Redesigned home pages that get out of your way
Now that the sidebar handles jumping between your existing dashboards, chats, automations, and data, each home page has a clearer job. The Dashboards home replaces the old list—which just duplicated the sidebar—with a “Jump back in” section showing the dashboards you’ve visited most recently, and header search now spans every dashboard and folder, including ones nested deep inside folders. The Automations home became a proper activity feed: failed runs now appear inline instead of quietly disappearing, and a red status dot in the sidebar flags any automation whose last run failed, so problems are easy to spot.
The Data page changed the most. There’s now a single Data home for everyone—admins and members alike—that lays out your warehouse and its connectors, your databases, and your MCP servers as clean cards. It’s built to answer two questions at a glance: what can Basedash see, and is it healthy? Connectors show real data freshness (“Synced 25 minutes ago”), MCP servers show how many tools they expose, anything broken sorts to the top, and a single “N sources need attention” line appears under the title only when something actually needs a look.
A better experience on mobile
We did a focused pass on Basedash on phones. The app now respects iOS safe areas everywhere, so content no longer tucks under notches, home indicators, or the status bar, and the safe-area gutters are painted to match the app chrome. Tapping into a form field no longer triggers Safari’s jarring auto-zoom, and we removed the native scroll-edge blur that could smear the header on newer iOS.
The chat home also got tidied up on small screens, with suggestions moved directly above the composer and spacing that lines up with the rest of the mobile layout.
Favorite your chats
You can now favorite a chat, the same way you already can with dashboards, charts, folders, and automations. Favorite or unfavorite from the chat list’s context menu or the chat page header (the Alt+F shortcut works too), and your favorited chats show up in the sidebar’s Favorites section for quick access. It’s a small thing that makes the conversations you keep coming back to much easier to find.
