Preferences, privacy and Phone view

Change how answers look, choose where your interview history is kept, use your phone as a remote with Phone view, and delete your data.

Checked against HintCall desktop 0.1.1 and the web app on 27 October 2026

Open Preferences

On the toolbar, open ⋯ → Preferences (or press ⌘/CtrlK and choose Preferences). There are four tabs: General, Account, Help and Advanced. Click Save preferences when you are done.

General

  • Theme: Dark (default), Light for bright screens, or Match system.
  • Show the HintCall name on the toolbar, or show only the mark. The mark always opens the toolbar, and you drag it to move HintCall.
  • Reading answers: text size, space between lines (Compact, Comfortable, Spacious) and the answer layout (one paragraph, or sentence by sentence). A preview shows the result.
Preferences, General: theme and how answers look while you read them out.

Account

  • Plan & credits: your balance and plan, payments, and buying more.
  • Devices: the computers using this account. Remove one here.
  • Sign Out to switch accounts.
  • Recent interviews saved on this computer, with Clear All, and a link to every question and answer on hintcall.com/app.

Help

Quick actions: System check (permissions, connection and call audio), App tour, Replay setup, Keyboard shortcuts and Interview history. Below them are links to these guides, Contact support and Send feedback, and About with your version number and Check for updates.

Preferences, Help: system check, tour, shortcuts, support and your version.

Advanced and privacy

  • Window Transparency: from 60% to 100% opacity.
  • Interview history: where your questions and AI answers are kept after each session.
    • Save to my account (default): review past sessions from any device. It also helps us improve answers and fix problems faster.
    • Keep on this device only: transcripts stay on this computer and HintCall's servers never receive them. Call prep is then kept on this computer too.
    Billing records (session length and credits) are always kept.
  • Clear local data before uninstall: removes sign-in tokens, cached transcripts, on-device history, recordings, your resume, snaps, settings and caches from this computer.
  • Meeting app status: which meeting apps and versions are verified.
Preferences, Advanced: choose where your interview history lives.

Phone view

⋯ → Phone view turns your phone into a remote and a bigger answer screen. Click Connect a phone and follow the steps. From the phone you can Start, Answer, Capture the screen and End with one tap, and read the answer in large text, so your laptop can stay behind the meeting.

Phone view: one tap to answer, and the answer in large text on your phone.

Delete your data

  • On this computer: Clear All under Preferences → Account removes saved interviews, and Clear local data before uninstall under Advanced removes everything else.
  • Your account: in the web app, Settings → Danger zone deletes your account and everything stored with it. You can also email support@hintcall.com from your account email.
