Tips

Before you type, Jevie offers what you can do right now, made from the app, page or file in front of you, never a generic list.

How it works

Every part of Jevie offers its own tips from the facts of the moment: the app or page in front, a session waiting on you, a port listening, music paused. With nothing real to say, it says nothing, so there are fewer tips rather than filler.

What will not wait, like a call, comes first. A tip you keep passing by rests for a few days. On a new install, For you is short until it has something to read: it then ends with what would fill it - Tell me what you follow, Connect Google, Sign in to GitHub - and the code it knows about is wherever Claude Code or Codex worked, not only in ~/Repos.

On the phone, the tips are a longer list of what holds wherever you are: a waiting session, a download, a trial about to renew. Hide suggestions under the greeting folds them away, and they stay folded until you tap Show suggestions.

Limits

• The Mac palette doesn't draw tips on its own: they are made for the phone and for what can I do here, and shown on the Mac by the suggestions card.
• Tips are never examples: they are only about something really there.
• Pages, Keynote, Numbers, Excel, PowerPoint and Notes documents get no tips.

Where it's kept
