15. Account & Settings
Tap the Account icon in the top right of the home screen to open all account settings.
15.1 Profile
The Profile section shows your email address and display name. Tap the pencil icon next to your name to edit it.
15.2 Appearance
Go to Account → Preferences → Appearance. Choose:
- Light — always use the light theme regardless of device settings.
- System — follow your device's system dark/light mode setting automatically.
- Dark — always use the dark theme.
Your preference is saved and applies across all your devices.
15.3 Keep Screen Awake
When enabled, your device screen stays on while Bee Inspector is open — even if you have not touched it. Enable this before heading to the apiary so you can move between hives without unlocking your phone.
Find the toggle at Account → Preferences → Keep Screen Awake.
Note: Keep Screen Awake uses more battery. If you are working a long day, consider disabling it between apiaries or carrying a portable charger.
15.4 Sign Out and Delete Account
Scroll to the bottom of the Account screen.
- Sign Out — returns you to the login screen. Nothing is changed or deleted; your data is waiting for you next time you sign in.
- Delete Account — permanently erases your apiaries, hives, inspections, queen records, notes, and harvest records, along with your login itself. You'll be asked to confirm what will be deleted and then re-enter your password before it proceeds. There is no way to recover this data afterward, so export anything you want to keep first.
Important: Deleting your Bee Inspector account does not cancel an active Apple or Google subscription. Cancel it separately in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on iPhone/iPad, or in the Google Play Store → Subscriptions on Android — otherwise billing will continue.
