Written by Arman Vardanyan

Home is the page you land on after you sign in: your own board of cards over your work. Nobody else can see it or change it. Example: on Monday morning your Home shows a Needs attention card with the Acme launch task that is three days overdue, next to an Emails to review card with Dana's email asking whether the launch deck still ships Friday, and you open both without leaving the page.

Home is the first entry in the header (the Binee logo goes there too). The title greets you by first name, and the information button next to it explains how Home works.

Get started with Binee

While you are new to Binee, a Get started with Binee card sits at the top of Home. A progress ring around the Binee mark shows how far along you are ("2 of 11 done") and names the next step, and the steps sit below it in three groups: Get set up (create your account, which is already done, connect your first tool, watch your work come in and open your first item), Get things done (resolve your first item, search your work, create an item from New and ask the Binee Assistant something) and Your Home (add a card to Home, configure a card and ask the Binee Assistant to build a card). Resolve your first item ticks once you have resolved any item in Binee, and Add a card to Home ticks once your saved Home holds a card beyond the starting ones (moving, resizing or configuring a starting card does not count, and the tick follows your Home as it is now, so removing every card you added opens the step again). The last four tick from a record Binee keeps of the first time you did each: Configure a card ticks the first time you save a change to a card that was already on your Home (adding a card does not count), Ask the Binee Assistant to build a card ticks when a card the Binee Assistant built lands on your Home after you confirm it, Create an item from New ticks when a tool confirms something you created from New, and Search your work ticks the first time you type a search in All Work or Inbox. Once ticked they stay ticked. A finished step is ticked and struck through. Steps that wait on you have an action beside them (Connect a tool, Open the first item, Open All Work, Add a card, Open the Binee Assistant) and the main button at the top does the next one; Watch your work come in has no button of its own, because Binee does that step, and it shows what Binee measured instead (with Try again and Manage connections if a connection fails), and Open your first item has its action only once there is an item to open. Each step ticks only when it really happened. While the first sync runs it shows the items found so far and, once a sync has finished, the item count, the number of connections and an as of time. If a connection cannot be read it names the connection and the reason, with Try again and Manage connections in place. The last step has an Open the Binee Assistant button; the example questions that match what you chose in Step 1 of setup (what you want Binee to help with) are on the Assistant's first screen, in the same list as its starting points, so Home does not repeat them in a strip of its own. The arrow at the top right collapses the card (Binee remembers that in your browser) and the x hides it for good; it disappears by itself once every step is done. While steps remain, the top bar also shows a small progress ring that opens the card from any page (on a computer it carries your count, "2/11"; on a phone it is the ring alone): from another page it takes you to Home, and on Home it scrolls to the card and opens it if it was collapsed. The ring is gone once every step is done or you hid the card. Example: after you connect your mail and your task tool, the card says how many items arrived from both, offers to open the top one, and suggests asking which clients are waiting on your reply across email and tasks.

Your starting Home and the Home tour

If you picked what Binee should help with during setup or connected a tool there, and had not arranged Home yourself, Home starts with the Due today card first and then up to four cards, two to a row: first the cards your choices ask for that your connected tool feeds, then the cards your connected tool feeds that you did not ask for, then the rest of your choices, each in the order you picked them. Choosing email follow-ups asks for Emails to review, meetings for Upcoming meetings, and deadlines for Needs attention and Tasks; connecting a mailbox or calendar adds Emails to review and Upcoming meetings, and connecting a task tool adds Tasks (ClickUp also adds Needs attention, and Clio also adds Upcoming meetings), so a mailbox connection never leaves you without email cards even if no choice named email. If you picked nothing and only connected a tool, Home starts with just the cards that tool feeds. You can move, resize, configure or remove any card, or use Reset layout to go back to the standard Home.

