The inbox

The inbox is one list, across all your spaces, of things that concern you. Not an activity feed — nothing lands there because it happened, only because it needs you:

  • Items assigned to you (or to a team you're in).
  • Mentions — someone wrote @you in a comment, a description, or a document.
  • Documents you own, including ones whose review date has passed.

The inbox: everything that needs you, nothing that doesn't.

Done work leaves by itself

When an item you're assigned to reaches a completion state, it disappears from your inbox without your help. Finished work doesn't need acknowledging. If the item is ever reopened, it returns — at the top.

Dismiss and snooze

Each row can be dismissed (you've seen it, handled it, or don't care) or snoozed: an hour, four hours, tomorrow morning, next Monday. Review reminders offer longer snoozes in proportion to their review cadence.

Dismissals and snoozes sync across your devices — handle something on your laptop and it's gone from your phone too.

Why this instead of notification emails?

Email notifications put a second, worse copy of your work in a tool that can't act on it. The inbox is the same information, in the place where one click opens the item — and where "done" cleans up after itself. Wodo emails you about invitations and invoices; the rest stays here.
