Smart Grouping
Same-type notifications from the same person within a 30-minute window are merged into a single item with a "+N more" expansion to reduce noise.
Forward Section: Where You Left Off + Tips
Above the activity stream, the All tab shows a short forward-looking section once Cadeo has enough signal to be useful:
- Where you left off — a single card pointing back at the task or note you were last working on, so the planner doesn't feel cold when you reopen Cadeo.
- Activity tips — up to two short, data-grounded hints about how you're using Cadeo. Each tip comes from one of three places:
- Duration patterns — once a particular priority bucket consistently takes 30%+ longer or shorter than you estimate (across at least five completed tasks), Cadeo surfaces the gap so you can adjust your estimates.
- Area balance — when one tracked Area accounts for 70%+ of your tracked time in a week, the tip flags the imbalance.
- Morning brief takeaways — occasional one-line callbacks to insights from your morning brief.
Tips are intentionally rare — they only appear when there's real signal behind them. If a tip family isn't useful to you, dismiss it three times (the × on each card) and Cadeo will stop showing that family for 30 days.
