Timeline and Summaries - ONA.UNO Docs

Timeline structure

The timeline is your main workspace in ONA.UNO. Every item you’ve added — documents, web clippings, emails, notes, RSS articles — appears here in chronological order, grouped by day and then by daypart (morning, afternoon, evening, night).

This grouping gives you a natural rhythm for reviewing your content: you can see what arrived today, what happened yesterday afternoon, or what you were reading last Tuesday evening.

Smooth scrolling during heavy processing

When ONA.UNO is processing a large batch of new or changed items, the timeline stays responsive. Updates arrive in the background without freezing or interrupting your scrolling. If you’re reading something, that content updates first. Any manual actions you take (like regenerating a summary) always take effect immediately — background processing never blocks what you’re actively doing.

What you select drives what you see

The summary pane adapts to whatever you’ve selected in the timeline:

Click a single item to see its AI-generated summary and original content side by side.
Click a day header to get a day summary — a synthesis of everything that arrived that day.
Click a daypart to see a focused summary for that time block.
Commit a search and then click a day or daypart — the summary covers only the items matching your search within that time period.

This makes it easy to zoom in and out: broad day-level overviews when you want the big picture, individual item summaries when you need detail.

Citations and traceability

Every summary includes numbered citations linking back to the items it drew from. Click a citation to jump to that item in the timeline. Option-click (Alt-click) a citation to open the original source directly — the file, web page, or email that the item came from.

Advanced AI actions and summaries

Generating a new summary — for a day, a daypart, or a full item summary — counts as one Advanced AI action on the Free plan. This only applies when you manually request a summary and it completes successfully.

The following never count toward your quota: viewing a previously generated summary, failed or cancelled requests, micro summary regenerations, automatic summaries generated during processing, AI tags, AI titles, and semantic search. On Pro, there is no limit.

Regenerating summaries

If you want a fresh take on a summary, you can regenerate it. On Free, this counts as one Advanced AI action only when the regeneration completes successfully — so a failed or cancelled attempt costs nothing.

Micro summary regenerations are always free on both plans, though they do require a valid ONA.UNO license.

If regeneration is blocked for any reason (license issue, quota exhausted), ONA.UNO tells you why in the summary pane rather than silently showing stale content.

Copy and export

Nothing in ONA.UNO is locked behind the app. You can copy or export from any pane:

Copy summaries as Markdown, with or without citations
Copy original content or plain text
Export chat transcripts as Markdown, with or without source references
Drag items out of the timeline as Markdown files

These options work on every plan — Free and Pro.
