Settings
Settings hold what differs per person or per machine: the theme, your keys, the agent CLIs and what agents may do.
Press Ctrl, to open Settings, and CtrlF inside to search them. Some settings belong to a machine: they apply to every device connected to it, and the page says so.

Language and region
Ruimte speaks English and Dutch. Set the language and the region apart: the language picks the words, the region the order of dates and how numbers are written. The region follows the language unless you set it.
Usage and models
Usage adds up what your agents cost per model and provider, with the plan limits your CLIs report. Compare models, in the command palette, compares models on intelligence, coding, agentic work, cost and speed.
Processes
The Processes panel shows the CPU and memory of each terminal and agent. A process that seems stuck gets a warning. Ruimte stops a process only when you click the button.
