“What needs me right now?” · mockups

Mockups only, fake data. Nothing in the live app, widget, Desk or phone line changed. Flip between the two looks with the buttons above. Every surface reads from the same feed in the same order, so answering in one place clears it everywhere.

A · Mission ControlToday’s dark cyan-and-amber look, a tidy list of question cards with color stripes. Familiar and fits more on screen.
B · Big & CalmLight and large: the one most important question fills the top with four big buttons, everything else below. Easier at a glance in the car.
▶ Try the clickable Now screen

1 · Widget

Home screen small and medium, and the lock screen (round count, rectangle, and the one line above the clock). Tapping opens the app on that card.

2 · App “Now” screen

Needs-you cards first (urgent at the top), then Running with time left, then Done today folded up. Messages, to-dos, calendar, Alerts and your wife’s ideas all land in the one stack. Swipe sideways for busy and all-clear.

How the tabs fit. Now becomes the first tab and opens by default: Now · Today · Call · Projects · Cal. Alerts folds into Now (a problem becomes a “Fix it?” card; the full history moves under Done today). Today keeps your full to-do list and picks, Projects keeps Mission Control, Cal stays read-only, Call stays the big middle button.

3 · Desk (Mac browser)

Same feed down the left, the selected item’s full report and screenshots in the middle, Running and Done on the right.

4 · Voice: “catch me up”

Walks the same feed in the same order: count first, then one question at a time, then what’s running, then what’s done. On a busy day it does the top four, then offers the rest as a list.

The order (same on every surface)

  1. Urgent: a family text flagged “run this now”, or a real fire (money, security, something broken).
  2. Time-bound: messages waiting on a reply, calendar items in the next day, clashes.
  3. Decisions blocking work: Voice Build questions (needs-ken), Mission Control “needs Ken”, Alerts decisions.
  4. Everything else: to-dos, your wife’s ideas, suggestions.
Where it comes from: Voice Build needs-ken issues, Mission Control projects, Alerts, Today (to-dos, picks, heads-ups), Cal (Work, Family, Lessons, Personal), iMessage triage, and your wife’s suggestions. Details in FEED.md in the repo.