Home has two short tours and two mini-tours. The first tour starts by itself the first time you open Home after the top bar tour (see the What is Binee page), though not while you are in the middle of adding a card that sent you to connect a tool. It walks through six things: This is Home (what is due today, what is overdue and what is still open, and Plan my day, which has the Binee Assistant line your day up), your connected tools (the logos under the title: click one to open its settings), Cards (a card watches one slice of your work as a live list, a number, a chart or a calendar, and its title opens everything it counts), arranging your Home (drag a card by its header to move it and drag an edge to resize it; on a phone Home is one column), the New button (New creates something in one of your connected tools without leaving Binee, like a task for the client request you just read, and clicking it shows what your tools can create) and the Get started with Binee card while it is on screen. If you have not connected a tool, the last step says Binee has nothing to show until you do and offers a Connect a tool button. When it finishes, the second tour, Home cards, follows with three steps that each point at something on screen: Add card (opens the card library), the three dots on a card (Configure card changes what it shows and how it looks) and building a card by chatting (describe the card to the Binee Assistant in your own words, and it adds the card once you confirm). These tours only point at the buttons that open a window, and the window explains itself the first time you open it. The card library has a two-step mini-tour (browse and search the sections, then pick a card with Add to Home or Connect tool), and Configure card has a four-step mini-tour (Display, the tools that feed the card, the narrowing filters, and the preview with Save card). Each plays inside the open window the first time you open it after the top bar tour, never while another tour is showing. Skip tour and Escape close the tour you are on and it does not start by itself again; Settings, then Help and support, has Tours to replay each one (Home, Home cards, The card library and Configure card; the last two open the window for you, and Configure card opens on the first card you can see and needs a card on your Home, otherwise it says to add one first). Example: after choosing meetings and connecting your calendar, you open Configure card on the Upcoming meetings card and the tour points at the Display setting, the tools feeding the card and the filters that limit it to one account.

Your day at a glance

The panel at the top of Home counts your active work: how many items are due today (a due date, an event start or a follow-up date today; an email never counts, because an email only has a received date), how many are overdue and how many are active, each linking to All Work with that filter applied. Under the counts, one or two sentences say what the numbers do not: how much of today's work is urgent and which tools it comes from, your next meeting today with its time, the item to start with, and whether anything is overdue (with how many days the oldest has waited). They are written by fixed rules from your own work, not by AI, and nothing is shown when there is nothing to add beyond the counts. Example: "Two of today's items are urgent, from ClickUp and Gmail, and you have Weekly sync at 2:00 PM. Nothing is overdue." While Binee is still bringing your work together, a line under the counts says so. Plan my day opens the Binee Assistant with a request to plan your day from your connected tools and current work already in the message box; nothing is sent until you send it.

Suggested starting points lists up to three items from your Inbox that are urgent or dated, with the tool's logo, the tool's name and the item's priority. Selecting one opens it in the item pane, where Back and Forward move through the items you have opened, like a browser. When there is nothing urgent or dated, the panel says so. While your tools are still on their first sync it says Binee is bringing your connected work together instead of claiming there is nothing to do.

A small status line under the title reports where your work comes from: Work from your connected tools when all is well, Some tools need attention or Connect tools to bring your work here when it is not. Select it for the details (which tool is waiting for its first sync, needs to be renewed, or has more items available in the source tool) and a Manage connections link. The details open as a small panel over the page; click anywhere else or press Escape to close it, and opening any other menu closes it.

Your overview: the board of cards

Below that, Your overview is your saved board. A new Home starts with four cards: Needs attention (urgent work across your tools), Due today (tasks due today and meetings today; an email is never "due"), Emails to review and Upcoming meetings. Most cards list the matching items from your own work, with the tool's logo, the item's name, its tool and kind, how soon it is due, and a purple dot when it is unread. Two cards are laid out differently because the data reads better that way: Due today shows tasks and meetings side by side in two columns (they stack when the card is narrow), and meeting cards such as Upcoming meetings show an agenda, with each meeting's clock time in a column, grouped by day (a meeting that starts at midnight shows All day). Cards for tasks, emails, urgent work and chats stay lists, because you work through them one at a time. A card shows as many rows as fit its size, and nothing scrolls inside it: make a card taller or wider and it shows more rows, make it smaller and it shows fewer. When rows are left out, a "+N more" line at the foot of the list says how many and opens the same filtered All Work, and the card's footer link always shows the full count. Example: an Emails to review card that is 7 rows tall shows two emails and "+9 more", and shows six when you stretch it to 12 rows. A chart scales its plot to the card the same way, and a number card drops its priority split before it would need to scroll. Each kind of card has a smallest size at which it still reads (a list is at least 4 columns wide and 6 rows tall, meetings and Due today 7 rows, a number 5 rows, a chart 7 rows); you cannot drag a card smaller than that, and a Home saved with smaller cards shows them at the smallest size. Selecting a card's title opens the matching work in All Work, and selecting a row opens the item in the item pane.

