One shell. Two horizons. Twelve apps.

The navigation model is explicit at system level: horizons first, app library second, object pivots always available. The icon layer is part of that contract, not an afterthought.

Layer 1

Universal shell

Persistent destinations stay limited to Tonight, This week, Search, and Apps. Capture stays separate.

Layer 2

App library

The full library remains legible with one icon, one name, and one descriptor per app row across desktop and compact widths.

Layer 3

Object pivots

Related in Settle exposes the next useful app directly, so a stay can pivot into Wallet, Wash, Outlet, or Desk without faux browser-back behavior.

Expanded-width shell

On wide screens the shell keeps the full app library visible. Horizons use stable destination icons, every app row keeps its own app icon, and linked pivots in the context rail stay explicit.

Operational horizon

Tonight / tomorrow morning

This is the default landing surface. It carries the next 12–18 hours across shelter, hygiene, charge, work, and spending without forcing the user through category browse first.

Rule

Back is local.

Switching apps is explicit. Cross-app pivots create temporary return affordances, but the shell never makes the user hammer browser-like back to move between apps.

That stability matters when the same stay needs to be checked through Spot, Wash, Outlet, Desk, and Wallet in the same hour.

Compact-width shell

On phones the bottom bar stays limited to four destinations and keeps labels visible. Capture floats separately, and the full library opens as an explicit app sheet with one app icon per row.
