The Home screen explained

A tour of Home: the decisions inbox, trip cards with Preflight progress and chat, plans waiting for review, notifications, and the buttons that start everything.

Verified for Limbo 2.3.10 · 2026-07-16

Home is Limbo's front door: your trips, the decisions waiting on you, and everything that arrived while you were away. Every signed-in member sees the same layout; some pieces only appear when there's something for them to show.

The header, left to right

  • Trip Passes ticket, where the greeting used to sit, the top-left now shows your Trip Passes balance: a ticket with your remaining count beside it, green normally, red when you've run out. Tap it to open the shop and top up. On Planner Pass the ticket turns purple and the count disappears, so you're unlimited.
  • Plans waiting for review, a circular envelope button. It pulses when new plans are waiting, and a red badge shows how many you haven't seen yet (capped at 99+). These are bookings Limbo parsed from forwarded confirmation emails. Tap it to review each card, choose its trip, decide whether to keep the original email and files, then Confirm & Add or Delete it.
  • Offline cloud, appears when you're offline, syncing saved work, or need to review a failed change or conflict. Tap once to expand the status, then again to sync or open Offline sync. You can keep working; changes stay saved until they reach the server.
  • Notifications bell, opens your notifications inbox. A badge shows your unread count, and tapping any notification jumps straight to the trip, plan, or ballot it's about.
  • Your avatar, opens Settings: account, crew, notification preferences, and archived trips.

The decisions inbox

When any trip has a ballot waiting on your vote, a horizontal row of decision cards appears above your trips, one card per pending ballot, sorted so the tightest deadline comes first. Cards only show while the ballot is still open; once a deadline passes, the card goes away.

The row also acts as your lightweight Decision Center: if decisions are waiting across more than one trip, Home shows how many trips need attention; each card names the trip, shows whether more decisions are grouped with it, and tells you whether the crew is still waiting on votes. Tight deadlines get a small nudge like Due today or Vote now.

  1. 1
    Tap Yes, No, or Abstain directly on the card. Once your vote is saved, the card clears from your inbox.
  2. 2
    Or tap the card itself to open that trip's voting dashboard for the full ballot, deadline, and details.

Every eligible adult who has joined the trip can vote on their own pending ballots. To change or remove your vote while the ballot is still open, open the trip, raise any section, then go to Voting → Votes. If you remove it, the ballot returns to the Decisions inbox because it needs your choice again.

Trip cards

Each upcoming trip gets a card. On it:

  • Tap the card to open the trip's map-first Hub. The map shows where your plans are, while a draggable Hub sheet keeps your crew, chat, Pitch In, add-plan button, and trip sections close by.
  • Preflight ring, a small percentage ring in the top-left of upcoming trips, shows how close you are to being ready. It appears once Limbo has enough trip details to build your Preflight list; past trips don't show it.
  • Avatar stack, the faces of your crew, shown once the trip has at least two members.
  • Chat bubble, appears alongside the crew avatars and opens that trip's chat directly. A red badge on the bubble counts messages you haven't read.

If you have no upcoming trips yet, Home shows a hint box pointing you at Add trip instead.

Start or join a trip

Tap the floating + in the bottom-right corner to add a trip. When the offline cloud is visible, it sits immediately beside the add button and expands only when you tap it.

The New Trip form starts with Have an invite code? → Join a trip. Tap that row to enter a six-character code, preview the trip, and join instead of creating one. Anyone with a valid code can join; no special role is needed.

Permissions

member Everything on Home is available to every signed-in member. What varies is visibility: the decisions inbox needs a pending ballot, the trip-card chat shortcut needs two or more crew members, and the chat unread badge needs unread messages.
