Settings
Every Tablyne preference: appearance, startup, language, AI, fetching, connection and license.
Settings is Tablyne’s preferences hub — open it with Ctrl+,, from File → Settings, or via the command palette. It’s a modal with seven sections in the left nav; close it with Esc.
Appearance
Controls how Tablyne looks. The interface theme affects the whole app, including the grid and editor.
- Font size — scale the entire UI from 80% to 160% with
A−/A+, or reset (⟲) to the 110% default. - Presets tab — the nine built-in themes as clickable previews.
- My themes tab — create, edit and delete custom themes.
See Themes & appearance for the full reference.
Startup
Controls what happens when Tablyne launches.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Show splash on launch | Toggle Tablyne’s opening animation. |
| Default profile | The AWS profile that connects and loads tables automatically on launch. Choose none (ask) to be prompted instead. Set the region alongside it. |
| Welcome tour | Replay tour restarts the initial setup (profile, language, theme, shortcuts). |
| Anonymous telemetry | Sends only anonymous feature-usage counters — no data, tables, queries or credentials — to guide the roadmap. You can turn it off. |
Language
Switch the interface language between Português, English and Español. Changes apply in real time. See Language.
AI
Configure the LLM providers used to generate PartiQL from natural language. You can add multiple providers and mark one as default.
- + add provider — pick a preset (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, GitHub Copilot, Ollama, or a custom one). Each preset pre-fills its host, subpath and a model list.
- Each provider card lets you set a name, API key, host, subpath and model (choose a known model id or enter a custom one), mark it default, or remove it.
API keys are stored in the operating system credential vault (Keychain / Credential Manager / Secret Service), never in plain text on disk. See AI setup.
Fetching
Read defaults applied to new tabs (each tab can override them in the grid’s ⚙).
| Setting | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Page size | 50 | Items per page on scan / query (1–1000). |
| Streaming | off | When on, pages are auto-fetched up to the limit. |
| Initial limit (stream) | 200 | Cap of items loaded automatically when streaming. |
See Search & query and Pagination.
Connection
Configure the local endpoint for the free Local-only tier (DynamoDB Local / LocalStack).
- Enter an endpoint such as
http://localhost:8000and click apply. When a local endpoint is active, the profile and region are ignored, and a● LOCAL activeindicator confirms it. - Click back to cloud to clear it and return to AWS.
See The local endpoint.
License
Shows your current state — Licensed, In trial (with days remaining), Trial expired or No license — plus your plan and device count when licensed. Click manage to open the full license dialog.
How settings are stored
Most preferences (theme, font scale, startup, fetching defaults, local endpoint, language) are stored locally on your machine and restored on the next launch. AI keys are the exception — they live in the OS credential vault. License state is validated against Tablyne’s API.
Deep links
Some parts of the app open Settings directly on a specific section — for example the AI panel’s “Configure AI” button jumps straight to the AI section.
