What are Reels

Astell's recurring status report on your loops, delivered morning and night in your own timezone, browsable as a timeline.

What is a reel?

A reel is Astell's recurring, automatic status report on your open loops: what is open, what changed since your last reel, and what needs you. It is the same underlying report as an Astell Audit, rebuilt as a timeline you can move back through.

Every reel has the same structure:

• TL;DR: a short written summary that opens the reel
• Pulse: exact counts of your loops by status (broken, at risk, open, on track)
• What changed: movement since your previous reel, including loops that wrapped up
• Optional sections: loops that need you, the latest loops, upcoming deadlines, and a short notebook

The required sections appear on every reel, so a reel from today lines up against one from last week. The optional sections can be turned off in Reels settings.

Morning and nightly reels

Turn reels on and you get a morning reel and a nightly reel, generated automatically in your own timezone at the times you choose. The morning reel covers what moved since last night; the nightly reel wraps the day. Reels are off until you turn them on in Reels settings.

Quiet days

When nothing open needs you, the reel still arrives as a calm all clear: real zeros in the counts, any loops that wrapped up, and what is coming next. A quiet day is a normal reel, not an error, and it costs nothing to generate.

The Reels timeline

The Reels app shows your history newest first. Open any reel to read it in full; the timeline itself stays light, so browsing months of history stays fast. Loops mentioned in a reel link straight into the Loops app.
