Choosing the interface

When you open Nozbe for the first time, the app will ask you if you want to work in a team, or alone.

If you decide that you want to use Nozbe for work, the app will show you the default interface.

If you select the personal use, the app will show you a simplified My Nozbe interface for solo users.

You can also choose the interface type when creating a new space:

Hitting “Create a New Space” will set up your space with the default interface, while choosing “Create a Personal Space” will enable the simplified My Nozbe interface in it.

Default interface

This is the default interface. If you decided to invite people to your space or were invited to one, Nozbe will look like this.

1. SPACES This panel shows you spaces that you own or have been invited to. Tap on a chosen space’s avatar to open the space. Hit the “Manage” button to create a new space, or join an existing one.

2. SEARCH and MAIN MENU Hit the magnifying glass icon to open Nozbe’s search engine. Here you can look up tasks, projects, people, comments, tags and sections.

Adjusting the interface

There are several ways you can adjust your app’s interface.

If you’d like to always have a certain project group at hand, you can choose to show it in the sidebar.

To do this, tap on the “…” icon next to the group’s name and choose “Show in sidebar”. The project group will now appear in the app’s sidebar.

You can also choose to display multiple groups in the sidebar, and change their order there by dragging and dropping them up or down.

Collapsing lists

You can collapse or minimize all the lists (Favorites, Active Projects, Followed Projects, and More). To do so, use the up/down arrow visible on the right side of the group name.
