The home screen can be a customizable dashboard saved as a plain .dashboard file in your Drive. A dashboard is a grid of widgets for notes, folder views, kanban boards, workflow output, and web embeds.

Creating and Editing

Open the home screen or a .dashboard file.
Click Edit to show widget controls.
Use Add widget to add Markdown, file list, card, table, kanban, workflow, base, or web widgets.
Drag widgets to move them and drag the corner to resize.
Use Undo / Redo for layout changes. Changes are saved automatically.

Widget Types

Markdown — Embed and edit an existing Markdown file by Drive path.
File list — Show files from a folder with view-time filter and sort controls.
Card / Table — Render Markdown files from a folder using frontmatter fields. Table cells can edit frontmatter inline.
Kanban — Group Markdown files by a status property. Create new cards from the board header or drag cards between columns to update frontmatter.
Workflow — Run a workflow and render its output as cards, a table, Markdown, or HTML. Use auto-refresh for recurring reports.
Base — Render a view from a .base file. If view is empty, the first view is used.
Web — Embed an external page in an iframe.

Workflow Widgets

Workflow widgets read from a cache until you run them. Click Run in settings or Refresh in the widget header to execute the workflow. The output is saved in a sidecar cache file so dashboards open quickly.

Kanban Boards

Kanban widgets work directly with Markdown files. Configure a folder, a status property, and columns. Dragging a card writes the new status back to the file frontmatter.

Raw YAML

Dashboards can also be edited as YAML. File references are path-based where possible, so files can be written by hand and synchronized with Obsidian-oriented tooling.
