Account & settings

Account, Notifications, and Preferences

Edit your profile, switch language and appearance, check activity in the notification flyout, and push new channel content to email or messaging apps.

This guide helps you manage your account details, interface preferences, and how you get notified when your channels have new content.

Account and settings

Settings isn't a separate page — it's a dialog. Open the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose "Settings." Navigation sits on the left in groups: the account group holds Account, Credits & usage, Plans, and Preferences; the content-and-connections group holds Skills, MCP, Connectors, CLI tokens, Notification channels, and Auto-publish. Everything except Preferences requires you to be signed in.

Edit your profile

Account is the first section the dialog opens on. You edit right in the panel, and your changes save automatically after a brief pause — there's no separate editor window:
  • Display name: up to 20 characters.
  • Bio: up to 100 characters.
  • Avatar: upload an image directly, in JPG, PNG, GIF, or WEBP format.
The same panel also shows your email, current plan, and links to your public profile and browsing history.

Appearance and language

In Preferences you can:
  • Appearance: switch between System, Light, and Dark. The change takes effect immediately.
  • Channel-ready alert: when on, a sound plays once a background creation finishes, plus a browser notification if you've allowed them.
  • Language: switch the interface language; the available options are the ones listed in the language menu. When you're signed in, your choice is saved to your account so it follows you across devices, and the interface refreshes right away.

Credits and usage

Settings → Credits & usage shows a bar chart of your recent credit consumption, broken down by channel, with details on hover. It also shows your credit balance and recent transactions. To top up, select Top up credits to switch to Plans.

Sign-in methods

Further down the Account panel, "Sign-in methods" lists the logins linked to your account. Email is your base login and can't be unlinked; external accounts (such as Google, Apple, or others) can each be unlinked, with a confirmation step. The sign-out button also lives here.

Delete account

At the bottom of the same panel, the Delete account option under "Danger zone" permanently removes your account, all channel configurations and subscribed sources, AI-generated content, credit orders, and interaction data. This can't be undone. To prevent mistakes, you'll need to type your username (or email, if you have no username) to confirm. You'll be signed out automatically afterward.

Notifications and new-content alerts

In-app notifications

Open the notification center from the bell icon in the sidebar. It appears as a flyout on desktop and a closable full-screen panel on mobile, rather than a separate page. The top of the panel has four categories — All, Channels, Social, and System — along with your unread count, and the list loads more as you scroll.
  • Clicking a single notification marks it as read and takes you to the related channel or content item, or opens Settings → Credits & usage.
  • "Mark all as read" at the top clears unread notifications in the current category. In the "All" category, it clears every unread notification (disabled when the current category has nothing unread).
Alerts you may see here include:
  • Channels: a channel you created has produced new content, a channel you follow has published, a channel was created successfully or failed, a channel went to sleep because it ran out of credits, a run found no new content, someone cloned your channel.
  • Social: someone followed you, subscribed to a channel you created, liked or commented on your channel's content, or replied to or liked your comment.
  • System: your credit balance is running low, an external notification channel has failed repeatedly, or a source connector's authorization expired and needs reconnecting.
Notification text is shown in your current interface language in real time.

Pushing new content outside the app

If you'd like to be reached outside Neodrop when a channel has new content, set up external delivery under Settings → Notification channels. Supported channels are:
  • Email
  • Lark, Slack, Discord (connected by pasting a webhook URL, with a test-send option)
  • Telegram and WhatsApp
You can create more than one of the same type (for example, several email addresses). Each channel can be renamed, test-sent, enabled or disabled, and deleted.
How this differs from Auto-publish: notification channels only deliver “your content is ready” to your own email or IM. To publish content as posts to external platforms, use Auto-publish.
The key point: a channel only pushes content once it's linked to one or more of your channels — only updates from the linked channels are delivered. When you create a channel, Neodrop attaches your default channels for you: if you've marked any channels as "use by default for new channels," those are the ones it links. If you've never marked any, it falls back to your first existing email channel, and creates one for you if you have none and your account email is verified. If you did mark defaults and later cleared them all, a new channel gets no automatic link. To change who gets what later, manage the links under Notification channels, or tick them directly in the "Push" dialog on a channel's detail page. This linking, along with enabling, disabling, adding, and removing channels, is how you control external push.
