Glossary

To help you get familiar with SingularityApp and speak the same language as we do, we’ve created this glossary. It includes and explains all the key concepts and interface elements you’ll encounter in the app and in our Knowledge Base.

Terms and Definitions

Left Panel (Sidebar)

Handles navigation throughout the app. It contains system folders, project folders, and other structural elements.

The panel width can be adjusted by dragging its right edge. When you hover the cursor over the edge and pause briefly, it becomes highlighted. When reduced to the minimum width, the left panel automatically collapses, freeing up maximum space for the main workspace. In this collapsed state, only icons for system folders, projects, and navigation elements are shown. Double-clicking the edge restores the panel to its default width.

Central Panel

The main workspace of the app. Depending on the scenario, it can consist of one or two sections:

  • content panel — the main list of items (tasks, notes, habits, etc.);
  • secondary panel — detailed information about the selected list item.

The width of both the content and secondary panels can be adjusted by dragging their side borders. The border highlights on hover, and double-clicking it resets the size to the default. When the minimum width is reached, horizontal scrolling appears, allowing you to view all content even when the panel is narrow.

Right Panel

Designed for auxiliary tools and can display:

Only one type of content can be displayed in the panel at any given time.

For example, if tags are open in the right panel, switching to filters will automatically replace them with filter settings.

The width of the right panel is adjusted by dragging its left edge. When you hover over the edge, it becomes highlighted, and double-clicking it restores the panel to its standard size. When reduced to the minimum width, horizontal scrolling appears, allowing you to view all panel content.

Controls
