Health
The Health tab is the inbox's actionable punch list — failed sync jobs, broken source URLs, and items that need user input.
What Shows Up
The Health view collects:
- Failed sync jobs — items that couldn't push, pull, or upload an attachment
- Broken source URLs — saved links that no longer resolve (404, DNS failure)
- Missing fields — items captured without required metadata (rare; usually from older builds)
- Stale items — past the threshold from Settings → Tasks
- Quota warnings — when the vault is approaching its storage limit
If everything is healthy, the tab is empty.
Failed Sync Jobs
Each failed job shows:
- The item the job was for (with a link)
- The error message
- A Retry button
- The number of retry attempts so far
Retrying re-queues the job. If retries keep failing, the underlying cause is likely:
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Network unreachable" | Offline | Reconnect |
| "Unauthorized" | Sign-in expired | Sign in again |
| "Quota exceeded" | Vault at storage limit | Free up space or upgrade |
| "Blob hash mismatch" | Rare corruption | Push from the source device |
Broken Source URLs
Saved links that fail an integrity check (HEAD request returns 4xx / 5xx, or DNS fails) get a broken-URL chip.
Per-item actions:
- Open archived copy (if available)
- Update URL (paste a new link)
- Convert to note (capture whatever you remember as content)
- Archive (acknowledge it's gone)
Missing Fields
Older builds occasionally captured items with required fields missing. The Health tab surfaces them and offers a one-click form to fill in missing metadata.
You won't see these on a fresh install — they're a migration artifact.
Stale Items
Items older than the Stale Inbox Days setting show a stale chip. Stale doesn't break anything; it's a periodic reminder.
The default is 30 days; tune it in Settings → Tasks.
Quota Warnings
Approaching the vault's storage limit triggers a warning row. From there:
- See storage breakdown by category — same as Settings → Vault
- Find largest items (helpful for attachment cleanup)
- Empty Trash and clear orphaned attachments
When to Visit
- After a long offline stretch (sync jobs to retry)
- After a sign-in or device-rotation event (auth-related failures)
- Periodically (stale items, quota)
A quick weekly pass through Health keeps things tidy.
