Getting around

GardenOS is built to be used like an app, so getting back to where you were should feel the same as a back button in your browser.

Going back

Every screen that has somewhere to return to shows a back control in the top-left: a back arrow next to the name of the page you’re on.

• On a phone, tap the back arrow, or swipe in from the left edge of the screen.
• On a computer, click the back arrow or press Alt and the left arrow key.

Back takes you to the exact place you came from, with your list filters, sort, and scroll position intact. Open a task from a filtered task list and go back, and you land on that same filtered list, not a reset one. The same holds for the map: if you were planning and you open an asset, going back returns you to the map the way you left it.

If you opened a screen from a direct link or right after launching the app, there’s no earlier screen to return to, so back steps up one level instead (a task goes to the task list, a section goes to your garden home), and it never drops you out of the app.

Where things live

The bottom bar is your main navigation: Today, Tasks, Capture, Log, and Conditions, with More for everything else. Switching gardens keeps you on the same section rather than bouncing you to Today, and the garden you’re in is shown in the garden switcher at the top.

Opening the app fresh always starts you on Today, your home base for the day.
