hone stores its config at ~/.config/hone/config.yaml. The file is created automatically on first run. You can edit it directly or let hone manage it through the UI (active filter selections are written by the app).

Quality thresholds¶

Quality is derived automatically from your solve time. The thresholds define what counts as "fast", "normal", and "slow" for each difficulty:

thresholds:
  easy:
    fast: 10    # minutes — quality 5 if faster than this
    normal: 20  # minutes — quality 4 if between fast and normal; quality 3 if slower
  medium:
    fast: 15
    normal: 30
  hard:
    fast: 20
    normal: 40

Platform URL templates¶

These templates define how problem URLs are constructed from a platform + slug. Modify them if a platform changes its URL structure.

platforms:
  leetcode:
    url_template: "https://leetcode.com/problems/{{slug}}/"
  neetcode:
    url_template: "https://neetcode.io/problems/{{slug}}/question"
  geeksforgeeks:
    url_template: "https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/problems/{{slug}}/1"

The {{slug}} placeholder is replaced with the problem slug (e.g. two-sum).

Active filter¶

The active filter is written by hone when you select a playlist or topic from the dashboard. You can also set it manually:

active_playlist_id: 3   # ID of the active playlist (0 = none)
active_topic_id: 0      # ID of the active topic (0 = none)

Playlist and topic are mutually exclusive — setting one clears the other.
