Settings & Apps overview

Quick answer

Open Settings & Apps to manage company settings, enable or disable feature apps, connect accounting integrations, and switch between companies if you have more than one.

Who can do this

Company Admins and Company Owners can enable, disable, and configure apps. All team members can view the page but cannot make changes.

Accessing Settings & Apps

Click the Settings & Apps icon in the left sidebar navigation. If you manage multiple companies, a company tab switcher appears at the top so you can configure each company independently.

Understanding the app groups

Apps are organized into three groups: Setup, Power Up, and Integrations. Active apps show a green checkmark icon on their card.

Setup

Core apps always available on any plan:

• Company — company profile, address, general settings, security/SSO.
• Tasks — workflow templates, topics, custom fields, task preferences.
• Clients — client groups, custom fields, client preferences.
• Mini Uku — Chrome extension for task and time management in any browser tab.

Power Up

Feature apps that extend your account. Most require Team or Elite plan. Apps with an Elite badge require an Elite subscription.

Integrations

Connect Uku to your accounting software. See Setting up accounting integrations for setup details.

Enabling and disabling apps

1. Click on the app card you want to configure.
2. A dialog opens with an Overview tab describing the app.
3. Click the activation button to enable the app. A green checkmark appears on the card.
4. To configure an active app, click its card to open the dialog — different apps show different tabs (Settings, Templates, etc.).
5. To deactivate, open the dialog and use the deactivation option in the app settings.

Setup apps (Company, Tasks, Clients, Mini Uku) do not have an activation toggle — they are always available.

Multi-company accounts

If you are a member of multiple companies, a tab switcher appears below the page header. Each tab shows one company. Settings and app activations are independent per company — enabling an app for one company does not enable it for another.
