Dashboard overview

Your dashboard is the home screen at /app — a snapshot of recent submissions and the forms you've touched most recently. It's designed so you can answer "anything new?" in a single glance.

What you'll see

The dashboard is split into two stacked panels:

  • New responses — a feed of the most recent submissions across every form you own, with the date and a preview of the first text answer. Each item is clickable; tapping it takes you straight to the response detail panel.
  • Recent forms — cards for the six forms you've edited or opened most recently. Each card shows the form's title, status (Draft or Live), question count, and lifetime response count.

Live vs Draft

A form is Draft until you click Publish. Drafts can still be edited and previewed, but their public URL returns "Form not published" until you publish.

Tips

  • The response previews truncate to ~80 characters — for the full submission, open the response detail panel.
  • The dashboard auto-refreshes every time you navigate back to /app — no need to hard-reload to see new submissions.
  • On mobile, the dashboard collapses into a single column with the same two panels stacked.

Empty state

Brand-new accounts see a friendly "let's get started" prompt with a single Create your first form button. Click it to jump into the new-form wizard.

FAQs

The three tabs (Dashboard, Forms, Settings) are fixed, but you can drag forms within the Forms tab to reorder them. Dragging persists across reloads.

The sidebar shows your most recent forms. Older ones are still on your Dashboard, and you can use search (Ctrl/Cmd+K) to jump to any form by name regardless of how long ago you opened it.

The dashboard, responses, and account pages are fully redesigned for mobile (see the May 2026 update on the changelog). The form builder itself still requires a desktop browser — squeezing a block menu onto a phone is on the roadmap.
