Settings
Typography and Layout
Fonts, the default text style, widget text size, and every slider that controls the size of sidebar items, cards, columns, and notes.
Settings ▸ Typography controls how text looks throughout Kan Do. Almost everything is a slider with a live value, and they're the same width on every platform.
Fonts
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Text Font | System, Serif, Rounded |
| Code Font | SF Mono, Menlo, Courier, JetBrains Mono, JetBrains Mono Extra Light |
| Default Text Style | Title, Heading, Subheading, Body. The style a new note starts in |
JetBrains Mono is bundled with the app, so it's available on every device. Changing the Default Text Style takes effect immediately, even in a note that's open.
Widgets
Widget Text Size: 80% to 160%. Widget text also follows your device's system text size, including the accessibility sizes, and this slider stacks on top of that. Each widget shows as many rows as your text size allows.

Where these settings live
Typography settings are per device. Your Mac and your iPhone can have different sizes, which is usually what you want.
Two changes make the biggest difference on a Mac: set Column Width to around 300 for more columns on screen, and set Line Width to about 640 so long notes read like a document instead of stretching across the whole pane.
