Interface & Shortcuts

Three-Column Layout

Left sidebar (200-420px): brand, new task, navigation (Skills/Experts/Scheduler/Channels/Taskboard), search, project groups, user area
Main canvas: ViewHeader + current view

All columns are rounded cards with draggable, persistent widths. The sidebar can collapse with hover preview.

Pinning & Sorting

Pin sessions: right-click → Pin. Pinned sessions stay at the top; drag to reorder
Pin projects: right-click → Pin. Pinned projects sort first
Unpinned ordering: sorted by recent use — recently used sessions and projects float up automatically
Time grouping: the task list can group by Today / Yesterday / Last 7 days / Earlier to jump back to recent work
Cloud badge: with cloud enabled, cloud sessions, projects, and data entries carry a “Cloud” badge — instantly distinguishable from local ones (see Cloud)
The sidebar bottom shows your organization name (when signed in)

Reading the Message Stream

Jump to bottom: a floating button appears at the bottom-right once you scroll away; during streaming it snaps instantly and keeps following, after stop it smooth-scrolls
Math formulas: inline $…$ and block $$…$$ LaTeX render automatically; long formulas scroll horizontally within their block
Interactive components: replies can embed self-contained HTML components (charts, mini-tools) rendered in a sandboxed iframe that follows the app theme; during streaming the source code shows first and mounts once complete
Mermaid diagrams: shows “diagram generating” during output, then renders the chart—no more flickering errors

Desktop Pet

Settings, Pet, enable. Three built-in companions:

Blueberry: the classic blueberry
Robo: the robot
Nuomi: the soft newcomer

You can also import pet packs: the settings page’s import button installs third-party Codex pet packs (.zip); locally installed Codex pets get a one-click import prompt. A pack can carry several pets, all installed with their own cards, playing at their own animation rhythm.

The pet lives in a 150x150 transparent window at the bottom-right corner:

Its state follows your tasks: idle, thinking (model output), working (tool execution), waiting (approval or your reply needed), success, failed
While waiting for approval the pet holds the waiting pose; if the main window is in the background, an approval bubble pops above the pet; click it to return
Drag it anywhere; Blueberry and Robo struggle when dragged, Nuomi just zones out
Right-click to switch form (three built-ins plus imported customs) or hide it

The pet is not just cute: the task cards it carries show each task’s summary and status live, cards awaiting your action float to the front, and clicking a card jumps to that session. See Task Cards below.

Task Cards

The pet card is upgraded to a task card: while an agent runs, it shows a summary card (what it’s doing + a progress ring); queued tasks stack, and the tray menu groups by task. Click a card to focus that session.

Voice Entries

Two voice buttons right of the input: hold-to-talk (release to transcribe) and voice conversation (continuous). See Voice Input and Read Aloud.
