Feed (Home)

The Feed is your home screen in Couple Tools - a unified dashboard that shows everything happening in your shared life at a glance.

What You'll See

The Feed organizes your tasks, events, and notes into smart sections based on timing and importance:

Pinned

Items you've pinned appear at the top for quick access. Pin anything important - a recurring grocery list, an upcoming anniversary, or a note with important information.

Today

Everything happening today:

  • Overdue tasks - Tasks past their due date (shown in red)
  • Today's tasks - Tasks due today
  • Today's events - Events happening today

The date is shown in the section header so you always know what day you're looking at.

This Week

Tasks and events coming up in the next 7 days. Stay ahead of what's coming without getting overwhelmed.

Later

Everything scheduled further out. These items are visible but not demanding your immediate attention.

Creating New Items

Tap the floating action button (+) in the bottom right corner to create new items. A menu appears with options:

  • Task - Create a new task
  • Event - Create a new event
  • Note - Create a new note

Select an option to open the creation screen for that item type.

Tips

  1. Pin strategically - Use pins for things you need to see daily, not everything important

  2. Check Today first - Start your day by reviewing the Today section

  3. Scroll to see more - The feed loads more items as you scroll down

  4. Pull to refresh - Drag down to reload the latest data

  5. Use @mentions - When creating items, use @mentions to link to people, locations, and other items in your account
