Web Settings, and how they differ from the Mac

The web's Settings in the order it shows them, and what is only on the web or only on the Mac.

Settings on the web opens over whatever page you are on, at letthemchat.com/settings. A rail on the left lists the sections in three groups, with Search settings… at the top. While you type, every section that matches is drawn at once.

The order

GroupSections
The roomWho's In The Room, Model Prompt Editor, Memory, Schedule, Prompt Library, Skills
AccountAccount, Team, Governance, Appearance
BillingSpending, Plan & Billing

Room settings are stored on the account, so a change here reaches the Mac and the iPhone on their next sync. Appearance is the exception: it applies to this browser, apart from a few reading switches that say they are shared.

Where the web differs from the Mac

  • No Plugins. An MCP server runs on the machine that hosts it, so you add one on the Mac, under The room → Plugins.
  • No This Mac group. The Mac's General, Workspace, Storage and Appearance cover the folder, the sandbox, guardrails and disk. The web has none of those.
  • Appearance sits under Account. Its cards, in order: Theme (Match system, Light, Dark; default Light), Language, Display, Sending, Reading, Sidebar, Help menu, Notifications and Keyboard Shortcuts. The Mac names its themes Daylight, Paper and Dark.
  • No Activity page. The Mac's Account → Activity has no web counterpart.
  • Some connections are made only here. Telegram, Discord and GitHub for the Mac app's runs are set up under Account → Connected; the Mac shows a Set up on the web link for each. A team's Slack and Microsoft Teams links live under Team → Integrations.
  • Show what leaves before sending, under Appearance → Sending, shows each message as the providers will receive it, masked where your team masks personal data, before it goes. Default: off.
  • Opened over a discussion, Who's In The Room edits that discussion's seats and leader rather than the account's. A seat the discussion runs on a Mac reads "Its models are chosen in the Mac app."

Who sees what

Every signed-in person sees every section. Some cards inside depend on plan or role:

Team → IntegrationsTeam owners and admins
Governance, editingTeam owners and admins; members and auditors read it
Appearance → Help menuOnly where a community Slack link is offered

Keyboard

⌘⇧O (Ctrl+Shift+O) starts a discussion, ⌘K searches your discussions, and ⌘F finds in the one you are reading; a second ⌘F gives you the browser's own find. Esc closes menus and the Settings panel. ⌘N and ⌘, belong to the browser, so they work only in the Mac app.

When not to use the web. Anything that needs your repository, a terminal or a sandbox. Hand it to a Mac with Run on my Mac instead, and watch it from the browser.
