Making Qbit yours

Dark theme gives the whole app a soft, dark look that’s much kinder on your eyes late at night. It takes one tap and changes instantly.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open Settings from the hamburger menu or from your profile picture menu.
2. Scroll down to the Preferences section.
3. Flip the "Dark theme" switch. The app repaints right away, so you’ll see the difference before you’ve even looked up.

• Try it once in bed. Most people never go back.
• Changed your mind? Flip the same switch back off.

Good to know: Your choice lives on your account, so dark theme is already waiting for you when you sign in on another phone or computer.

The whole app can run in any of 17 languages, and Qbit answers you in the one you pick. If your family speaks more than one language at home, this one’s a treat.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open Settings and scroll to the Preferences section.
2. Tap the "Language" dropdown.
3. Leave it on "Auto Detect" to follow whatever your device is set to, or choose from the list: Czech, German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Swedish, Turkish, Greek, Russian, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese or Korean.
4. Give it a moment. The app reloads and comes back in your new language.

• That quick reload is on purpose, so every screen redraws fresh in the new language.
• Your choice is saved to your account, so it follows you to your other devices.

Good to know: Good to know: Qbit answers in the language you choose here, not the one your phone is set to. Arabic and other right to left languages aren’t on the list yet.

SafeSearch filters explicit images, text and links out of the results Qbit shows you. It’s on from the very start, and it stays locked on until Qbit knows you’re an adult.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open Settings and scroll to the Preferences section.
2. Find the "SafeSearch" row. If it shows a padlock and the word "Locked", tap anywhere on the row and Qbit will tell you why.
3. To unlock it, go to My Profile, open "My Important Dates" and set your own birthday to a date that makes you 18 or over.
4. Come back to Settings, and SafeSearch is yours to switch off if you’d like.

• Tapping a locked row always tells you the reason, so you’re never left guessing.
• On a child account the row reads as managed by the parent, so it’s one less thing for your child to think about.

Good to know: The lock stays on for anyone with no birthday on file, anyone under 18, and every child account. If an adult’s birthday is ever changed to an under 18 date, the lock switches straight back on.

You get to choose how Qbit’s answers look: the typeface, the text size and how much breathing room sits between the lines. There’s even an OpenDyslexic font. A sample line updates as you go, so you’ll see it before you commit.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open Settings and tap the "Personalization" header to open it up. It starts collapsed.
2. Pick a font: System, Sans, Serif or OpenDyslexic. The sample line above changes as you tap.
3. Drag the "Font Size" slider, or tap the A- and A+ buttons to step it one point at a time, anywhere from 14 to 22.
4. Choose Compact, Normal or Relaxed for the line spacing.

• Relaxed spacing plus a bigger size makes long answers much easier to read aloud together.
• Play around freely. You can always set it back if you liked the old look better.

Good to know: These settings live on the device you’re using, so each phone or computer keeps its own look.

Once Qbit can hear you, Voice Mode is ready to go. The permission comes from your phone or computer, and this section shows you exactly where you stand, with a button to ask for it.

1. Open Settings and look for the "Microphone" section.
2. Read the status line. It’ll say one of three things: "Not turned on yet", "Microphone is on", or "Microphone is blocked".
3. Tap "Turn on microphone", then tap allow in the prompt your device shows you.
4. If the status says blocked, the help text on screen walks you through it: open your phone’s own Settings, find Qbit in the app list, and allow Microphone there.

• You’ll find the row once you’re signed in on a browser that can use a microphone.
• Your device is always the one that grants microphone access, which is why this is a status row and a prompt rather than a simple on and off switch.

Good to know: Your voice stays private. Your words become text, and the audio is thrown away, never stored.

Push notifications let Qbit tap you on the shoulder when something matters, like a sign in from a new device. You turn them on device by device, and a banner at the top of the card always tells you exactly where you stand.

1. Open Settings and scroll to the "Notifications" card.
2. Read the status banner at the top. It tells you what’s happening on this particular device.
3. Flip "Enable push notifications on this device", then allow notifications in the prompt your browser shows.
4. With that master switch on, the "Security alerts" switch below it comes to life. Leave it on to hear about sign ins from a new device, sign ins from a new country, or repeated failed password attempts.

• On an iPhone or iPad, add Qbit to your home screen first. The banner walks you through it.
• Alert choices for each child live on that child’s own settings page.

Good to know: If you said no to notifications at some point, the banner will say blocked and the switches go grey. Browsers only ask once, so you’ll turn it back on in your browser’s site settings for qbit.app.

If you mostly come back to pick up where you left off, Qbit can open on Recents instead of Home. It’s a small change that saves you a tap every single time.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open Settings and find the "Home Screen" section.
2. Under "When Qbit opens, show", choose Home or Recents from the dropdown.
3. That’s it. The change kicks in the next time you open Qbit fresh.

• Your choice decides where you land next time, so you’ll stay right where you are for now.

Good to know: This one’s saved on each device, so your phone and your laptop can each start somewhere different.

