# Boards and cards

How a Lair is laid out: boards with their own tabs, Home first, each full of cards.

## Your Lair, boards and cards

Three words cover everything:

- **Your Lair** is your whole private space at your own address, like “Sam’s Lair” at `sam.lair.page`.
- **Boards** are the pages in it. Each has its own tab at the top. **Home** is your first board, with your day on it. Make more boards for anything: work, a trip, money, a hobby.
- **Cards** are what’s on a board: your to-dos, calendar, weather, notes, checklists, live scores and prices, small apps. Any card can go on any board.
The [Library](https://help.lair.so/guides/library) has ready-made boards, single cards, full-page apps and integrations to add in a tap.

## Capture something quickly

On Home, choose **To-do**, **Note** or **Agents** in the quick-capture box. Type your thought and submit it. To-do adds a task, Note adds to Quick notes, and Agents sends it to the Agent Room. Use `@name` to ask a particular agent.

## Add a card

1. Open the board the card should go on.
2. Choose **Add card** above its cards.
3. Pick a note, checklist, countdown, links, a video, map or playlist, a live card from any web API, or your own app card.

For ready-made cards (scores, prices, Wikipedia, a quote of the day and many more), choose **More cards in the Library**, or open **Library → Cards**, pick the board at the top, and add any card. Built-in cards such as Weather or Up next exist once: the Library shows where each one is and can move it to another board.

## Arrange a board

Choose **Arrange** to move and resize the cards on a board. A card’s menu can pin it in place, choose when it comes up (morning, afternoon or night), hide it, or **move it to another board**.

In **Settings → Boards**, see every card on every board, show or hide them and choose when each comes up. To start Home over, use a layout in **Library → Boards → Layouts for Home**. Read the confirmation first: hidden cards stay, nothing is deleted.

## Make another board

1. Choose **New board** at the end of the board tabs.
2. Give it a name, like “Trip to Japan” or “Money”.
3. Add cards to it, or ask an agent to fill it for you.

Or add a ready-made board from the [Library](https://help.lair.so/guides/library): it arrives full of cards that keep themselves up to date. Rename or delete a board from its **⋯** menu or in Settings → Boards. Deleting a board deletes the cards on it; built-in cards go back to Home, hidden.

A board can also be one **full-page app**, like a habit tracker or a journal, that fills its whole tab. See [apps and app cards](https://help.lair.so/guides/html-tools).

Home is always free. Free has room for 3 more boards and Pro for 20; full-page apps count as boards.