Three cards are not about work items:

  • Work with Binee: a message box with the prompt "What would you like to work on?". The Work with Binee button opens the Assistant with your text in its message box; nothing is sent until you send it there.

  • Recent chats: your latest Assistant conversations, newest first. Selecting one opens it in the Assistant. With no chats it says so, and if the list cannot be loaded it says so with a Retry button instead of showing an empty list.

  • Notepad: a card for your own writing, described in the next section.

The Notepad card

A Notepad card is a place on Home for your own notes, lists and links. Example: next to your Tasks and Emails to review cards, keep a notepad with the delivery date you promised a client on a call and the link to their contract, so the promise sits beside the work it affects. (It is called Notepad so it is not confused with the notes inside a connected tool, such as a note on a client matter.)

  • Add it from Add card (it is in Recommended and in the Binee category). It arrives half the width of Home and tall enough to write in, with the title, the formatting buttons and a writing area all visible, placed after your last row without covering another card, and opens ready to write in. Select the text, or choose Edit notepad in the card's menu or Edit in its footer, to edit it later; Done closes the editor. Links open in a new tab when you select them.

  • Open full page: select the card's title, or choose Open full page in the card's menu or footer, to write in a larger window over Home. It is the same notepad with the same editor, the same saving and the same footer; Done (or closing the window) takes you back to the card.

  • Formatting buttons above the text give you bold, italic, a heading, a bulleted list, a numbered list and a link. The shortcuts Ctrl or Cmd with B, I and K do bold, italic and link. Lists work the way they do in a document: press Enter at the end of a bullet or numbered item to start the next one, and press Enter on an empty item to end the list (Shift and Enter adds a plain new line). The notepad is stored as plain text with simple marks (a line starting with # is a heading, - starts a bullet, 1. starts a numbered item, **bold**, *italic* and [text](address) for a link), so you can also type them yourself. Only web and email addresses become links.

  • You can add as many Notepad cards as you like, each with its own title. Rename a notepad in the editor.

  • A notepad saves by itself a moment after you stop typing. The footer says Saving, then Saved, in the card and in the full page view alike. If a save fails, the footer says so with Try again and your text stays on the screen; nothing is discarded. Binee also saves when you switch away from the tab. Binee also asks before you close the tab while a notepad is still unsaved, and sends the text as the tab hides.

  • Using Home on two devices never loses a notepad. A notepad written on one device is never deleted by adding or removing a card on another. If you edit a notepad on one device after it was saved on another, Binee does not overwrite the other version: the card shows the saved version and keeps what you typed in a box beneath it, with two choices, Replace the notepad with my text or Drop my text, and the footer says the notepad changed on another device. If the notepad was removed on another device, the footer says so and your text stays on the screen so you can copy it into a new notepad.

  • A notepad holds up to 6,000 characters. At the limit the editor stops taking more text and tells you the notepad is full; nothing you wrote is cut. Many full notepads together can also reach the size limit of your whole Home, and saving then asks you to shorten a notepad or remove a card.

  • Removing a Notepad card offers Undo, which brings the notepad back with its text.

  • Notepads are private to you. Binee does not read them: they are not sent to the Binee Assistant and are not used to prepare Binee Insights. They are part of your data export and are deleted with your account.

Add card and the card library

Add card, at the top right, opens the card library. It has a search box and categories: Recommended (cards you can add right away, Binee's own first), All cards, Binee, then one category per tool that feeds Home, Inbox and All Work, split into Connected tools and Other tools. The library holds 58 templates (ClickUp has two task cards side by side: My tasks, tagged Assigned to you, and List overview, tagged Everything in the list, which starts with Show set to Everything in the chosen lists), including list, number, bar, column, donut and pie cards: Binee cards that combine your tools (Work by tool, Priority mix, Active work, Overdue work, which count your tasks, emails, meetings and leads together), the cards above including the Notepad, This week (tasks and meetings from all your connected tools, drawn as a calendar of the current week), a My calendar card for each calendar tool, and cards for each tool such as its tasks, urgent items, items due today, overdue items, resolved items, upcoming calendar entries or a count. While you scroll the cards, the category title and any plan notice under it stay pinned at the top of the list, so you always see which category you are in.

Every card in the library works when you add it. Connect a tool that feeds Home, Inbox and All Work and its cards are in the library straight away. Example: connect your practice tool and add "Tasks due today" next to "Emails to review", so a deadline and the client's email asking about it sit side by side.

