Account and preferences
Your display name, your avatar, the theme, and the timezone every number is read in.
All pages
Everything about you rather than about a website lives in one place: the settings dialog, opened from your avatar in the dock at the bottom of the app. It has four panels — Preferences, Profile, Teams, Billing. Teams is covered in Websites and teams, Billing in Billing and plans.
Preferences
Theme
Light, dark, or system. System follows your operating system and switches with it, including part-way through a session.
Theme is stored in the browser, per device. Setting dark on your laptop does not darken the app on your phone, and signing out does not reset it.
Timezone
This is the most consequential setting in the app, because every number you read is bucketed by it. “Yesterday”, the day boundaries in the chart, the hours in the weekly heatmap, and the range a filter applies over are all resolved in this timezone.
It defaults to the timezone your browser reports, so it is usually already right. Change it when the site’s audience does not live where you do: a US business run from Lisbon reads its own days more usefully in America/New_York than in Europe/Lisbon.
Timezone only changes how existing events are grouped for display. It never rewrites what was recorded, so switching it back restores exactly the numbers you had.
Profile
Display name
The name shown on your avatar and in the member list of any workspace you are in. Teammates see it, visitors to your site never do.
Logo URL
A link to an image used as your avatar. The panel previews it live at the three sizes the app actually renders it at — dock, website switcher, and page header — so you can see whether it survives being shrunk before you save it.
Leave it empty and you get a monogram built from your name instead, which is the safer choice for a small avatar. sonex does not fetch avatars from a third-party service on your behalf, so nothing about you leaks to one.
Signing in
Sign-in is Google only. There is no password to change or lose, and sonex never sees one.
Deleting your account
Settings → Profile → Delete account. Type your email to confirm, and the whole account is purged in one transaction: websites, events, sessions, reports, links, pixels, and the account itself. Nothing is recoverable afterwards, and teams you solely own go with it. Cancel a paid subscription first; the erasure refuses while one is active, because billing lives with the payment provider and would carry on without an account to bill. See Privacy and data for what is held in the meantime.
