Workspaces & sharing

Workspaces and sharing in OrientME

A workspace is how you share specific things with other people. It’s not a separate mode you switch into — your lists look the same, and shared items simply carry a small workspace badge. Today, three kinds of things can be shared into a workspace:

Everything else — finance, notes, journal, vision — stays personal.

note

Workspaces are created and managed on the web. The mobile app shows items that are already shared with you, but you can’t create or manage a workspace there.

Create a workspace

Open the Workspaces menu in the sidebar and click New workspace, then give it a name. Once you belong to at least one workspace, you’ll see source-filter chips and sharing controls appear in the relevant areas.

Add and manage members

Open a workspace’s settings to manage it:

  • Members — everyone with access, with owner and admin badges.
  • Add a member — owners and admins invite by username or email. (There’s no self-serve join link — someone already in the workspace adds you.)
  • Remove / leave — owners and admins can remove members; any member can leave. Either way they lose access to the workspace’s shared routines, plans, and trips.
  • Rename and a danger zone to delete the workspace (owner only).

Move things in and out

Once you’re in a workspace, Routines and Trips lists show source-filter chipsAll / Personal / [workspace] — to filter by where an item lives. To re-home an item:

ItemHow
RoutineUse the Move to… control on the routine row
Plan or listUse the Share control to pick Personal or a workspace
TripShare or move it to a workspace from the trips list (or pick one when creating it)
tip

On Routines, the selected source chip also becomes the add target — pick a workspace chip and new routines you create go straight into that workspace.

What sharing means

Shared plans and lists have shared completion — everyone sees the same checked items — while tags stay personal to you. A shared trip also unlocks expense splitting among the workspace’s members. See Trips and Sharing a trip for how trip sharing differs from a public share link.
