Settings map
Almost everything you configure in Pyre lives under More, the settings hub. This page maps each item to what it does and the guide that covers it.
Getting around
Pyre's main navigation is four tabs on the bottom bar (mobile) or a NavigationRail on desktop:
| Tab | What it is |
|---|---|
| Characters | Your character library — folders, tags, favorites, search. |
| Chats | Your conversations. |
| Discover | The in-app, allowlisted window into BotBooru and other trusted card hubs. |
| More | The settings hub (everything below). |
Info
On startup Pyre runs an informational update check — it compares your running version against a hosted version file and lets you know when a new build is out. It does not auto-update.
The More menu
| Item | What it does | Guide |
|---|---|---|
| API Connections | Add and manage providers (endpoint + key), pick the active one, set per-provider extra params, and the smart-fallback opt-out under Advanced. | Providers & connections |
| Profile | Set your BotBooru / creator handle, used for the {{creator}} field on cards you build. |
Characters & personas |
| Model Settings | Global sampling baseline — temperature, top-p, top-k, max-tokens, and the streaming toggle — used by every chat unless a preset overrides it. | Presets & sampling |
| Presets | Named system-prompt + post-history templates with optional per-preset sampling overrides; includes the locked "Pyre Default". | Presets & sampling |
| Lorebooks | Manage, import, and export lorebooks (World Info). | Lorebooks |
| Long-term Memory | Configure the auto-summarizer (every-N-messages, summary prompt, limits) that keeps long chats coherent. | Long-term memory |
| Character Creator | Creator configuration plus the forkable architect prompts (the locked "Pyre Default" preset, copyable to edit) and the recommended-models guidance. | AI Creator |
| Chat Settings | Chat-side behavior, such as showing or hiding reasoning-model <think> output. |
Chatting |
| Storage | See what's stored on your device and any import/parse diagnostics. | Backup & restore |
| Backup & Restore | Full export/import of your local store as a single file (API keys stripped by default). | Backup & restore |

Platform-specific items
The bottom of the More menu changes depending on where you're running Pyre:
| Item | Platform | What it does | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connect to LAN | Mobile / web | Pair this device to a desktop sync hub (scan its QR code or type the host + port + token). | Cross-device sync |
| Desktop Shortcuts | Desktop | Remappable keyboard shortcuts and the layout toggle (wide vs phone-in-a-window). | Desktop features |
| Network | Desktop | Turn on the LAN sync server (the hub), choose its port and bind, and manage paired devices. | Cross-device sync |
