Reading Today's Summary

What it does

Today's summary is the card at the top of Home. It states, in one sentence, what is actually waiting for you, so you do not have to add it up from the sections underneath.

What the sentence is made of

It reads as one flowing line, with the numbers, names and dates picked out in bold. It can include up to four things:

  • How many tasks are due. Tasks due today or already overdue.
  • How many priority emails you have. The same number the Email Priorities screen shows.
  • Who has been chasing you, and how many times recently.
  • What is coming up soonest, taken from dates found in your email: a bill, a deadline or an event, with who it is with and when.

A full example reads:

You have 3 tasks due, and 7 priority emails — you've been chased by Priya Raman 2 times recently, and your deadline with Legal is due tomorrow.

with the counts, the name and the date picked out in bold on screen.

Anything with nothing to report simply drops out, and the sentence still reads properly. A quiet morning might be no more than You have 2 priority emails.

When there is nothing to report

The sentence is replaced by a single line:

✨ You're all caught up — nothing needs your attention right now.

If you have no email account connected, that becomes an invitation instead:

✨ You're all caught up, but why not connect your email so I can flag priority items?

With nothing connected there is no mail to flag, so the card suggests fixing that rather than claiming a clear run.

Can I assist?

The button at the bottom of the card, with the Warp avatar on it, opens Ask Warp. It is the fastest way to act on what the summary just told you: ask it to draft the replies, or to build you a plan for the day.

Tips & shortcuts

  • The summary never counts your meetings. Your events are in Today's schedule just below it.
  • It counts unread priority email, not your whole inbox. An inbox with hundreds of read newsletters in it still reads as caught up.
  • Snoozing a priority email lowers this number straight away, because the summary and the Priorities screen count the same emails.
  • A task you have hidden from Home is not counted here either, so the sentence and the list below always agree.
  • If you see a number with a + after it, such as 50+, there are at least that many. The app stops counting past a point rather than showing you a figure it cannot stand behind.
