To-dos
The suggestion inbox
Action items wait until you add or dismiss them. Pick several at once and merge, group or accept them.
The inbox is the review step between a meeting and your to-do list. Suggestions are not to-dos yet: each one sits in the meeting's summary until you accept it or dismiss it, so nothing arrives on your list that you did not agree to.
How to use it
Open a meeting and look at the action items under the summary.
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Pick one suggestion | Click the row; it is tinted, and there are no checkboxes to hunt for |
| Pick several | ⌘-click or ⇧-click additional rows |
| Accept one | The ＋ button on the row (tooltip "Add to to-dos (A)") |
| Dismiss one | The ✕ button on the row (tooltip "Dismiss (D)") |
| Work on the selection | A bar appears once two rows are picked: "N selected", Merge, Group, Add to to-dos, Dismiss, Clear |
| Clear the selection | Clear, or Esc |
- Merge combines the selected suggestions into one to-do.
- Group makes one parent with the selected items as sub-items.
- Add to to-dos turns every selected suggestion into its own to-do.
Accepted items become rows in the To-dos list (see To-dos). Dismissed items do not.
Settings
There is no settings page for the inbox. Two related settings live elsewhere:
| Setting | Where | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Write action item descriptions with local AI after the summary | Settings → Meetings → After a meeting | Descriptions are drafted with the summary instead of on demand |
| Summarize automatically when the transcript is ready | Settings → Meetings → After a meeting | Fills the inbox without asking |
What is stored
| Item | Where |
|---|---|
| Suggestions you have not decided on | The meeting's summary.json |
| Suggestions you accepted | Rows in ~/Library/Application Support/Sonavia/workspace.sqlite3 |
| Suggestions you dismissed | Not added to the workspace |
A suggestion is never a to-do until you accept it, so dismissing one leaves the to-do list untouched.
What leaves your Mac
Nothing. Adding and dismissing suggestions are local edits.
When it is off or fails
- A meeting with no summary: there are no suggestions to review; write the summary first (see Summaries and action items).
- A duplicate-looking to-do: the app asks "Looks like … in your to-dos" with Add anyway and Skip, rather than adding a second copy silently.
- A meeting moved to the Trash: the to-dos made from it stay.
- Several similar items: Merge is the quickest fix, and it keeps the meeting link.
