), Français, Italiano or Español. Your choice is stored in a cookie shared with the website, so contals.com and the docs follow it too. Without a choice, Contals uses your browser’s language. French, Italian and Spanish are being translated: a text that is not translated yet shows in English, and the docs open in English for these languages.

Accessibility: simple view and shortcuts

In the section Accessibility, turn on Use the simple view for fewer buttons, larger text and larger buttons (at least 44 pixels), plain words and card details as a full page on phones. Boards then show what helpers need: your cards, opening a card, ticking checklist items, taking one with I’ll do it, comments, marking a card done, votes and date polls. Setting up boards, labels and Power-Ups stays in the full view.

The simple view is on from the start for volunteers, viewers and guests; they see a short note with Keep it and Show all features the first time. Everyone can switch here at any time. More in simple view and accessibility.

Single-key shortcuts (on by default): / opens the search and F the board filter. Turn them off if you use speech input or press keys by accident; ⌘K / Ctrl K keeps working. See also the keyboard shortcuts and the accessibility statement.

This device and signed-in devices

This is a shared device: turn it on for computers that others use too (for example the church office). Contals then keeps no copies of boards in this browser, and offline reading is off.
Signed-in devices lists every device where you are signed in. Sign out other devices ends all other sessions at once – their open boards disconnect immediately.

Calendar subscriptions

Calendar subscriptions → My cards and checklist items creates a secret link with every card and checklist item assigned to you that has a due date, for Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. The section also lists the board subscriptions you created. See subscribe in your calendar app.

API tokens

API tokens are personal keys for scripts, integrations and AI agents that use the REST API or the MCP server. New token → a name, the scopes, optionally one workspace and an expiry → Create token; the token is shown only once. A token can never do more than you can. Revoke stops it at once. See API and MCP server.

Notifications

The in-app inbox collects assignments and comments. Summary e-mail and notifications opens the notification settings: for each kind of notification in the app, by push or by e-mail, push on this device, quiet hours, due reminders, and the summary e-mail (off, daily or weekly, the day and time, your time zone, and what it includes). If you unsubscribed through the link in an e-mail, the page says so and offers to turn the e-mails on again. See notifications.

Delete your account

At the bottom of the page. See account deletion.
