Orient — your daily hub

Orient is your home screen and the place to start each day. It pulls together everything that matters today — across tasks, routines, plans, journal, and travel — so you can plan in one place instead of hopping between sections. It’s the first thing you see after signing in.

It opens with a personal greeting — Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening, or Good night by the time of day, followed by your first name and today’s date — the same warm welcome you get on the mobile app.

Life at a glance

Just under the greeting is a row of compact tiles — a quick pulse of your day across each area. Tap any tile to jump straight to its full section.

• Today — your open task count, with routines and plan-item progress beneath it.
• Wellness — today’s wellness score and how the day is reading (for example, Balanced), plus a gentle nudge such as supplements still to take, or “Tap to log your day” when nothing’s logged yet — on the phone, that tap takes you straight into the daily check-in.
• Net worth — your current net worth and how it’s changed, with an eye icon to blur the number when you’re not alone. The blur stays in sync with the Finance page.
• Cash flow — this month’s money in vs. out at a glance.

Tiles only appear for the areas you actually use, so the strip stays uncluttered — if you only use tasks, you’ll just see the Today tile.

The daily ritual bar

Three buttons sit just above your day:

• Overview — the default: a calm read-out of your whole day.
• Plan today — opens the Morning Ritual, a short guided flow (see below). In the morning it carries a soft highlight so it’s the obvious first move.
• Evening shutdown — wrap up the day: a quick tally of routines done and tasks still open, a Carry all to tomorrow button (plus a per-task Tomorrow) to roll open work forward, and a one-line reflection that’s saved as a journal entry — so it also shows up in your journal and in on this day next year. Later in the day, this is the button that’s gently highlighted.

The Morning Ritual

The first time you open Orient in the morning, a gentle invitation appears under the glance strip: “Good morning — take two minutes to set up your day?” Tap Start (or the Plan today button any time) and Orient walks you through a few small wins, one calm step at a time:

1. Check in — a quick mood / energy / stress / sleep read (only if you use Health).
2. Log your weight — one tap, prefilled if you already logged it (only if you use Health).
3. Set today — add or remove the tasks you’ll focus on, drawn from overdue work and your active cycle.
4. One thing worth noticing — a single, calm observation pulled from your own data: a net-worth change, an upcoming trip, an on this day memory, or today’s wellness read.

Every step is skippable (and steps you don’t use are hidden), so the flow is as short as your day needs. It ends with a plain recap of what you just did — “checked in · weight logged · 4 on today.” No streaks, no points, no badges — just a calm start with something to show for it.

If mornings aren’t your thing, choose Not now (it won’t ask again that day) or Don’t show this to turn the invitation off for good. The Plan today button always opens it on demand.

What Orient shows

Depending on your day, Orient surfaces sections like:

Section	What it shows
Overdue	Anything past its deadline and still open: tasks, plan items, and sticky-note reminders (each with a Today button to pull it onto today), plus weekly/monthly plan goals you never checked off once that week or month ended — even undated ones — and missed monthly routines (tick them off right here). Each row shows how many days overdue it is
Now / Next	The next few timed items — tasks, routines, plan items, and calendar events with a time — sorted by clock, with a calendar link
Today’s Events	Appears when you have all-day calendar occasions today — birthdays, anniversaries, a concert or appointment — each with its category color, location, and a Tickets link when the event has one. Recurring occasions (like a yearly birthday) show up automatically
Today’s Tasks	Tasks planned for today, anything overdue, plus what’s active in your current cycle — complete or push to Tomorrow in place
Routines Due	Today’s routines, tickable right here
Plan Items	Items from your plans scheduled for today
Travel Context	Your active trip and what’s coming up, plus a compact next flight row when a booked flight departs within the next 7 days — see Trips and Flights
Journal Prompt	A rotating prompt, plus an on this day look-back at journal entries from past years on today’s date
Stale tasks	Only appears when something needs it — tasks in your active cycle you haven’t touched in three or more days, so nothing quietly drifts. Open one to finish or re-plan it

Each section links out to its full page, so Orient stays a launchpad rather than a place you get stuck.

When a section has nothing to show yet, it offers the next step instead: Add a task, Add a routine, and Add a plan item open quick capture with the right type already chosen, and the travel section offers Create a trip when no trip is on deck.

Capture without leaving

Quick capture is built right into Orient with today’s date pre-filled, so a passing thought becomes a task, note, routine, plan item, or trip idea in seconds. See Quick capture for everything it understands.

tip

Make the Morning Ritual your morning move and Evening shutdown your closer. Two minutes at each end of the day keeps your check-in, the board, your routines, and tomorrow all lined up.

Orient is also the first tab in the mobile app, so the same daily hub is with you on the go.
