Haruno Knowledge base

Projects

A project keeps the chats, files, folders and web pages for one piece of work together. The Projects row in the sidebar opens the library of projects.

  • Mac appAvailablesince 1.3.61
  • Windows appAvailable

A project keeps everything for one piece of work in one place: its chats, the files and folders you link to it, web pages, scheduled tasks and what Haruno has learned along the way.

Projects is a row in the sidebar. Press ⌘3 to open it. Both the normal view and the advanced view have it.

Projects take the place of Files

Haruno no longer asks you for a folder before you can chat. There is no Files row and no app-wide folder. A chat in a project works in a folder Haruno keeps for that project. A chat outside any project works in a folder of its own.

File ▸ Open or Create Project… (⌘O) opens the library, where you open a project or make a new one.

The library

The library lists your projects. Pinned projects come first, then the rest.

  • A row shows the project's name, its purpose and the date it last changed.
  • Double-click a row, or press Return, to open it.
  • Search projects finds a project by name or purpose.
  • The switch at the top right moves between Projects and Archived.
  • The plus button (New project, ⇧⌘N) makes a new project.

Click the ⋯ button on a row, or right-click it, for these actions:

ActionWhat it does
Open projectOpens the project
Edit project details…Changes the name and the purpose
Pin project / Unpin projectKeeps it at the top of the list
Archive project / Restore projectMoves it out of, or back into, your active list
Delete project…Deletes it after a confirmation

When you have no project yet, the library says A place for your next idea and offers Create project.

  1. Start a project

    Press ⇧⌘N, or click the plus button in the library.

  2. Name it

    Type a Project name. The Purpose (optional) line is a short note about what the project is for. No folder or connection is needed.

  3. Create it

    Click Create project. The new project opens.

Inside a project

A project's page has the project's name at the top and these tabs:

TabWhat it is for
HomeContinue your last chat, see what the project knows and what you did lately
ChatsThe chats in this project
SourcesThe files, folders, pages and companies linked to it
CompaniesThe companies Haruno read from annual reports. This tab appears only after one has been read
AutomationsThe scheduled tasks that belong to this project
SettingsName, memory, documents, archive and delete
A project's Home tab. The project is a made-up one.
A project page with the tabs Home, Chats, Sources, Automations and Settings, a Continue chat line, what the project knows, and recent workA project page with the tabs Home, Chats, Sources, Automations and Settings, a Continue chat line, what the project knows, and recent work

In the window's toolbar, the arrow on the left goes back one level (All projects, then Back to sources and so on). The plus button (Add source) links something to the project.

Home

Continue chat opens the chat you used last. New chat starts another one. In a project with no chat yet, the button says Start a chat.

What this project knows shows a short summary. Its Project memory link opens the project memory page.

Recent work lists the chats, documents and pages you used lately, newest first, under Today, Yesterday and dates. Click one to open it.

Chats

New chat starts a chat in the project. Add existing chat… brings a chat you already have into it. Click a chat to open it. The ⋯ button on a chat has Move to project, with each other project and Unassigned. See Chats in a project.

Automations

New automation sets up a scheduled task for the project. Add existing automation… brings an existing one in. A project's tasks start at the times you set. Starting a task when mail or a message arrives is still in development. See Scheduled tasks.

Archive and delete

Archiving keeps the project and its history and takes it out of your active list. Its scheduled tasks pause. An archived project takes no new chats, and the buttons that add things to it are off. Restore project brings it back.

Deleting asks first. The confirmation lists how many chats, automations and documents are involved. The chats stay in History as chats outside any project. The project's automations are paused and left without a project. The project's memory and the documents Haruno saved in the project are removed. Files you linked stay where they are. A task that is running must stop before the project can be deleted.

Haruno remembers where you were

When you quit and open Haruno again, it opens the project page you were on, on the same tab.

Every company has a project

Each company in the Portfolio gets a project of its own. See Company projects.

What to tell a customer

A project is a folder of work. Put the chats, the files and the web pages for one piece of work in it, and Haruno uses them together. The originals stay where they are. Haruno does not change a file you linked unless you choose Allow edits for its folder.
