Cloudbase molds to how you work. Modes are the same idea applied to when you work: name a mode, choose what belongs on screen in it, and the room quiets down on its own. Tuesday at ten looks nothing like Saturday at nine, and it shouldn't.
I have ADHD. Nobody diagnosed me; I've just spent forty years noticing that if there are nine things in front of me I will do none of them, and that a screen full of everything is a screen I close.
Every tool I tried solved this by shouting louder — badges, counts, streaks, red dots on the things I was already avoiding. So my own Cockpit got a dial that hid most of it, and the difference wasn't small. It's the reason I still use the thing.
If your attention works like mine, this isn't a nice-to-have. It's the difference between opening the app and avoiding it.
Hiding mileage on a Saturday doesn't turn mileage off. The instrument is running, the trips are recording, the setup is exactly as you left it. You're simply not looking at it, and one tap puts it back.
That's the whole reason this feels calm instead of frightening. There is no version of using modes that loses you anything.
Working Saturday? Flip to Work mode and it stays there. The clock suggests; it never decides.
It asks before it changes anything, and a running timer keeps running through a switch.
Modes belong to a person, not a workspace. Nobody can set yours, and nobody can see them — not even the owner.
“Everything” sits at the bottom of the mode list forever. Deleting a mode deletes a view and nothing else.
Turned all the way down, a mode just hides panels. Turned up a notch or two, off-hours starts to feel like off-hours. It defaults to almost silent, because a tool that tries too hard to be charming stops being a tool.
White goes to paper, blue goes to brass, and there's more air between things. Same fonts, same furniture.
The quote on your Cockpit knows what day it is. Something to get you moving on a Tuesday; something to slow you down on a Sunday.
What you saved for later, one thing a week I thought was worth your Saturday, and a note from me. No unread count, nothing expires.
Evening mode can say you can close the laptop. The exact opposite of every notification you've ever had from a work tool.
Then don't turn it on, and Cloudbase behaves exactly as it does today — everything visible, all the time. That's a perfectly good way to work and most people will use it that way.
No. Never. A hidden instrument still runs its reports, still gets its 4am job done. Hiding is about your eyes, not the machine.
It lands, quietly, and it's there when you look. Modes change what's on screen; they never suppress the email you asked for, and nothing is lost by not being watched.
It's the former, built by someone who needed it. The warm paper and the Saturday reading are the gimmicks, they're optional, and they're off unless you ask.
No, and they can't see yours either. A mode is a personal setting on a personal Cockpit — the same way your links, your notebook and your music are yours.
No. It's part of the standard set at $24 a month, like everything except video. Nothing here is held back for a tier that doesn't exist.
Two weeks free, no card, and modes are one screen to set up with three of them ready to go. If it isn't for you, one tap says “Everything” and you never think about it again.
