Inline settings menu

Adjust Untether’s behaviour without editing config files or restarting — tap buttons right in Telegram. The /config command opens an interactive settings menu with inline keyboard buttons, similar to BotFather’s settings style. Navigate sub-pages, toggle settings, and return to the overview, all within a single message that edits in place.

Open the menu

Send /config in any chat:

/config

The home page shows current values for all settings:

Settings

Plan mode: default
Ask mode: default
Verbose: default
Engine: claude (global)
Model: default
Trigger: all

[ Plan mode ] [ Ask mode ]
[  Verbose  ] [  Model   ]
[  Engine   ] [ Trigger  ]

Gemini CLI When the engine is Gemini CLI, the home page shows Approval mode (read-only / full access) instead of Plan mode, Ask mode, and Diff preview.

Navigate sub-pages

Tap any button to open that setting’s page. Each sub-page shows:

• A description of the setting
• The current value
• Buttons to change the value (active option marked with a checkmark)
• A Clear override button to revert to the default
• A Back button to return to the home page

Toggle behaviour

When you tap a setting button:

1. Confirmation toast — a brief popup appears confirming the change (e.g. “Plan mode: off”, “Verbose: on”). This uses the same toast mechanism as Claude Code approval buttons.
2. Auto-return — the menu automatically navigates back to the home page, showing the updated value across all settings. No need to tap “Back” manually.

Engine-aware visibility

Some settings are engine-specific and only appear when relevant:

• Plan mode — available for Claude Code. Hidden for other engines; the sub-page shows a “not available” message with a Back button.
• Approval mode — only available for Gemini CLI. Toggle between “read-only” (default, write tools blocked) and “full access” (all tools approved). This replaces the Plan mode button on the home page when the engine is Gemini.
• Ask mode — only available for Claude Code. When enabled, Claude Code can ask interactive questions with option buttons instead of guessing. Hidden for other engines.
• Reasoning — only available for engines that support reasoning levels (Claude Code and Codex). Hidden for OpenCode, Pi, and others.
• Model — always visible. Shows the current model override and lets you clear it. To set a model, use /model set <name>.

When you switch engines via the Engine sub-page, the home page automatically shows or hides the relevant settings.

Approval mode appears instead of Plan mode when the engine is Gemini CLI.

Cost & Usage page

The Cost & Usage sub-page (added in v0.31.0) merges the previous separate API cost and subscription usage toggles into a unified page. Toggle whether completed messages show:

• API cost — per-run cost in the message footer (requires engine cost reporting)
• Subscription usage — 5h/weekly subscription usage in the footer (Claude Code only)

For historical cost data across sessions, use the /stats command.

Callbacks vs commands

• Text command (/config): sends a new message with the menu.
• Button tap: edits the existing message in place — no message spam.

All button interactions use early callback answering for instant feedback.
