The app

Markdown

What each part of the app does, and where to find it.

Your app lives at app.D. The menu on the left stays put, and the right side shows whatever you pick. On a phone, the menu moves to the bottom of the screen.

#The menu

Item Path What it is for
Overview / Is each part public, and what is waiting for you
Home /home Your home page: its look, versions and settings
Blog /blog Posts, categories, the blog's name and look
Your other pages /<page> One item per page, for example /drum
Journal /journal Your private journal (marked with a lock)
Address /settings/address Your site's address and your own domain
Visitors /visitors How many people visited recently
AI permissions /apps What every AI may do, and connecting your own AI
Account /account Email, Face ID / fingerprint sign-in, password, sign out

At the top is your site card with its name and address. If you manage more than one site, tap it to switch.

#Overview

Overview is the first screen. It has one card for each part of your site (the home page, the blog, each page and the journal). Each card shows:

  • whether that part is Public or Not public, and at which address, for example D/blog;
  • anything waiting for you, such as a new version an AI made, with Publish and Discard buttons.

Below the cards, Recent changes lists who changed what: you, Ownsite AI, or an AI you connected, such as "Claude made a new home page version".

The journal card only says that it is private. It never shows what you wrote.

#Ownsite AI

The ✦ Ownsite AI button opens the built-in AI next to whatever you are doing. You can ask it how something works, or ask it to do the work. See Ownsite AI.
