Configuration
Customize Glance to your workflow
Settings File
Glance stores its configuration in a JSON file:
config locationbash
# Windows
%APPDATA%/Glance/config.json
# Linux
~/.config/glance/config.jsonLLM Provider
Set your preferred LLM provider. Glance works without one, but connecting a provider unlocks full capabilities.
config.jsonjson
{
"provider": "claude",
"apiKey": "sk-ant-...",
"model": "claude-sonnet-4-20250514"
}Custom Hotkey
Change the summon hotkey from the default Ctrl + Alt + M:
config.jsonjson
{
"hotkey": "ctrl+shift+space"
}Voice Settings
config.jsonjson
{
"voice": {
"enabled": true,
"engine": "whisper",
"language": "en",
"autoListen": true
}
}Hot reload
Changes to the config file are picked up automatically — no restart needed.
