Today · Jobs · Send — derived from what a builder is trying to do rather than from the homeowner's three. Twenty v6 screens carry no navigation at all; this is the chrome they were drawn without. Today surfaces one thing or none, and never ranks.
Everything else on your four jobs is either moving or waiting on somebody who isn't you.
Tony Alvarez roughs in Thursday. After that the island wall closes, and getting back to it means opening a wall.
Quoted: Tony's return call-out, from his rate sheet. Assumed: opening and closing the island wall a second time. That's an assumption we are making, not a measurement.
Send Sam and Nora the pick They already told me: record it insteadThe island electrical is here because two people cannot proceed without it, not because it is the most recent or the most expensive thing on four jobs. Nothing on this screen is scored, and there is no second item below the first — a list of two teaches that there is a queue.
$1,200 with its derivation under it, saying which half is quoted and which is assumed. A number Dave cannot defend to Sam is a number he will not send, and hiding the arithmetic turns a fact into a sales tactic.
“Island electrical: your electrician roughs in Thursday. After that it's a wall to open.”
Three of them didn't need to interrupt you this morning. The rejected triage feed had no equivalent, and that absence is most of why it was rejected: a screen that only ever hands you work is a screen you learn to dread opening.
It is a named, bounded list of jobs that are fine. It does not grow, it does not rank, and at two jobs it still earns its place — the claim nothing else needs you is worth as much to a builder with two jobs as to one with twenty.
Sam's focus card in Sam's words, so Dave can see what he is about to interrupt. Look at their screen is the verb; nothing here tells him whether Sam has an account, and Cedar Court's row would look the same if Ben had one.
And that is the argument for it crossing roles. This is not we have not started and it is not there is nothing here; it is nothing is outstanding, which is a statement rather than a shape, and it takes the settled tint on both sides of the product.
Deliberately. A count on this door would mean either things happened, which is a feed, or things need you, which is what the screen already says in a sentence. On the morning nothing is blocked the badge would have to read zero, and a zero is the product asking to be checked.
Everything else on your four jobs is either moving or waiting on somebody who isn't you.
Not a second component. The dock, the two levels and the open-descends behavior are identical on both sides, because the only thing that differs between the two apps is what is behind the doors. A forked widget would have drifted inside a month.
Scheduling, daily logs, punch lists, estimating, bidding and purchase orders are deliberately out. The research is unambiguous that builders keep Excel for those and that every one of them is commodity. A fourth tile is not a gap waiting to be filled.
It holds the team and the contacts. Subs, vendors, architects, inspectors and lenders are contacts rather than users — sub is a relationship and not an identity — so there is no subs tab, and splitting People in two would be the org-chart shape this app refuses.
And two of yours came back overnight.

Send Sam and Nora the pickNot a different app and not a “desktop mode”. What differs is what her morning has on it — her work is compose, track, reconcile, so the register is her landing surface in practice even though Today is still the door.
Not yet, and here is why is neither an answer nor a failure: Ridgeline's decision is still open, the clock is still running, and Dave now knows the reason. It is the row most likely to be mistaken for a rejection if it is not given a state of its own. 32-the-deferral draws the recipient's half.
A text that cannot be matched to a send lands here, visible, with the reply and who sent it — because the alternative is that it lands nowhere and the reply path lies. We ask rather than guess, and the asking is a row in the register.

They already told me: record it insteadToday becoming a feed. It is one item or none, it is chosen by what is blocked rather than by what is recent, and it never scores anything. The moment a second item appears under the first, the screen has a queue in it, and a queue is work this product is refusing to invent. The tell to watch for is a count on the Today door.
Send becoming a Messages door. A reply is the other half of a send, not a message in a thread. Filing it as correspondence is how the answer stops being a fact about the house and becomes a chat bubble that is gone in a week. One register, two directions, and no inbox.
No aggregate margin, no portfolio dashboard. Both are real and both are his business. Neither is on the way to a job, and a Jobs list carrying portfolio metrics becomes a surface a builder checks instead of Today — which is how “one thing needs you” dies. Two surfaces competing to be the morning screen is the failure mode.
No tier anywhere. Nothing on any of these frames says whether Sam pays. Cedar Court's Ben Okonjo has no account and Ridgeline's Ana Duarte has none either, and the rows for all three jobs are identical in shape. This is the screen the no-upsell rule dies on first if it is going to.
