Available on Plus and Pro. Makes your project structure readable by AI tools running in this browser window (like Claude in Chrome). Your data is never sent anywhere — it stays in your browser.

Include full manuscript prose
Your project is not sent anywhere — it is only visible to AI tools running in this browser window, like the Claude in Chrome extension. No data leaves your device. Enabling this may add a small load on saves; enabling full prose may increase that further on large manuscripts.

How appearance stacks
1
Defaults — the look Charc ships with.
2
Theme — overrides the defaults. One pick in General restyles everything at once.
3
Your settings — everything on this tab overrides the theme, and stays put when you switch themes.
So a theme only changes the pieces you haven’t set yourself. That is what the Theme option on each control means: pick it to hand that piece back to the theme. Reset to defaults at the bottom hands back all of them at once.
