# Options

The Options page (`F3`) gathers all configuration settings in one place: display, synchronization and MIDI. Navigate options with `Up`/`Down` or `Tab`, change values with `Left`/`Right`. All changes are saved automatically.

## Ableton Link

Cagire uses Ableton Link to synchronize tempo with other applications on the same network. Three settings control the connection:

- **Enabled** — Turn Link on or off. When enabled, Cagire listens for peers and shares its tempo.
- **Start/Stop sync** — When on, pressing play or stop in one app affects all peers.
- **Quantum** — The beat subdivision used for phase alignment.

Below these settings, a read-only session display shows the current tempo, beat position, and phase. The status line at the top shows the connection state: disabled, listening, or connected with peer count.

## MIDI

Four output slots and four input slots let you connect to MIDI devices. Cycle through available devices with `Left`/`Right`. Each slot can hold one device, and the same device cannot be assigned to multiple slots.

## Onboarding

At the bottom, you can reset the onboarding guides if you dismissed them earlier and want to see them again.
