Settings
Settings is where you shape Nametag around how you work. Here’s what you’ll find in each section.
Profile
Section titled “Profile”Your name, surname, nickname, email address, and profile photo. Photo uploads support cropping, so you can frame it the way you want before saving.
Appearance
Section titled “Appearance”- Theme: Light or Dark. Dark is the default.
- Language: choose from all of Nametag’s supported languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese, Norwegian, German, Chinese, Italian, Russian, and Dutch.
- Date format: MDY, DMY, or YMD.
- Name order: Western (first name, then last name) or Eastern (last name, then first name).
- Name display format: Full name, Nickname Preferred, or Short.
Graph mode
Section titled “Graph mode”Also configured from Appearance, graph mode controls how your network graph renders: Individuals shows each person as their own node, while Bubbles groups people together by their group membership. See Network Graph for more.
Security
Section titled “Security”Change your password. You’ll need to enter your current password to confirm the change.
CardDAV
Section titled “CardDAV”Manage your connection to an external CardDAV server and configure sync behavior. See CardDAV Sync for the full picture.
Custom Fields
Section titled “Custom Fields”Define the field templates that appear on every person’s profile. See Custom Fields for details.
A per-user toggle for geocoding, which controls whether Nametag looks up coordinates for addresses to plot them on the map view.
API Tokens
Section titled “API Tokens”Create and manage tokens for accessing the Nametag API programmatically. See the API Tokens page for setup details.
Account
Section titled “Account”- Export data: download your data as JSON or vCard. See Import & Export.
- Import data: upload a JSON or vCard file. See Import & Export.
- Delete account: permanently removes your account and data. This requires typing “DELETE” to confirm and entering your password, a deliberate double check before something irreversible happens.
Billing
Section titled “Billing”Available in SaaS mode only, on nametag.one. Shows your current plan, usage meters against your plan’s limits, options to upgrade or downgrade, payment history, and a place to enter promo codes. Self-hosted installations don’t show this section since all features are unlimited.