Each template shows a small example layout, and a label for its layout (List, Number, Chart, Agenda, Calendar or Two columns). Binee's own cards carry a neutral icon, and a tool's cards carry the tool's logo. The examples are fixed samples of the shape, not your live counts. A card for a tool you have not connected shows Connect tool: it takes you to that tool's connection settings, and after you connect it, back to setting up the card. A tool that works in the Binee Assistant only (a meeting notetaker, a file store, Slack) has no Home data feed, so it has no cards and is not listed in the library; its card in Settings, then Connections says it works in the Assistant. Example: ask the Assistant to take a meeting summary and create the tasks.

Some cards you might expect are not in the library because they need data Home does not keep: a week-wide due window, matters with no recent activity, leads by source, a pipeline by stage and unpaid invoices. Ask the Assistant for those when you need them.

You can also ask the Binee Assistant to add a card in plain words, for example "I want a card with emails that have the word invoice". It shows a confirmation card with the filters in plain words (for the example, Gmail with "invoice" in the subject, because the search looks at an item's title, an email's subject, never its body) and the card lands at the bottom of your Home once you confirm. The card can be a list, a number, a chart or a calendar: "add a calendar card for my meetings this week" adds this week's meetings, drawn with times when the card holds only calendars. It counts toward your plan's card limit like any card, and the Assistant checks the limit first. It adds a card only; to change or remove a card use Configure card or the card's menu.

Choosing Add to Home on a template opens Configure card before the card is added, with its tools already chosen: a tool's template starts with that tool, and a card across tools starts with every tool you have connected and that is working. If your plan has paused a tool's connection, its cards show Paused - upgrade to resume instead of Add to Home. If your Home is at your plan's card limit, the library says so before you click (for example "Personal includes 10 cards - upgrade to add more.") with a link to the plans, and nothing on your Home is removed.

What a card shows when it cannot show work

A card never shows a zero or "You're all caught up" when it does not know. It says what is true instead:

  • Loading your work, while your work is still arriving or a first sync is running.

  • Your work could not be loaded, with Try again.

  • Connect the tool to see this card, when the card is for a tool that is not connected.

  • Paused - upgrade to resume, when your plan paused that connection. Nothing is deleted and the card returns when you upgrade.

  • Reconnect to see this, when the connection expired or was removed.

  • Check your tool status above, when a list is empty but a tool needs attention, so the empty list may be incomplete.

If Home holds a saved card this version of Binee cannot read (for example one saved by a newer version), Home still opens: that card is not shown, a line above the cards says how many, and it is kept as saved, so it comes back when Home can read it. Reset layout removes such cards for good, but nothing else needs a reset.

A count that reaches the limit of what Home can load reads "at least" that number. If a card on your Home is for something Binee no longer offers, it says "This card is no longer available. Remove it from your Home." and has a Remove card button.

Configure card

Configure card, also in the menu of a card that shows work items, edits what a card shows. It opens as a large window: the live preview, drawn as the real card at the size a new card of that kind starts with, is on the left, and the settings are on the right in three sections (Card, What it shows, and More filters, which holds Description, Search term and the filters of each tool) that scroll on their own, with Cancel and Save card always in view at the foot. It is the same window for every card, including the cards a new Home starts with:

  • Card: its title and how it displays: a list, a number, a bar chart, a column chart, a donut chart, a pie chart or a calendar. A number shows the count large (it grows with the card) with what it counts and how it splits by priority (Urgent, Normal, Low). A donut shows the total in the middle of a ring that scales with the card; a pie is the full disc, with its total in the card's header count. On a narrow card the disc's legend stacks under it, on a mid-size card it sits beside it (each legend entry keeps its dot, name, count and share together, and opens the matching filtered All Work), and on a wide card the slices are labelled directly, each with a thin line to its name, count and share. A bar chart is a row per group, the name and count together above a bar whose length compares against the largest group; a column chart is its vertical twin, one column per group with the count on top, for comparing a few groups at a glance. Groups are ordered largest first, except by priority, which always reads Urgent, Normal, Low. When a chart groups by priority, its colours are the priority colours (Urgent red, Normal amber, Low blue), so a colour always means the same thing;

  • What it shows, the tools: a card draws from the tools you choose, shown as chips, each with its logo and an x that removes it. Add a tool offers the tools you have connected and that are working. A new card starts with all of them as chips, and a card made from one tool's library template starts with that tool; when you add a second tool it is no longer tied to the first, and a note says so. A card with no tool chosen shows nothing: the preview says "Pick at least one tool." and Save card stays off until you pick one. A card you saved before this change with no tools chosen opens with your connected tools as chips, and keeps showing the same work on Home until you save it. Example: add ClickUp and Gmail to one card, so the task that is due Friday sits in the same list as the client's email asking whether it will be ready. There is no separate Type choice any more: the tools decide what a card is about (a calendar tool gives meetings, a mail tool gives emails). A card saved earlier with a type keeps working; A tool you connect later is not added to cards you already saved; add it in Configure card.

