Your profile is how your team sees you across 53°, and your preferences shape how the app looks and behaves for you. Both are yours alone, and they follow you into every organisation you belong to.
Open your account settings
Select your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then Manage account. You can also press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) and type Account.
Update your profile
- In Manage account, open Account.
- Select Upload avatar (or Change avatar) to add a photo. Use a JPG or PNG up to 2MB.
- Update your First name, Last name or Username.
- Select Save changes.
Change your email address
- In Account, enter your new address under Email.
- Select Save changes.
- We'll send a confirmation link to your current address. Open it to approve the change.
Your email doesn't change until you've confirmed it.
Choose light or dark
- In Manage account, open Preferences, then the UI tab.
- Under Theme, choose System, Light or Dark.
For a quicker switch, select your name in the sidebar, then Theme, or press D.
Set your layout
On the UI tab:
- Sidebar: show or hide the main navigation sidebar.
- Actions sidebar: show or hide the actions sidebar on the right.
53° also remembers the choices you make as you work, such as the last tab you used in the actions sidebar, your list or board view, and your filters and sort order. They follow you to any browser you sign in on.
Turn confetti on or off
We celebrate finishes with a burst of confetti. If you'd rather not, turn off Confetti on the UI tab. You'll still see the message that goes with it.
Choose what happens after you create a task
Under After creating a task, choose:
- Open the new task to go straight to it.
- Just close the dialog to carry on where you were.
The Create another switch in the new task form always overrides this.
Add an email signature
Your signature goes under the replies you write from the inbox.
- In Manage account, open Preferences, then the Email signature tab.
- Write your signature. Use the buttons under it for Bold, Italic, Underline and Link. To add a link, select the words first.
- Check the Preview, then choose Save signature.
The preview also shows your organisation's logo, linked to its website. Both come from your organisation's brand settings, and go under everyone's signature. To remove your signature, clear the box and save.
A reply opens in your own email app as plain text, so the email carries your signature's words, with links written out in full, and your organisation's website. It doesn't carry the styling or the logo. See Manage responses in the inbox.
Delete your account
- In Manage account, open Danger zone.
- Select Delete account, then confirm. If your account has a password, you'll be asked for it.
This permanently deletes your account, preferences and avatar, and it can't be undone. If you own an organisation, transfer ownership to another member or delete the organisation first.
Good to know
- Notification settings live on the Notifications tab of Preferences. See Notifications.
- Password, two-factor, passkeys and sessions live in Security. See Sign in and security.
- Tools you connect for yourself, such as Google Calendar, Google Drive and Google Contacts, live in Integrations.
