The Inbox is where the loop reports back to you: someone mentions you in a task description, work on your tasks finishes or fails, or your machine can no longer run work. Open it, glance, jump to the task — then clear it in one action.

Prerequisites

  • A Cogno workspace you’re a member of.

Open your Inbox

Select Inbox in the sidebar. Unread notifications show a count next to the entry (99+ once you pass 99). On a phone, Inbox sits in the footer bar. Notifications list newest first, grouped under Today, Yesterday, This Week, and Earlier. Each row shows who or what acted, what happened, a preview of the message, and the task it belongs to; unread rows carry a dot. On the desktop app, new notifications also raise a system notification (New notificationsN new items in your Inbox).

What lands here

Task comment threads no longer exist, so the old comment-mention and reply notifications are no longer produced — rows from before the change may still appear in your history.

Browse and act

1

Search or narrow to unread

Type into Search notifications to filter the list. Select Unread only to hide what you’ve read; it flips to Show all to bring everything back. Read rows stay in the list by default — reading clears the marker, not the row.
2

Open the notification

Select a row to mark it read and open its task in the side peek. A machine notification has no task — opening it takes you to Settings → Machines instead, where the details live.
3

Load older notifications

Select Load more at the bottom to fetch the next page.

Clear everything at once

When you have unread notifications, Mark all read appears in the header. It only changes read state — nothing is deleted and no task changes.
