## Overview

### About Account Preferences
The Account Preferences settings page allows you to personalize how time, schedules, calendars, visual themes, keyboard shortcuts, and billing plan subscriptions function across the application. Any adjustments you make are automatically saved and applied instantly to your calendar grid, scheduling tools, booking links, and AI assistant interactions.

### Timezone, Clock, and Week Start Preferences

#### Configuring Time and Display Options
You can control how dates and times are calculated and displayed in your workspace. 

1. Open the user menu in the sidebar and select **Settings**, then navigate to the **Preferences** tab.
2. Select your preferred **Timezone** from the dropdown list. All times in the calendar view and AI suggestions adjust automatically to this zone.
3. Choose your preferred clock format under **Time format** (`12-hour` or `24-hour`).
4. Select which day your calendar weeks should begin on under **Week start** (`Monday`, `Sunday`, or `Saturday`).

> [!NOTE]
> When you first open the app, your browser's local timezone is automatically detected and suggested until you explicitly save a preference.

### Working Hours

#### Setting Your Schedule
Your working hours dictate when new booking links and assistant suggestions begin and end each day.

1. Go to **Settings** → **Preferences**.
2. Locate the **Working hours** section.
3. Use the start and end dropdown selectors to specify your daily schedule (for example, `09:00` to `17:00`), or pick a preset button like `9 to 5` or `8 to 6`.
4. Changes save automatically as you make them.

### Calendars and Default Accounts

#### Managing Providers and Defaults
The **Accounts** settings tab lets you connect, disconnect, rename, and prioritize your external calendar providers.

Supported providers: Google, Microsoft 365, Outlook.com, Apple
Sources: `app/api/lib/providers/types.ts`

1. Go to **Settings** → **Accounts** to view all connected accounts and their health status.
2. Click **Add account** to link an additional provider calendar.
3. Use the **Default calendar** dropdown to choose where new events and booking links are automatically created.
4. Under the individual account listings, you can rename your calendars to match how you talk about them. (Note that renaming changes how calendars appear within the app; your provider retains its original name on its own platform).

> [!WARNING]
> If a connected account displays a warning indicator, use the **Reconnect** option immediately to ensure your calendar events continue to sync properly.

### Display Themes

   - **Light**
   - **Dark**
   - **System** (automatically matches your operating system setting)
