Steps
1
Look at the left rail
The bar on the left is the rail. It holds the whole navigation. On a phone
it is hidden behind a menu button at the top; tap the button to open it.
On a computer you can fold the rail to save space and drag its edge to make
it wider or narrower.You will see these entries:
- Home is your start page.
- Monitoring shows how your homelab runs.
- Tools groups the kombify tools. Techstack, StackKits and Companion are there, and Workpaths is where you review runs and approvals. Simulate and Paperwork appear only when they are available for your account.
- Docs opens this documentation.
2
Rest the pointer on a tool
On a computer, a small card opens next to a tool entry. It lists that
tool’s own things, for example your connected machines under Techstack or
your recent sessions under Companion. If a list cannot be read, the card
says so. That is not the same as having nothing yet.
3
Open Home
Home greets you and shows your homelab: a line that tells you how many apps
answer and how many machines are online, a search field for your apps and
use cases, and a card for each use case. If you have none yet, choose Add
your first use case.Choose Arrange to put the use cases you use most first. The first one
gets the large card. The order is saved on this device only for now.
4
Check the Feed
The bell labelled Feed in the rail shows what needs you. Open it to
read items, mark them read or dismiss them, and Open Feed shows the
full list with the views Active, Unread, Needs you, Resolved and Archive.
To choose what reaches you, see
Choose what kombify tells you.

Open the account menu
At the bottom of the rail, your name opens the account menu with
Settings, Billing, the display and language controls and Sign
out. Plans and invoices are covered in
Change or cancel your plan.

Look through Settings
Settings has these tabs, in this order:
Check that it worked
You know your way around when you can open Home, the Feed and Settings without searching for them.Replay the introduction
In Settings, Account, the section about getting started has buttons to replay the setup and the introduction whenever you want.If something goes wrong
- A tool entry is missing. Some tools show only when they are available for your account. Your plan decides what you can use; see Plans and billing.
- A hover card says a list could not be read. Wait a moment and move the pointer onto the entry again.
- You are sent back to the login page. Your session ended. Sign in again; see Sign-in problems and account basics.
- Still stuck. Write to info@kombify.io and say which page you were on and when it happened. Never send a password.
