Today

Today is your opening view in Evengrow. It is the calm, present-focused half of the app: it answers one question, what needs you right now, and then helps you close the loop. The forecasting and the metrics live on Workload and the garden Dashboard, not here.

What you see

At the top, a small load bar sums today’s estimated effort into a light/steady/busy read, and a 7-day strip gives a glance at how the next week looks. Then the day’s tasks, sorted by urgency:

  1. Overdue — tasks past their due date that are still open
  2. Due today — tasks due right now
  3. In progress — tasks you have already started
  4. Upcoming — tasks due in the next few days

Each task shows its type, the planting or asset it belongs to, and an estimated time.

When the five-day forecast for your garden’s location holds a frost or a heat spike, a weather row sits above the tasks with the low or high and the day it lands (“tonight”, “tomorrow”, “on Thursday”). Tap it to open Conditions for the full forecast and the rain and wind risks. It only appears when there is something to prepare for.

Completing a task

Tap Mark done on a task to complete it. It leaves Today immediately and moves to your history. The minutes field beside the button is filled in with the task’s estimate; change it if the job ran short or long, and the Workload forecast learns from it. Defer pushes a task to another day if today is too full.

A gentle note

When something is worth a nudge — a planting that is ready, a week that is spiking, an overdue task — Today shows a short note. The whole note is tappable and takes you straight to the thing it is about.

Enough for today

When you are done, Enough for today closes the loop with a calm “garden is set, rest well” screen. It is a deliberate stopping point, not a measure of how much you got through.

Capturing something

Tap Capture (the microphone icon in the nav) to open a note field. Speak or type what you observed, want to do, or planted. Evengrow parses your note and shows you a preview of what it found — you confirm before anything is saved.

See Capture note for the full guide.

The daily email

Today only helps if you open it. The daily email is the one thing that reaches you when the app is closed. Every morning (around 8am Eastern) Evengrow checks each garden you belong to and sends one plain-text email when there is something to act on:

  • Overdue and due today tasks, the same ones the notification bell counts
  • The soonest frost or heat risk in the five-day forecast, which also leads the subject line
  • How many AI suggestions are waiting for a decision

A quiet day sends nothing. Each garden in the mail links straight to its Today page.

If a garden has daily AI suggestions turned on (Settings, AI), the morning run now happens before the email goes out, so the suggestions are there when you open the app instead of appearing after you do.

Turn the email on or off under Preferences, Email address (the “Daily email” checkbox). It is on by default from onboarding; unticking it stops the mail entirely.

Tips

  • Today shows tasks for the garden you are currently in. Switch gardens using the switcher at the top of the sidebar, or go to All gardens to see urgent tasks across every garden you manage.
  • If Today looks empty, your open tasks may not have due dates. Set them on the Tasks page.
  • The AI can propose tasks for you — tap Propose tasks on the Tasks page or in Workload.
