AI context
Two free-form text fields that get passed into the LLM whenever it generates summaries, notes, or workflow suggestions:- Internal jargon — product names, codenames, internal acronyms. Helps Runa transcribe and capitalize them correctly.
- About your role — a sentence or two about what you do and what you care about. Helps Runa decide what’s signal vs. noise when summarizing.
Summary templates
Lists the five built-in templates (General, Detailed, Bullets, Executive Summary, Decisions) plus any custom ones you’ve created. From here you can:- Tap + New template to author a new one.
- Edit the prompt and structure of any template inline.
- Pick one as your default — every new meeting summarized after that uses it.
Notifications
Per-event toggles for things Runa can notify you about (meeting ended, workflow suggestion, etc.). There’s also a Silenced nudges section near the bottom. If you’ve muted reminders for a specific app or meeting series, they appear here as small chips with an Unmute button so you can re-enable them.Data & privacy
Controls how long Runa keeps your content. Everything past the chosen window is deleted automatically.| Setting | Default | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Transcript retention | Forever | Forever / 7 days / 30 days / 90 days / 1 year |
| Notes retention | Forever | Forever / 7 days / 30 days / 90 days / 1 year |
| Save audio files | 1 day | 1 day / 7 days / 30 days / Forever |
Billing
Shows your personal plan and any organizations whose billing you can manage (org Owners and Admins only). For each one, you’ll see:- Current plan name and tier (Free / Pro / Team / Enterprise).

Account
- Display name — editable inline with Save / Cancel.
- Email — read-only; synced from your sign-in provider.
- Avatar — synced from Google or Microsoft.
- Export my data — exports a copy of your meetings, transcripts, summaries, and notes in a machine-readable format.
- Delete account — removes your account and personal data. Org data tied to other members may persist; see Data Retention and Deletion.
Audio device selection (which mic, which output) is handled in your operating system’s sound preferences, not in Runa. Runa uses whatever device the OS reports as default at the moment a meeting starts.
