Open ORBIT How to use it

Inside the app

Feature tour

Layout follows your captures: landscape shots sit in a wider column; grouped landscapes use a carousel. Portrait shots use a narrower column.

ORBIT sign-in: Google or local demo

Portrait capture · Google sign-in or local (demo) mode.

Sign-in

  • Google → Drive sync + optional Calendar tools.
  • Local demo → seed data in localStorage.
  • Search / dashboard clicks switch tabs to the right entity.
  • Footer: Privacy & Terms on the app host.
  • Left rail (nav + Captain’s notes) called out in the tools carousel below.
Dashboard: daily focus, project pulse, dues by weekday

  • Project pulse · Quick due (this week by weekday).
  • Click task body → opens Tasks with context (not the star).
  • Quote / APOD on the banner when configured.
  • Calendar weekly grid
    Weekly · time blocks & focus blocks

Calendar & sync

  • Weekly · daily · monthly views.
  • Time blocks vs focus blocks (link a task).

  • Calendar APIs → push / export when enabled.
  • Local mode → no Drive/Calendar push.
  • Repeat = weekday; one-off = pinned date (editor toggle).

    Scoped to one project

Tasks

  • Filters: all · project · track · category · lane columns.

Projects

  • Deadlines · roll-up progress · task lists per project.
  • Archive → off dashboard / pulse; unarchive anytime.
  • Categories + Org Deck associations.
Study tracks

Study tracks

  • Learning queues (courses, reading) — same task model as projects, different intent.
  • One parent: project or track or lane.
  • Progress = moving through material, not only closing tickets.
Admin lanes

Admin lanes

  • Life upkeep rows (not “ship a project” / not a syllabus).
  • Buckets · lane cards · drag between lanes when shown.
Org Deck categories

Org Deck

  • Category names · colors · scopes (project / study / admin).
  • See what’s linked per tag.
  • Small stable palette = faster scanning everywhere.
  • Search Center
    Search → pick a hit → app opens the right tab
  • Captain notes overlay beside sidebar navigation
    Captain’s notes · same left rail as Today, areas, More tools, footer (when notes closed)
  • App Controls
    Themes · import/export · clear · Help

Search · notes · controls

  • Search Center — one query across tasks, projects, tracks, lanes, blocks.
  • Captain’s notes — few timestamped scratch notes; sidebar shell matches main nav.
  • App Controls — themes, JSON import/export, clear, Help.

Containers

Projects · tracks · lanes

One parent per task (or none). Same mechanics — different job.

Projects

  • Deliverables · deadlines · pulse.
  • Archive when done.

Study tracks

  • Curriculum / reading queues.
  • Progress through material.

Admin lanes

  • Life ops · upkeep buckets.
  • Not a ship date, not a course unit.
