Home Dashboard
Your landing surface when a vault opens: one or more boards of resizable widgets that surface what matters — recent notes, bookmarks, tasks, the inbox, and more.
Boards
A fresh vault auto-seeds a single board named Home. You can keep just that one or organize work across several boards.
- Switch boards — pick a board from the board switcher in the header.
- Create a board — use New in the switcher; give it a name (and optional icon).
- Reorder — boards keep a stable position so the switcher order is predictable.
Each board stores its own set of widgets and their layout. Boards are part of your vault, so they sync across your devices.
Widgets
Widgets are the cards on a board. Available types:
| Widget | Shows |
|---|---|
| Recently Edited | Notes ordered by last-modified, most recent first |
| Bookmarks | Your bookmarked notes |
| Tasks | Tasks, with an inline filter and count |
| Inbox | Unfiled inbox items, with a triage row |
| Folder | The contents of a chosen folder |
| Calendar | An at-a-glance calendar of upcoming entries |
| Journal | Today's journal entry and your current streak |
Add a widget
Open the widget gallery (the add-widget control on the board) and click a type. The new card drops in at the bottom of the board and the grid compacts it upward. Adding the same type twice is allowed — each is an independent instance with its own configuration.
Move, resize & remove
The board is a free-form grid (powered by react-grid-layout):
- Move — drag a widget by its header to reposition it; neighbours reflow.
- Resize — drag the grip at the bottom-right corner. Each widget has a minimum size it won't shrink below.
- Remove — use the control in the widget frame.
Layout changes persist automatically.
Density
A widget's content density (how many rows it shows) is derived from its height — make a card taller and it reveals more items. There is no separate size setting to manage.
Robustness
If a board references a widget type the app no longer recognizes (for example after rolling back a version), that card renders a small Unknown widget placeholder instead of crashing the board. The rest of your widgets keep working.
