Short Answer
Kora's Settings provide deep customization for workflows, automation rules, and system behavior. Defaults work out of the box, but you can tailor everything from Watch Folder confidence thresholds to Calendar session types and Export Flow naming patterns.
Kora's Settings are deep because professional music workflows are deep — but they're designed so you can set the essentials once and ignore the rest.
What Settings Control (High-Level)
Kora Settings cover watch folders (DAW sessions + exports), permissions (desktop directory authorization), DAW app links (one or multiple DAWs), profile defaults (role-based setup that shapes templates and planning), views and layout choices (how much information you want surfaced), weighting / urgency preferences (how Kora prioritizes), Focus Flow behavior (pop-outs, timer, auto-open behavior), and onboarding + walkthrough tips (lightweight, replayable).
Watch Folders: Kora automatically links files, projects, and albums when confidence is high — and routes uncertain cases to the Watch Inbox for fast, one-click confirmation.
Why Settings Matter in Kora
Kora isn't just a UI shell — it's a creator operating system. Settings allow Kora to fit a production music composer's album pipeline, a producer's multi-artist workflow, a sound designer's asset delivery system, and a self-releasing artist's cadence and release planning.
"Deep Backend, Calm Frontend"
Kora intentionally hides complexity behind defaults: role-based presets, safe automation gates, and progressive disclosure in UI. You can be productive in Kora with minimal setup — and unlock depth only when you want it.
The Bottom Line
Kora's Settings allow you to customize the system for your workflow without overwhelming you with complexity.
