You can access settings by clicking your profile icon when on desktop, or the hamburger menu icon when on mobile.
An initial menu will appear allowing you to view all Settings sections, review your connected calendars, access Help & Support, change the color theme of your Pillars or Logout of your account.
The Settings option takes you deeper with sections divided into three categories: Existence Settings, Account and Support
Existence Settings
Calendar
Control how your calendar looks and behaves day-to-day.
Start Week On/ Design Day — Default is Sunday, can be adjusted to any day
Auto detect Timezone - Enable or disable
Timezone — Keep Time Blocks anchored to where you live
Default duration — Set the default length for new Time Blocks
Default Snapping —Set the default interval of time when dragging Time Blocks
Time format — 12-hour or 24-hour display
Date format — Adjust how dates display
Personalize
Have Existence reflect you:
Pillar colors — Customize the color of each pillar: Work, Life, Health, and Sleep.
Pillar goals — Define how you want to distribute your time across the four core pillars: Work, Life, Health and Sleep. This becomes your baseline intention for the week and the basis of your Time Alignment Score.
Appearance — Light mode, dark mode, or system default.
Tags
Search, review, and manage the tags you've built across three dimensions: People, Activities, and Places.
People — Add or update email and relationship details for people in your life.
Activities — Delete, retroactively tag, or add new activity tags to better categorize how your time is spent within each pillar.
Places — Add, update or delete the places you spend your time.
The more complete your tags, the richer your data becomes. Small details — an address, an email, a clear activity name — are what let Existence surface patterns and insights that actually mean something.
Notifications
Existence can nudge you to stay accountable to your time. All notifications can be disabled or enabled by a user.
In-app notifications (enabled by default unless indicated)
Inactivity nudges — A reminder when no activity has been recorded each day.
Design your week — A reminder to plan the week ahead.
Energy rating prompts (disabled by default) — After a Time Block ends be notified to rate your energy. Can be enabled or disabled per Pillar type.
Email (enabled by default)
Marketing information — Announcements or product updates from Existence.
Design Your Week — Weekly emails to recap the prior week and help you plan the week ahead.
Account
Personal information
Your name, birthdate, and desired lifespan are inputted here. This section also contains the option to permanently delete your account — which removes all your data and cancels your subscription if it hasn't been canceled already. This action cannot be undone.
Calendars
See all Google Calendars connected to your Existence account. From here you can review access levels for each calendar, adjust them, set your primary calendar, and connect additional Google Calendars.
Note: Your Primary Calendar is where new Time Blocks will be added to by default. If you choose the Existence calendar to be your primary, then by default new Time Blocks will only appear there and not back in Google.
Existence currently only supports Primary Google Calendar. Additional calendar integrations like Outlook and Apple, as well as Google secondary or shared calendars are on the product roadmap.
Subscription
Everything related to your membership in one place: your current plan, renewal date, and options to manage billing, switch between monthly and annual terms, or cancel.
