Home

Home is what you see when you open Existential: a single quiet page that holds whatever is most relevant to the moment you arrived. It is one composition that resolves to a different shape depending on the hour of the day and how recently you have engaged.

What's on it

The composition has four slots. Any of them may or may not be present, depending on the time of day.

• Morning brief. Appears in the morning hours. The Oracle gathers what your thinking has been doing overnight and writes it back to you: the threads worth carrying into today, a connection or two it noticed across your notes, and a single open question to sit with. It opens on the headline the brief leads with.
• Daily check-in. Appears at midday, or whenever you arrive without having captured anything for a while. It is a single open-ended prompt, meant to lower the friction of coming back to your own thinking.
• Evening close-out. Appears in the evening. Where the morning brief gathers what your thinking has been doing overnight, the close-out gathers and reflects on the day: what landed in your Library, what it connected to, and how the day sets into the longer arc of your thinking. It is the reflective counterpart to the brief, the other end of the same day.
• Activity. Always present at the bottom of the surface. A scroll of recent events in plain words: what the Oracle is doing. Captured a note. Added to the Library. Noticed a connection. Each entry is a single line. Activity is informational.

How it stays calm

Home does not push notifications at you. The morning brief is there if you look. The close-out works the same way, waiting for you in the evening rather than summoning you to it. Activity ticks along quietly on the side.

When Activity has a lot to say

You can open Activity in full to see the complete feed of recent events, with the option to look further back. Each entry has a small reasoning view you can expand if you want to see what the Oracle was working on at the time.

Day-arc and the cutover hour

The Oracle thinks in days, but the day does not end at midnight. A little before your stated sleep time, the surface quietly hands the evening over to the morning: today's close-out steps back, and tomorrow's brief begins to form. You do not need to know the exact moment. It shows up as the morning brief replacing the close-out at the hour that makes sense.