This is your list of facts for Qbit to use when she answers. The dog’s name, a food you can’t eat, the team you cheer for. Little things that make her answers feel like they’re truly for you.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open the profile menu, tap "My Profile", and expand "Special things for Qbit to know about you".
2. Type one fact into the box, up to 500 characters. For example: My dog’s name is Brutus.
3. Tap "Add".
4. To take something off the list, use the control at the end of that row.

• Keep each one short and separate. One fact per line works better than a paragraph.
• Dietary needs make a great first entry. Ask her for a dinner idea afterwards and you’ll taste the difference.

Sometimes Qbit notices a fact while you’re chatting, like a birthday or a favourite thing. She pops it into a short review list and waits for your yes before she keeps it.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open Settings and look for the "Memory Review" section. It shows up whenever something is waiting for you.
2. Read each row. Qbit shows what she thinks she heard, and dates come laid out with a calendar icon so you can check them at a glance.
3. Tap "Remember this" to keep it, or "Forget" to let it go.
4. Each row disappears as soon as you tap, and you’re all done when the list is empty.

• Some rows also show how confident she was and how long ago she picked it up.
• Anything you keep lands in "Special things for Qbit to know about you" on My Profile, where you can remove it later if you change your mind.

Good to know: No Memory Review section? That just means nothing’s waiting for your answer right now.

Put the dates that matter in one list and Qbit brings them up at just the right moment. Birthdays, anniversaries, the day you adopted the cat, anything you’d hate to miss.

1. Open the hamburger menu and tap "My Profile".
2. Tap "My Important Dates" to expand the section.
3. Type a description into the empty row at the bottom, for example: Mom’s birthday.
4. Set the month, day and year in the three drop-downs beside it. They appear in the order your language normally uses.
5. As soon as both the description and the date are filled in, the row saves itself. There’s no Save button to hunt for.
6. A fresh empty row appears underneath, ready for the next date.
7. If you’d like another blank row straight away, tap "Add another date".

• Editing a date you saved earlier works the same way. It saves itself a moment after you stop typing.
• Do a batch in one sitting. Ten minutes now buys you a whole year of remembering.

Good to know: A row saves once both the description and the date are filled in, so pop the date in too.

Once you’ve saved a few dates, three small tricks keep the list just how you like it: move a row, see more of them, and delete one you’re done with.

1. Open My Profile and expand "My Important Dates".
2. Use the small up and down arrows on a saved row to move it. The new order saves itself right away and follows you to your other devices.
3. When you have more dates than fit on screen, tap "Show more" under the list to reveal the next batch.
4. Tap the × at the end of any row to delete that date.

• The arrows appear on saved rows, so the blank row at the bottom stays put.
• Tap an arrow and head off straight away if you like. Your new order still gets saved.

Good to know: Deleting happens instantly with no undo, so give the row a quick look before you tap the ×.

If you used Qbit before the dates list was rebuilt, any older dates that didn’t come across on their own are waiting for you in a little drawer under the list. Everything you typed is still there.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open My Profile and expand "My Important Dates".
2. Look under the live list. If any old dates are waiting, you’ll see a row telling you how many previous dates there are, with "Tap to review".
3. Open it, then tap "Restore" on each date you want back, or the × to dismiss one you don’t need.

• Restored dates drop straight into your normal list and behave just like the ones you typed today.

Good to know: Most people will never see this drawer. It only shows up when Qbit is holding older dates for you, so if it isn’t there, you’re all set.

One switch decides whether Qbit reminds you about the dates you’ve saved. Leave it on and she does the remembering for you.

1. Open Settings from the hamburger menu or from your profile picture menu.
2. Scroll to the "Notifications" card.
3. Toggle "Birthday & important date reminders".

• Reminders work over email too, so they’re there for you whether or not push notifications are on.

Good to know: This switch is remembered on the device you flip it on, rather than on your account, so each phone or laptop keeps its own setting.

Add your LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram or your own website to your profile, and Qbit can refer to them in conversation. Every one of them is optional.

1. Open the profile menu, tap "My Profile", and expand "Social & Web".
2. Paste the full web address into the box for that platform.
3. To add a platform that isn’t listed, tap "Add Another".
4. To hide a platform you never use, tap the small x next to its empty box.
5. Tap "Save Changes".

• Paste the whole address, starting with the https part, rather than just your handle.

Good to know: The personal website box mentions that reading your page is a future Knowledge Base capability, so for now Qbit has your link but doesn’t read your site.

You’ll spot a "Save Changes" button at the bottom of some settings cards. Here’s the nice part: your typing is already saved as you go. The button is there so you can see it confirmed.

1. Type into any field on My Profile or My Important Dates.
2. Tap "Save Changes" at the bottom of that card.
3. The button turns into a green "Saved!" for a moment. On the Profile card, it also takes you back to Home.

• Walk away without tapping it and your typing will still be there when you come back.

Good to know: The button shows up on cards with boxes you type into. Switches, radio buttons and dropdowns save quietly on their own, since you can already see their state on screen.
