Settings
Anonomi settings are not cosmetic preferences.
They control how visible you are, how the app behaves under pressure, and what happens when things go wrong.
Before using Anonomi in a real situation, you should understand what each settings category does — and when it matters.
How to think about settings
Section titled “How to think about settings”Most apps assume:
- Stable internet
- Trusted devices
- No physical access by adversaries
Anonomi assumes the opposite.
Settings exist to help you:
- Reduce metadata exposure
- Control network behavior
- Limit damage if your device is seized
- Adapt to different risk environments
You don’t need to enable everything.
You need to enable what matches your situation.
Settings categories
Section titled “Settings categories”Display
Section titled “Display”Control how the app looks and behaves visually.
- Language & region
- Theme (light / dark / system)
These settings don’t affect security directly, but they matter for usability under stress.
Connections
Section titled “Connections”Control when and how Anonomi uses the network.
This includes:
- Tor connectivity
- Bridge usage
- Internet vs offline operation
- Battery and data constraints
This is one of the most important areas to review before high-risk use.
Security
Section titled “Security”Controls what happens when someone else touches your device.
This includes:
- App lock
- Password changes
- Panic button
- Stealth mode
If you expect device inspection, coercion, or confiscation, review these first.
Notifications
Section titled “Notifications”Controls what Anonomi reveals outside the app.
Notifications can leak:
- Who you’re talking to
- When messages arrive
- Whether the app is in use
Adjust these carefully depending on your environment.
Feature-specific settings
Section titled “Feature-specific settings”Some features have their own configuration pages:
-
Anonomi Postbox
→ Mailbox settings -
Monero payments
→ Monero settings -
Offline maps
→ Offline maps settings
These settings only appear if you use the feature.
When to review settings
Section titled “When to review settings”You should review settings:
- After installation
- Before entering a high-risk environment
- When changing countries or networks
- After a device update
- After adding new contacts
Settings are part of your operational posture — not a one-time setup.
