Today glance
Open the Today panel on the Notebook tab to see what is on for today. It shows three stat tiles and a grouped task list drawn from your laptop schedule, so you can check whether you have a culture to split or a timer to start without opening your computer.
At the bench you rarely need your whole project plan. You need to know the next thing, whether something slipped, and what is around the corner. The Today panel gives you exactly that and nothing more. It is a full-screen overlay you open from the Notebook tab header, kept current by the laptop so what you see on the phone matches what your notebook knows.
How to open it
The Today panel is opened by the Today button in the Notebook tab's header. When any tasks are due or overdue, the button shows an amber count badge so you can see at a glance that something needs attention. Tapping the button slides the panel down over the screen. It is not a pull-down of the Notebook body content; it is a separate overlay.
Dismiss the panel by tapping the scrim behind it, swiping down from the grab handle at the bottom, or tapping the handle itself.
What the panel shows
The panel opens with three stat tiles across the top, then drops into grouped task rows.
- Today. The count of tasks scheduled for the current day, shown in sky blue.
- Overdue. The count of tasks whose date has already passed, surfaced in red so nothing quietly slips.
- Coming up. The count of tasks on the near horizon, in amber, so you can see what is arriving before it does.
Below the tiles, tasks are grouped the same way: overdue rows at the top in red, today's rows in blue, and upcoming rows in amber. Each row shows the task name and a right-aligned label (overdue tasks say "Overdue", today's tasks show their type, upcoming tasks show a short date like "Jun 16").
How it stays current
The phone does not compute your schedule. The laptop does, then publishes a sealed today snapshot, a small bundle of today's tasks plus the overdue and upcoming items. The phone pulls that snapshot and unseals it with its own key. Because the snapshot is sealed end-to-end, the relay passes it along without ever being able to read your task list, and the panel on the phone reflects whatever the laptop last published.
The Home tab also surfaces a Today card with the same data, so you see your schedule the moment you open the app without navigating to the Notebook tab first.
The today glance is the read-only counterpart to planning you do on the laptop. The schedule itself is built and edited there, on the calendar and across your projects, and the panel is simply that plan, delivered to your hand at the bench.
