Overview

When you sign in, the dashboard is where you land. It's optimized for one question: what should I look at right now? Starred boards, recent activity, and your inbox are all one click away.

The dashboard at a glance — sidebar, recent boards, and inbox in one view.

Anatomy of the dashboard

  1. 1

    Workspace switcher

    Top of the sidebar. Click your workspace name to jump between Acme, Personal, and any other workspace you belong to.

  2. 2

    Primary navigation

    Dashboard, Inbox, Boards, Search, and Templates — every part of Gryphin reachable in one click.

  3. 3

    Starred boards

    Hand-picked favorites. Click the star icon on any board to pin it here for instant access.

  4. 4

    Recent boards grid

    Boards you've touched in the last week, sorted by activity. The cover gradient or image makes them easy to spot.

  5. 5

    Activity feed

    Real-time stream of what your team is doing — mentions, status changes, and new comments.

  6. 6

    Universal search

    Top of every page. Hit Ctrl+K or "/" to focus it from anywhere.

Key features

Starred boards

Pin frequently-used boards so they're one click away every time you sign in.

Recents

Auto-tracked list of boards you've viewed lately — perfect for jumping back to work in progress.

Universal search

Find any card, board, comment, or member instantly. Filters narrow by date, type, or owner.

Inbox

Everything addressed to you: mentions, assignments, and due-soon cards in one tidy queue.

Templates

Browse pre-built workflows — sprints, bug trackers, content calendars, OKRs, and more.

Workspace switcher

Hop between workspaces in one click. Recent activity is per-workspace, never cross-contaminated.

Shortcuts to know

The dashboard is built for keyboard-first navigation. Memorize these four:

CtrlK
Open search & command palette
GH

GI
Jump to Inbox
C

💡
Tip
Drag workspaces in the sidebar to reorder them. The first workspace becomes your default landing place when you sign in.
