Remote & Settings

Settings

Settings is NomiFun’s app-level configuration surface: see where your local data lives, switch between dark and light themes, and confirm the current version and open-source attribution on the About page. It is separate from your companion, model, and channel configuration — those have their own pages; this one is about the app itself.

Entry point: Settings at the bottom of the sidebar, route /settings.

System settings

Steps

  1. Open Settings. Click Settings at the bottom of the sidebar to reach /settings. The left side is split into groups such as Theme and About.

  2. Switch the theme. Under Theme, pick dark or light. The change applies instantly with no restart, and your choice is remembered for the next launch.

  3. Find your local data directory. NomiFun is local-first, so all state lives under a per-user app-data directory:

    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/NomiFun/Nomi
    • Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\NomiFun\Nomi
    • Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME/NomiFun/Nomi (usually ~/.local/share/NomiFun/Nomi)

    That directory holds the SQLite database (sessions, settings), companion/ (companions + the shared memory hub), knowledge/ (knowledge base), logs/, and more. The desktop app, the self-hosted web host, and the dev scripts all default to the same directory — so a provider or companion you set up in one host is visible in the others.

  4. Read the About page. Open the About group to confirm the current version and open-source attribution.

    About (version / attribution)

What’s on this page

  • Version: currently 0.1.0 (pre-1.0). NomiFun is iterating quickly, so settings and the UI may shift between releases.
  • License: Apache-2.0. Fully open-source and open to audit; the source lives on GitHub.
  • Attribution: NomiFun grew out of AionUi, rebuilt from there into a local-first “super AI workstation.”

Notes & boundaries

  • Treat data as a database. Treat the data directory like a database — back it up and lock down its permissions, and you can move the whole thing: copy it to a new machine to migrate, or quit the app and delete it to reset.
  • Isolated sandbox. To make one run use a separate directory, set NOMIFUN_DATA_DIR=<absolute path> before launch (the desktop app appends /Nomi). Two backends sharing one directory is blocked by design — startup fails fast and names the current holder.
  • Shared memory, per-companion skills. Inside the data directory, companion/ is one collection/learning pipeline shared by all companions, while the skill library is isolated per companion. Per-companion private memory is coming soon.
  • No runtime config here. The toggles and permissions for computer-use / browser-use / the nomi agent are not in Settings — see Computer & browser use.

FAQ

Does changing the theme require a restart? No — dark/light switches instantly and is remembered.

How do I find where my data lives? Use the per-platform path above; if you set NOMIFUN_DATA_DIR, look in the Nomi subdirectory of that path.

Where do I see the version? Settings → About group; it currently reads 0.1.0.