  • What it shows also holds the filters shared by every tool on the card: Priority, Date (not offered when every tool is mail, and called Event date when every tool is a calendar) and Work state, one menu that replaces the old Binee status choice: Active, or Active and resolved (a card saved with Resolved only, such as Completed tasks, also lists Resolved while it is the current choice). Under the tool chips one line says what the card pulls, for example "Pulling from ClickUp (only tasks assigned to you)" or "(everything in the selected lists)". More filters opens by itself when a card already has a search term or a tool filter, and holds Description (the line under the card title) and Search term (words in the title);

  • Filters by tool: a tool you leave untouched shows everything Binee watches from it. With two or more tools there is one tab per tool, with its logo and a small count when that tool has filters set (move between tabs with the arrow keys, Home and End); with one tool its filters sit directly under a heading, "ClickUp filters" for example. Each tab starts with an Account choice when you have more than one connected account of that tool: your working accounts of that tool start as chips, just like tools, and removing chips is how you choose (the card can show all of them or be tied to one, and a card tied to one account names it; removing every chip shows "Pick at least one account." and Save card stays off; with three or more accounts, a choice of two is not saved, so the tab says "Pick one account or all of them."; a card you saved earlier with no account chosen opens with all your accounts as chips and keeps its meaning, including accounts you connect later, until you change them; while the card still draws from several of your working accounts, the pickers that choose by label, calendar, practice area or Odoo item wait and say "Keep one account to use these filters - they are per account", because the same label or project can mean something different in each account (a tool with only one working account beside a paused or disconnected one has nothing to choose, so its pickers are open at once); changing the account clears that tool's label, calendar, practice area and Odoo item choices for the same reason, while settings that mean the same everywhere, such as the Odoo Show choice, stay; and when you pick a label, calendar, practice area or Odoo item, the card is tied to the account you picked it from and names it, so a second account you connect later is never filtered by the first one's labels), then that tool's own filters, built from the same searchable lists as What Binee watches in Settings, Connections (type to search, every chosen item is a chip you can remove with one click). A filter you have not narrowed (labels, calendars and the like) shows a neutral "All labels" marker ("All calendars" and so on) that cannot be removed, and a ClickUp filter you have not narrowed says in one line what it ranges over for the card's Show choice (for example "Your tasks from the lists Binee watches." for Your tasks, or "Tasks with any assignee, or none." for Everything in the chosen lists), so it never looks blank: it means everything Binee watches, including anything added later, and choosing an item replaces it with your choices. A filter that leaves things out, such as the Odoo "Stages to leave out", shows no such marker, because empty there means nothing is left out. Example: a card drawing on Gmail and ClickUp shows client emails beside the tasks due this week; the Gmail tab's "All labels" marker keeps every client email, and choosing the Clients label leaves only those emails while the ClickUp tasks stay:

