The Command Vault dashboard in Obsidian: a Status board of four cards above a two-column Priority Stack.
Status board + priority stack — the whole week on one screen.

01 / the problem

You don't need another planner.

You need one page that shows you your whole life at a glance and then gets out of the way. Most systems fail the opposite way — they ask you to maintain them. Command Vault is built on one principle:

Your life is the front door.
Your work runs downstream of it.

Family, health, money, and focus sit up top. Ventures and tasks sit below. Open it and you know where you stand in about four seconds.

02 / 32 palettes

32 palettes. One edit each.

Six CSS variables sit at the top of the stylesheet. Change them and every card, header, pill and corner bracket follows. 32 palettes ship with it, every one contrast-checked so the HUD stays readable. Tap any swatch below to repaint this page with it, then paste the same block into your own vault.
