Working through your path

Three tabs carry most of your day: Today, Path, and the task itself.

Today

Today shows the one thing that matters right now: your current task, a Continue action, and roughly how much effort is left. It also surfaces anything waiting on someone else — mentor feedback you haven't read, or a revision request — without dumping your entire multi-year plan on the screen every time you open the app.

Path

Path is the hierarchical view of the whole apprenticeship: year → term → module → task. Each task shows one status:

  • Not started
  • In progress
  • Submitted
  • Revision requested
  • Approved

Most curricula are sequential — you submit earlier tasks before later ones become available for submission (you can still read ahead). A curriculum may instead allow random order. You can optionally overlay competency tags on the Path to see which tasks build which skills.

Task detail

Opening a task lays out, in order: Objective, Why this matters, Resources, Instructions, Evidence requirements, Acceptance criteria, your Notes, your Reflection, AI assistance, Submission, mentor feedback, and history. You don't need to hunt for what's expected — it's all on one screen.

Notes

Add a note at any point — your own thought, or a quoted passage from the instructions (select text, then Create note). Notes are plain Markdown files in your fork, so they're yours permanently, and you can link between them and tasks with a simple bracketed reference to a note or task id.

Logging work

Use Log work to record time against a task (e.g. 1h, 30m, or 1h 30m — up to 24h per entry, with an optional comment on what you did). Time logged on the task shows your running total, optionally next to the task's estimated effort. This is for your own record and your mentor's context, not a productivity score.

Saving vs. submitting

Reflections and notes autosave locally as you type, but nothing is durable — nothing survives a fresh install or reaches your mentor — until you explicitly Save reflection / Save work, which commits it to your fork. Submitting for review is a separate, deliberate action, covered in Submitting evidence for review.