  • ClickUp card filters: Show, Include, Lists, Tags, Task status, Assignees and Custom field. Include chooses Tasks and subtasks (the default, and what every card or view you saved before it means), Tasks only or Subtasks only. Example: a card set to Subtasks only lists the small steps assigned to you, such as "Send the invoice reminder" under "Close the Acme account", without the parent tasks. Show has two choices. Your tasks (the default, and what every card you saved before this change means) shows the tasks assigned to you that your lists already show. Everything in the chosen lists also shows every open task in the lists you chose, whoever it is assigned to or whether it is assigned to anyone at all. Example: a "Launch" card set to Everything in the chosen lists shows the whole launch list beside the client's email asking about it, while your Inbox and All Work keep showing only what waits on you. When you save a card set to Everything, Binee adds the card's lists to "Lists to watch in full" in Settings, Connections, ClickUp, What Binee watches, so the card has something to show, and tells you so on the card's ClickUp tab. If you have more than one ClickUp account, tie the card to one account first. You can watch up to 20 lists in full; removing a list there never changes your cards, and a card that pointed at it says it has nothing to show from that list. Tasks from lists watched in full only ever appear on cards set to Everything in the chosen lists: never in Inbox, All Work, the unread count or Slack. Lists, Tags, Task status and Assignees each hold several choices; Custom field holds one field with several accepted values, and it unlocks while exactly one list is chosen, because ClickUp keeps custom fields per list. A Custom field with several values matches an item that has any one of them (for example Region is EU or US). Custom field types that can be matched offer value matching; other fields offer is set or is not set. Assignees also offers Unassigned and Tags also offers No tag, each combined with your other choices as "or" (Unassigned plus Dana shows both). Task status lists the open statuses of the lists you chose (finished statuses such as Complete are not offered, because finished work leaves your lists on its own); with one list chosen that is exactly its statuses, with several it combines them (and says if one list could not be read), and with no list chosen it shows your spaces' statuses and says a list with statuses of its own may have more. Tags lists the tags of the spaces your chosen lists live in, or every space's tags, and says so, while no list is chosen. The Assignees list holds up to 200 people and says when your workspace has more. A card that filters only on Lists, Tags, Task status or Assignees decides from what Binee reads about each task as it first appears, so a card set to Everything in the chosen lists fills in as soon as those lists have synced, with nothing to wait for per item. Right after you save it the card says "Filling in over the next few minutes." for as long as that is true, and its items arrive without a refresh (Home checks more often while a card is filling in, and stops when nothing is left to fill). Tags are read from the task as it first appears too, except for a task with more tags than Binee keeps (or a tag name longer than 64 characters), which then waits like a Custom field. Custom field filters use Binee's saved, encrypted details of your items, so a task that was only just added can stay off the card until those details are ready, which can take a while; the tab then says, for example, "12 of 40 ClickUp items are still being checked" and the card says it updates as items are ready, with no promised time, while Binee works through them in the background. Filtering never generates Binee Insights;

  • Gmail card filters: Only these labels (emails with any of those Gmail labels; none chosen means every email Binee watches), plus Unlabelled for emails that carry none of the labels the picker offers (a Gmail system label such as Inbox or Unread does not count as a label). Starred emails always show, whatever their labels, the same as in your work list (as long as the starred rule is on in Settings, Connections);

  • Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar card filters: Only these calendars, chosen from Primary calendar (your main calendar, so "main calendar only" is one choice) and the calendars Binee watches, which are the extra calendars you added under Settings, Connections (Binee does not read the other calendars you own, so a card cannot be filtered to one);

  • Clio Manage card filters: Show (Everything, Tasks or Calendar entries) and Practice areas, plus No practice area for items with no matter, a matter you cannot open or a matter with no practice area;

  • Clio Grow card filters: Lead sources, Matter types and Offices, each with a No lead source, No matter type or No office choice;

  • Odoo card filters: Show (Everything, Tasks or CRM leads), Activity types, Pipeline teams, Stages to leave out and Projects, plus No team and No project choices (Stages to leave out needs none, because it leaves things out). CRM leads show once they are turned on for Odoo in Settings, Connections;

  • Outlook mail card filters: none of its own. The card shows the mail Binee watches, and the tab says so.

Example: one card with ClickUp narrowed to the Client Acme list and Gmail narrowed to the Clients label puts the Acme delivery task beside the email where Acme asks about it, and every other list and label stays out. If a tool on the card is paused by your plan, disconnected or needs reconnecting, its tab says so with a link to that connection instead of lists that cannot load, and the card itself names that tool ("Gmail is paused on your plan, so its work is left out") and shows the rest. A card whose tools are all unavailable says so for each tool. A card never says "You're all caught up" while a tool it draws from is not working;

  • The card's title opens All Work with everything the card holds: its tools, the shared filters, each tool's own filters and each tool's account, so the list matches the card. For a ClickUp card set to Everything in the chosen lists, that visit also shows the tasks not assigned to you and says so in one line ("Everything in the chosen lists - including tasks not assigned to you."); clearing the card's filters, or opening All Work on its own, goes back to your own tasks only. That wider view lasts only for the visit that came from the card: Binee never remembers it for a tab and a saved view never keeps it;

