Your first five minutes
The three starting questions, the board they build for you, and the First steps strip.
The first time you open Divergify you get three questions. They take about thirty seconds and they exist so you land on a board that already looks like yours, instead of an empty grid you have to furnish before you can use anything.
The three questions
- What makes you lose the thread? Pick everything that rings true — email piling up, appointments you forget, a thousand things to do, thoughts arriving all at once, habits that don't stick, staying focused. Each answer adds the widgets that deal with it.
- What do you want to see the moment you open it? Whatever you pick gets the biggest tile, top left, where your eyes land first.
- Here's your board. Drop anything you don't want before you go in.
Nothing here is permanent. You can add, remove, resize and rearrange every widget afterwards, and no answer locks you out of anything.
You can skip the wizard entirely — the button is in the bottom left. You will get the default board: to-dos, calendar, email, brain dump, an AI chat and the focus timer.
Running it again
Changed your mind about the whole layout? Open your profile and use Replay the walkthrough. It asks the same three questions and rebuilds the board from your new answers.
Careful with one thing: replaying rebuilds the layout. It does not delete your tasks, notes or events — those belong to their widgets, not to the arrangement.
First steps
Under the Cockpit you will see a small strip with three goals: create a task, try the assistant, make the board yours. It is a checklist, not a tutorial — do them in any order, or dismiss the strip with the × and it never comes back.
Each one ticks itself when you actually do the thing: the assistant goal, for instance, ticks the first time you ask it a real question, not when you merely open it.
Where to go next
- The board — arranging, pinning and resizing your widgets.
- The Cockpit — the band that answers "what now?"
- Ask Divergify — the assistant, and what it will and won't do.
