The Settings page is where you control how Selah behaves for you. Open it by clicking Settings in the sidebar. On desktop, a left-hand sub-navigation lists every category. On mobile, you see a scrollable list of categories — tap one to open it, then use the back arrow to return. Changes save automatically unless a section has an explicit Save button (such as your public profile).

Settings categories

Settings are organized into three groups: You, Your study, and Advanced.

You

Account

Your email, sign-in method, and sign-out. Selah keeps these private — they are never used to train the companion.

Profile

Display name, avatar, and bio shown on your shared notes. See Public profile for details.

Preferences

Theme, density, and reading font size. These controls are coming soon.

Your study

Study defaults

Your preferred Bible translation and default note stage. The translation applies across notes, companion, and devotionals. See Bible translation for details.

Companion

AI behavior, tone, and proactive check-in schedule. Controls when and how Selah reaches out.

Telegram

Connect your Telegram account to chat with Selah and receive your daily devotional. See Connect to Telegram.

Notifications

Daily devotional delivery time and weekly digest preferences.

Prayer

Default prayer list and reminder cadence. These controls are coming soon.

Advanced

Data & privacy

Export all your data or delete your account. These controls are coming soon.

Integrations

Connect external Bible tools like YouVersion and Logos. These integrations are coming soon.

Billing & plan

View your current plan. All core features are included on the Free plan.

Account

The Account section shows your name, email, and avatar. Your email is used for login and the weekly digest. Passwords are managed by your sign-in provider. The Danger zone at the bottom of this section includes:
  • Sign out — Ends your current session on this device.
  • Delete account — Permanently removes your account, notes, prayers, and history. This action is coming soon and cannot be undone.

Companion settings

The Companion section controls Selah’s AI behavior. It includes:
  • Proactivity — Toggle proactive check-ins on or off and set the hours when Selah is allowed to send nudges via Telegram. See proactive check-ins for details.
  • Voice — Tone, response length, and theological perspective (coming soon).
  • Context — Reading memory range, cross-note references, and prayer journal inclusion (coming soon).
  • Reset — Clear companion conversation history without affecting your notes (coming soon).
Proactive check-ins require a connected Telegram account. If Telegram isn’t linked, you see a prompt to connect it first.

Notification settings

The Notifications section lets you configure when Selah reaches out.

Daily devotional

When enabled, Selah generates a short, personalized verse and reflection each morning based on what you’ve been studying. Options you can set:
  • Deliver at — The hour you want the devotional to arrive, in your local time.
  • Your week closes on — The day that ends your study arc. The devotional on this day reflects on the whole week, and the next morning opens a new theme.
Your timezone is detected automatically. If Selah can’t detect it, it falls back to UTC.
If your Telegram account is connected, the devotional is delivered to both Selah and your Telegram chat. You can also trigger today’s devotional anytime by typing /devotional in the companion.

Weekly digest

A weekly summary of what you’ve studied, captured, and prayed. This feature is coming soon.

Email preferences

Every email from Selah includes an Unsubscribe link in the footer. Clicking it immediately opts you out of all future emails from Selah. Selah also includes standard List-Unsubscribe headers, so email clients like Gmail and Apple Mail display a built-in unsubscribe button. Both methods work the same way.
Unsubscribing stops all emails from Selah, including beta invite codes. If you unsubscribe while on the waitlist, you won’t receive your invite when a spot opens. Email team@mail.selah.so to resubscribe.
