Groups and layouts
Organize your mosaic into colored groups, each with its own set of layout tabs.
- Desktop
The Command Center toolbar is a Chrome-tab-style strip of groups and layouts. Use them to keep separate workspaces — one per project, one per role, one for “morning standup”, whatever fits.
The model
- A group is a colored chip with a name. It owns one or more layout tabs.
- A layout is a saved tile arrangement — which tiles are pinned, where, and how the splits are sized.
- Only one layout is active at a time. Switching layouts swaps the entire mosaic in place.
A new install starts you with one group and one untitled layout.
Group chips
Each group renders as a colored pill at the left of the toolbar. The chip is followed inline by every layout tab that belongs to it, like Chrome tab groups.
- Click a chip to switch to that group’s active layout.
- Double-click a chip to rename the group.
- Right-click a chip for a menu with rename, recolor, pop out, delete.
- The x on the chip deletes the entire group (with confirm). The last group can’t be deleted; you always have at least one.
- Drag a layout tab onto a chip to move that layout into a different group.
Group color is purely visual. Pick a color that maps to how you think — one per project, one per phase of work.
Layout tabs
Layout tabs sit to the right of their group chip.
- Click a tab to make that layout active.
- Double-click a tab to rename it.
- The x closes the layout. The last tab in a group can’t be deleted on its own; deleting it is treated as deleting the group.
- Drag a tab to reorder it within the group, or onto another group’s chip to move it.
Adding more
Trailing the strip on the right:
- + Layout — add an empty layout to the active group.
- + Group — create a new group. A fresh untitled layout is added automatically so the group isn’t empty.
What persists
Groups, layouts, group colors, layout names, the active layout per group, and the entire pin tree (including split sizes and tile colors) are saved locally so they survive restarts. They live on the desktop machine where you set them up; they are not synced to the portal or mobile.
