Settings is where you tune your account and how Frequency reaches you.
What you'll find there
- Profile: your display name, handle, photo, header image (the banner across the top of your profile), bio, and region. This is what other members see.
- Connections & Location: control how you're found by people nearby (see below).
- Notifications: choose what you're told about and how (in-app, email, push). See Notifications.
- Account: sign-in and account-level controls.
- Billing: for membership. During the beta this is a placeholder; everything is free (see Membership & the Vault).
Connections & Location
Frequency helps you find people nearby, and you're always in control of how visible you are. We never share your exact location. Others only ever see a fuzzed area or your city, never a pin on a map.
- Ghost mode: one tap to vanish from proximity and maps entirely.
- Show me in the Community directory: whether you're listed at all.
- Who can find me nearby: no one, only your connections, or the whole community.
- Location precision: the most anyone can see, whether hidden, your city, or a fuzzed neighborhood area (about a mile across).
- Discoverability radius: how far away someone can be and still find you. Your own slider, from a mile up to your whole region.
- Live location (optional, off by default): share your current spot instead of your home city, handy when traveling. It's a one-time snapshot, not a tracker, and your precision setting still applies. Full details in Your location & being found nearby.
Good to know
- Your handle is how people @-mention and find you, so pick something you're happy to be known by.
- Keeping your region current helps surface circles and events near you.
- Notification preferences are always yours to change, and we honor them everywhere.
- Your connection and location settings are always yours to change, and we honor them everywhere. Turn on Ghost mode any time you want to be invisible.
