Dashboard

The dashboard is the landing page of solyto, accessible at the root route /. It pulls together data from across all your features into a single three-column view so you can see what your day looks like at a glance.

Layout

The dashboard is organized into three columns. On mobile, the columns stack vertically in the same order.

Your Day (left column)

Everything you need to know about today:

• Weather — Current conditions and today’s forecast from the Open-Meteo API. Click the city name to search for a new location (with a °C/°F toggle). The temperature unit is remembered in your settings.
• Today’s Events — Calendar events for today pulled from all your active calendars. Tap an event to jump to the Calendar view.
• Upcoming Events — The next events after today, so you can plan ahead.
• Due Todos — Todos that are due today or overdue, with a colored priority dot. Mark them complete right from the dashboard (a little confetti celebrates your win).
• Scored Todos — The top 5 most relevant todos, ranked by a smart score that factors in priority, estimated effort, overdue status, and age. This helps surface the tasks that matter most right now.

If nothing is scheduled, the column shows a friendly “Nothing on your plate today” empty state.

Inspiration (center column)

Fresh content to start your day:

• New Music Releases — Up to 5 new album releases from artists in your Music Library.
• New Book Releases — Up to 5 new book releases from authors in your Book Library.
• New Screen Releases — Up to 5 new movies or shows worth knowing about.
• Recent Notes — Up to 5 notes you recently created or updated. Quick access back into your Notes.
• Newest Links — The most recently saved links from your Link Library.
• Daily Quote — A random quote from your Quote Library, refreshed once per day.

Quick Glance (right column)

At-a-glance status widgets:

• Check-In — A quick view of your daily check-in scores: the mean value per scored tracker (color-coded bars) plus your overall total score. Tap through to log or edit today’s entry.
• Time Tracking — Your time tracking totals for the current week with a per-project breakdown. Also shows any active timer.
• Shortcuts — User-defined quick-access links with favicons, shown as a list with hover actions. Manage them with the pencil button.

Onboarding

When you first visit solyto (when the first_visit flag is true), a four-step onboarding modal guides you through setup:

1. Welcome — An introduction to solyto and what it can do for you.
2. Localization — Choose your language, date format, and time format.
3. Features — Toggle which features appear in the navigation. You can choose from 11 features: calendar, todos, notes, libraries, contacts, check-in, finances, clipboard, dev requests, feeds, and time tracking.
4. Ready — A completion screen confirming your setup.

Welcome Tour

After the onboarding modal completes, a guided Welcome Tour starts automatically. It walks you through each enabled feature page step-by-step so you know where everything is.

You can restart the tour at any time from Settings → App → “Take the tour”.

Customizing the dashboard

You control what appears on the dashboard through Settings → Features. Toggling a feature off hides it from both the dashboard widgets and the navigation sidebar. For example, if you disable Finances, all finance-related widgets disappear from the dashboard.

Widget-level customization (reordering, hiding individual widgets) is not currently available.

Mobile behavior

On smaller screens, the three columns stack into a single vertical scroll. The order is preserved: Your Day first, then Inspiration, then Quick Glance. All widgets remain functional — you can complete todos, start timers, and add check-in entries just as on desktop.

Quick Add

The dashboard includes a floating action button (FAB) for Quick Add — a smart content detection tool that lets you paste a URL or text and have solyto automatically file it as a library entry, todo, or note. See the Quick Add page for full details.
