The Interface

Xenith is built to stay out of your way. Once you know the few core surfaces, you can move anywhere in a couple of keystrokes.

The dashboard​

Your home screen (/app) is a personalized dashboard. It opens with a greeting, today's date and a plain line of facts ("1 of 3 intentions done, 25 minutes focused today"), then surfaces what's relevant right now:

  • Today: your intentions with progress, the next thing to Focus on, and anything still open from earlier days. With nothing planned yet, Draft my day lists what is already in Xenith, still-open intentions and today's calendar events, each with where it came from. You tick what you want and press Add (nothing is added before that).
  • From your tools: tasks from Todoist, Microsoft To Do or Google Tasks, if you connected them. Shown only when there is something to decide.
  • This week: Focus minutes and intentions done for each day, plus calendar events. Counts only, no comparisons.
  • Calendar and a Balance wheel of your Life Dimensions.
  • Your active routines, your latest reflection and your projects.
  • Your tools: the free dimension tools (calories, Finances, Books, Growth Path), ordered by the dimensions you chose. Pro tools show as a compact locked tile.
  • A search bar in the header (or Ctrl + K) and quick actions.

The dashboard is a calm overview, not a control tower. It shows direction, not pressure.

Arrange your dashboard​

Press Customize at the top right of the dashboard to make it yours. It is free for everyone, and the dashboard stays exactly as it was until you change something.

  • Reorder. Drag a card by its handle, or use the Move up and Move down buttons (they work from the keyboard too). A card stays in its own column: This week, routines and reflection in the main column, Calendar and the rest in the side column.
  • Hide and add back. Hide what you don't use. Hidden cards wait under Hidden, and you can add them back at any time.
  • Your tools. The row of tools under the cards arranges the same way. Which tools you have still follows the dimensions you chose and your plan. Locked Pro tiles stay at the end and can't be moved.
  • Reset to default puts everything back. Changes save as you make them.

Today and From your tools always stay at the top of the main column.

If you hide a page in Settings, its card leaves the dashboard too. Showing the page again brings the card back where it was.

Five more cards start hidden. Add any of them from Customize:

  • Quick capture: type a thought and it goes to your Inbox.
  • Water & supplements: today's water with one-tap +250 ml and +500 ml, and your supplements to tick off.
  • Mood check: one tap sets today's mood. It changes only the mood, so a reflection you already wrote today stays as it is.
  • Habits: today's habits, ticked or counted in a tap.
  • Reach out: the people you set a contact goal for whose time has come (see Relationships; Connections is part of Pro).

The left sidebar is your map of the app: Dashboard, Intentions, Focus, Coach, Reflection, Life Dimensions, Growth, Projects, Worlds, Inbox, Habits, Routines, Calendar and Insights, in three groups (Daily, Growth and Other). Settings opens from your profile button at the bottom.

  • Fold a group. Press a group's name to fold it. The page you are on stays visible, and Xenith remembers what you folded on that device.
  • Hide pages you don't use. Settings can take Habits, Routines, Inbox, Calendar and Insights out of the menu.
  • Collapse the whole sidebar (Ctrl + B) when you want maximum room to think. In the narrow version every page stays one tap away.

Command palette​

Press Ctrl + K (or Cmd + K on Mac) anywhere in Xenith to open the command palette. Start typing to jump to any section, project, or page by name, with no clicking through menus.

Tip

The command palette is the fastest way to navigate. If you only learn one shortcut, make it Ctrl + K.

Quick capture​

A thought shouldn't have to wait for the right screen. Quick capture lets you jot something down instantly. It lands in your Inbox so you can sort it later without breaking your flow.

The inbox​

The Inbox is your holding area for anything captured on the fly: stray ideas, tasks, links, things to revisit. Process it on your own schedule: turn items into intentions, project notes, or reflections, or simply clear them.

The calendar​

The Calendar gives you a time-based view of your activity and plans, so you can see your intentions, sessions, and notable entries in context across the days and weeks.

Light and dark themes​

Xenith defaults to a dark theme designed for long, focused sessions. Toggle to light from the header control at any time. Your choice is remembered per device.
