Home and Decide

What Home shows

Skyflo opens to Home. It holds every open item from your missions, mail and calendar, sorted by who moves next. The top line says how many things need you and how many are ready for review.

Lane	What it holds
Focus	Items you chose to keep in view. Choose Focus on an item to add it.
Needs you	Decisions and answers only you can give.
Review	Finished work to check.
Running	What Skyflo is doing now.
Waiting on	Work waiting for someone or something else.
Deferred	Items you set aside until a wake rule is met.
Handled	What Skyflo organised since your last visit, plus items you settled.

The sidebar shows the same lanes. Empty lanes stay hidden. The Home badge counts what needs you, and ⌘1 opens Home.

One ranking orders Needs you. Each item carries a one-line reason, such as a high consequence, blocked missions, a deadline within a day or a decision that expires soon, followed by how long it has waited and its next step. Choose Why this order? from an item's menu to see the full breakdown. To push an item down, mark it less important.

Decide

Decide works through Needs you one item at a time, with the recorded request and its evidence beside the choice. The header shows your place, for example Decide · 2 of 5. Each item offers its recommended action first, its other choices, and Defer, Settle, Focus and Skip for now.

Keys work too: Enter takes the recommended action, D defers, E settles, F focuses, ? explains the order and → skips. Choose Return Home when the pass is complete. In 1.8.0 you open Decide by asking for it while you talk it through on Home.

Defer, settle and undo

Choose Defer… to set an item aside. Its work keeps running; the item returns when its wake rule is met:

At a time: a date and time, or In one hour.
When something happens: when it Needs you again, or when Monitoring finishes for a linked mission.
Before the deadline: a number of minutes before the item's deadline (15 by default).

Settle marks an item as done in your judgment. It does not answer or approve anything. Settled items move under Handled with a Settled tag, and Reopen brings one back.

Organising actions (defer, settle, reopen, focus, reorder and less important) show Undo for a few seconds. Decisions and recommended actions take effect when you choose them and do not offer Undo.

Briefs and urgent items

Skyflo writes a brief every morning and evening. It leads with what Skyflo did, then updates, the top items in Needs you, work under way and progress on your areas' goals. Earlier briefs stay below the latest one.

The defaults are 9:00 for the morning brief and 21:00 for the evening brief, with quiet hours from 23:00 to 8:00. To change them, open the Home options menu and choose Brief times…. With Adjust mornings to when I’m usually here on, the morning brief moves to shortly before you usually start. Times use this Mac's local time.

Urgent items do not wait for the next brief. When an item becomes urgent, it lands in Needs you right away and you get a note, outside quiet hours. A paired iPhone receives the brief as well.

Talk it through

On Core, Pro and Max, Talk it through in Home's header runs Home by voice. You can also hold Space. Skyflo opens the first item, explains what an approval would do, recommends one way and takes your answer in your own words. New work you describe becomes a mission. Voice Mode explains the plans and what voice can decide.

Turn Home off

Open Settings › System and turn off Home and lanes. Skyflo then opens your last mission with the mission sidebar, as before 1.8.0. Turn it on again to bring Home back. The setting applies to this Mac.

Which model does the sorting

Home works on every plan. Sorting mail and calendar, drafting replies, suggesting areas and deciding what to start in an area need a model. With a Moonshot or Z.ai key in Settings › Providers, Skyflo uses that key first. Otherwise it uses Skyflo's included models on a paid plan, drawing on its included usage. When that usage runs out, Home says so and shows when it resets.
