Build your dashboard

Today shows your day as a timeline. The Dashboard is different: it’s a board of small cards for the things you glance at often, like bills this week, your inbox count or a scratchpad. Open it from Dashboard in the sidebar.

Choose Edit dashboard. The page tells you “Arrange your widgets. Changes save as you go.”

  1. Choose Add widget and pick one from the list.
  2. Drag a widget by its handle to move it. If you’d rather not drag, open its menu (More for the widget’s name) and choose Move earlier or Move later.
  3. Set its size to S, M or L.
  4. Choose Done when it looks right.

Each dashboard holds up to 30 widgets. Fewer is calmer: three to six is plenty for most people.

A dashboard in edit mode with Top 3, Due soon, Quick capture, Bills due and Scratchpad widgets in small and medium sizes
For your day For your head For money and life
Today’s agenda Quick capture Bills due
Top 3 Inbox Money this month
Due soon (next 7 days) Scratchpad Renewals soon
Habits today Pinned docs Clock & world times
Focus this week Pinned links Mini calendar

Some widgets have Settings in their menu. Today’s agenda and Due soon let you set How many items and limit them to one Space. Bills due, Renewals soon and the two pinned widgets take How many items. Clock & world times takes extra Time zones, such as Europe/London for a client abroad.

If you’ve turned a module off, its widget leaves the list. With Habits and routines off, for example, Habits today isn’t offered.

In edit mode, tabs appear along the top, one per dashboard. Choose New dashboard to add one, then rename it with Dashboard name. You can have up to 20. A common split is one tab per Space: “Work” with agenda, due soon and focus, “Home” with bills, renewals and habits.

Delete dashboard removes only that board and its widgets. Your tasks, notes and other things stay where they are.

Today is the start page by default. If you’d rather land here, choose Edit dashboard and turn on Open Thendoo on the dashboard. You can switch back at any time.
