Back to app

Getting around

Evengrow 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.

The anchor

Three things never move, so your thumb learns where they are: Home, Capture, and Browse. On a phone they sit in a fixed bar across the bottom, in the thumb zone. On a computer they sit at the top of a rail down the left side. Wherever you are in the app, those three are in the same place.

  • Home takes you to Today, your home base for the day.
  • Capture is the talk-or-type box where you say what happened (“planted 6 romas in bed 2”) and the app files it for you. If you have view-only access to a garden, you won’t see Capture, since it only writes.
  • Browse opens the full app.

Browse

Browse is the complete index of every page, grouped so you can scan it: Daily, Records, Insight, and My Stuff. Nothing is hidden in a menu you have to hunt for; if a page exists, it’s listed here.

Pages that need a higher plan stay visible with a small lock instead of disappearing, so you always see what the app can do. Tapping a locked page shows you what unlocks it. The menu never changes shape when your plan changes, only the locks do.

My Menu

My Menu is yours to build. Pin the pages you use most from Browse, then group and name them however you like. It starts empty and is completely optional, since Browse already gets you anywhere. Your menu follows you across devices.

Two more things

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.