  • Right after you add or change a filter, or when a tool has just started being measured, a few items may not be checked against it yet. A card says how many ("3 Gmail items are still being checked against this filter and show for now"), counting only the items the card would otherwise show; ClickUp items wait off the card only when the filter needs details Binee has not saved yet (a Custom field filter, or a Tag filter on a task whose tags Binee could not keep whole; Lists, Tags otherwise, Task status and Assignees decide at once), and every other tool's items show meanwhile. It updates by itself as items are ready. The one exception is a Gmail thread with more labels than Binee can keep: it cannot be checked against a label filter at all, so the card says so ("1 Gmail item has too many labels to check against this filter, so it shows either way") and does not promise an update;

  • for calendar cards, the layout: Week with times, like a calendar app, or Week by day, items stacked per day. Calendar draws this week, Monday to Sunday, from the items that have a date. Week with times puts each meeting as a block on an hour axis, sized by its length (a short meeting reads on one line, a taller one wraps its title with the time underneath, a tall one shows the full title and the time range), splits meetings that overlap side by side, and puts items that have a day but no time in a thin row under the day name. Week by day stacks each day's items: meetings as purple time chips and tasks, emails and other dated items as plain chips with their priority, tool and type, with "+N more" when a day has more than fit, which opens the card's items in All Work. Choosing Calendar picks Week with times when every tool on the card is a calendar, and Week by day otherwise; you can change it. When the card is too narrow for seven readable columns, such as the Configure card preview or a phone, it shows the week as a day list instead, Monday to Sunday with today highlighted and in view: each meeting with its time (or All day) and full title, and other dated items as chips; a weekend day with nothing on it is left out. Either layout, wide or narrow, never scrolls sideways. Clicking a block or chip opens the item exactly like a row. An item with no date has no day, so it never shows on a calendar; the card's footer says how many items are not shown, how many fall outside this week, and, on a card whose Work state is Active only, how many finished items this week are left out. The library's calendar cards and calendar cards Binee creates for you start on Active and resolved, so a meeting that has already ended still shows on its day. Example: a This week card on ClickUp and Google Calendar shows Wednesday's meetings next to the ClickUp tasks due that day, so you see the whole day in one column. A meeting's length comes from its calendar; a meeting that has not been refreshed since this layout arrived shows as a short block until its calendar next syncs.

  • for list cards, Rows: the most rows the card may show (up to 3, 6, 9 or 12, or as many as fit); the card's size decides how many actually fit, so this is a ceiling, not a fixed count. For chart cards, whether to group by tool, priority or item type.

You can add several differently configured versions of the same card, and any number of Notepad cards. Every new card is added with a size that fits what it shows (a number is a small tile, a chart is taller, a Notepad has room to write) and is placed after your last row, beside the last card when there is room, never on top of another card, so a new card is usable right away. Home holds a very large number of cards (up to 50); if you ever reach the limit, Add card says "Your Home is full. Remove a card to add another." before you click, and nothing is removed for you. A card only ever shows work Binee already watches: choosing a list in a filter does not import that whole list. The one exception is a ClickUp card set to Everything in the chosen lists, which makes Binee watch those lists in full when you save it (see the ClickUp filters above and, on the Connections page, What Binee watches). A card is also never narrowed by tools you hid from the Inbox or All Work screen (see the Inbox and All Work page): hiding a tool there changes that screen only, so a card keeps its numbers.

Moving, resizing and resetting

Home's heading, with Add card at the top right, stays at the top of the page while everything under it scrolls, the same as the Inbox (on a phone the whole page scrolls as one). On a computer your layout is always editable, with no separate edit mode: drag a card by its header to move it (the cursor shows a hand over the header), and drag any edge or corner of a card to resize it (the cursor becomes a resize arrow on the card's edges). Your layout and each card's configuration are saved together to your account, so they follow you to any device. Reset layout, at the bottom of Home, puts the cards back to the starting four; a message offers Undo, which brings your cards back with the order they were added in. On a phone Home is a single column in reading order: you can still add, configure and remove cards, but not drag them. If your saved Home cannot be loaded, Home says so with Try again instead of showing a default layout in its place.

Removing a card

Open a card's menu and choose Duplicate card to add a copy with exactly the same settings at the end of your Home (it counts toward your plan's card limit; if the limit is reached Binee says so and adds nothing, and if the copy cannot be saved Binee says so and the copy disappears again). Choose Remove card to take a card off; a message offers Undo. A removed card stays in the library, so you can add it back any time (a Notepad you removed is gone unless you press Undo; adding a Notepad again gives you a new, empty one).
