Getting started
The lay of the land — the five tabs, the two kinds of commitment, and the one idea that decides what counts.
The five tabs
Saara has five tabs along the bottom:
- Today — your day and the integrity circle. Zoom with Today / Week / 2 weeks / Month.
- Tasks — every commitment; search by title, notes, people or links, and filter by Type · Date · Area · Status · Source.
- Areas — the parts of your life, each with its own score.
- Progress — your reliability over time, on the ladder.
- Saara — the assistant (needs your AI key — see Ask Saara & your AI key).
Two kinds of commitment
A Task is a to-do (it syncs with Google Tasks). An Event is time-blocked (it syncs two-way with Google Calendar). Both can repeat. Saara draws them distinctly so you always know which is which.
Draft vs. Release — the most important idea
When you add something, the main button says Release, with Save as draft beneath it.
- Draft = thinking out loud. It travels between your devices, but is not pushed to Google and does not count in your score.
- Release = giving your word. From then on it syncs everywhere and counts. Editing a released item shows the button as plain Save.
Why it matters: only what happens after you Release affects your reliability. Nothing counts against you while it's a draft — so capture freely, and release when you mean it.
Areas of your life
Saara starts with Health, Exercise, Career, Finance, Relationships, Leisure. Tap Add area (up to 10) to add your own — name it, pick an icon and colour. Each area carries its own reliability.
