The Trevally Dashboard: Mission Control for Your Network

Every article so far has explored one room of the Trevally house: the contact cards, the lists, the imports, your own card. The Dashboard is the control room: the one screen where everything reports in. And it's not a static chart page: almost every widget is live (several refresh themselves every few seconds), and most panels are interactive. You can approve a request, mark a contact as important, download a file or check off a task right there, without leaving the page.

Let's walk it top to bottom.

Your account at a glance

The strip at the top shows your plan (with an Upgrade button on the Free plan), and right below it, Usage Statistics: the census of everything Trevally holds for you: messages sent, storage used, files stored, contacts, Kanban boards, contact lists, attachments, importing sources and shared files. Items with a plan limit show a progress bar against it; the ones without a limit are marked as Unlimited.

It's also a quiet map of the product: every counter is a feature you can go use: lists, importing sources, shared files.

What happened this week

Three cards keep score of the week:

Great News 🎉: the friendliest widget on the page, it tells you who added you as a contact. Someone out there just saved you; that's usually a conversation waiting to happen.

Contacts Synced: how many new people entered your contact base this week, with a trend against last week shown as a percentage with a green or red indicator.

Synced Attachments does the same accounting for files received.

And because your inbox is also your agenda, Latest Calendar Events collects the .ics invitations found in your mail, each one downloadable straight into your calendar app.

The relationship radar

Here's the widget that deserves its own headline: "Want to hear from them?" It lists contacts who recently appeared in your mailbox, each with their last-interaction date and an expandable preview of recent messages. The hidden gem is the pair of thumbs next to every name: Yes tells Trevally this is a relationship you care about; No tells it the opposite. It's how you separate the people you want to keep close from the noise. Once a contact is marked as important, Trevally can help you stay on top of that relationship and its communications instead of letting it slip.

Next to it lives the Trusted Contacts queue you know from the Personal Card article: everyone waiting for permission to receive your card updates, one Approve or Deny away, and the list refreshes itself, so new requests appear while you watch.

Your work, surfaced

Two widgets bring your own activity to the front so nothing hides inside individual cards:

Upcoming Tasks: your Tasky to-dos with priority flags, checkboxes and a New Task button right there.

Contacts Notes: your latest notes across all contacts, timestamped, so yesterday's meeting note is one glance away instead of buried in a card's Notes tab.

The flow of stuff

Your network isn't just people. It's what they send you:

Top file Senders: a 30-day ranking of who sends you the most files.

Most recent Attachments received: the latest ten files, each with sender, subject line and a download button. No inbox digging.

Most recent Links received: the subtle one: Trevally extracts links from the bodies of your messages, not just attachments, and lines them up with an Open button each.

The big picture

At the analytical end of the page, two widgets zoom out:

General Metrics: your daily averages over the last 30 days: new contacts, messages, attachments. The pulse of your network in three numbers.

Data Growth: a stacked timeline of messages, files and new contacts, week by week. You can literally see the busy weeks. Hovering any bar breaks the day down.

Five minutes a morning

That's the dashboard: your week's score, your pending approvals, your tasks and notes, the files and links that arrived, and a widget that lets you mark which relationships matter. Five minutes here each morning and your network is briefed, triaged and moving.
