A **personalized home screen** collects what needs your attention today — urgent tasks, recent documents, new and mentioned messages — so the working day starts from one place rather than four.

## Why landing on a list of apps does not help

Opening a workspace to a directory of everything you have built tells you what exists. It does not tell you what to do.

- Scanning several apps to work out what changed
- Tasks checked in one place, messages in another
- Recently used items rediscovered by searching
- No sense of what is finished and what is not

## What belongs on a home screen

| Section     | What it shows                                            |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Tasks**   | Only urgent and high-priority items, with quick creation |
| **Docs**    | The most recently created documents, plus quick creation |
| **Chat**    | New messages and mentions, not the entire history        |
| **Recents** | Shortcuts to what you were last working on               |
| **Tools**   | Access to chat, docs, users and the rest of the platform |

## How to use it in Jestor

1. Open the dedicated home in **Jestor**, which is separate from the apps and tables view.
2. Review the tasks section, filtered to urgent and high priority.
3. Add a task directly from the home when something new comes up.
4. Open or create a document without navigating elsewhere.
5. Check new and mentioned messages, then move into the work itself.

## Why choose Jestor as a daily starting point?

**Jestor** filters the home deliberately — showing only urgent and high-priority tasks rather than everything, because the purpose is to help you resolve what matters rather than to display a complete list.

When the inbox is cleared, the home acknowledges it, which is a small thing that makes finishing visible.
