What are templates?

Kaleido models your life as a set of connected databases instead of scattered pages. This makes it possible to:

• See how actions, habits, and outcomes relate to each other
• Reuse the same structure across different life areas
• Power automation, metrics, and history without duplicating logic

The 13 Core databases each have a set of Core corresponding templates

These Core templates include:

• Categories – your life's pillars and areas
• Tasks – projects, events, purchases, and goals
• Recurrings – routines, habits, repeating events, payments, time blocks
• Preferences & Profiles – how different kinds of days behave
• Contacts – people, pets, and important relationships
• Places – locations, cities, and digital spaces
• Resources – notes, links, lists, and reference material
• Schedule – time-slot grid of your day (planned feature)
• Trackers – Today / This Week / This Month control panels
• Daily History – what actually happened each day
• Monthly History – summarized snapshots of each month
• Metrics – things you care about measuring (sleep, water, workouts, etc.)
• Measurements – individual data points tied to a metric + timestamp

How they connect

A few key relationships to keep in mind:

• Tasks and Recurrings both link to Categories.
• Recurrings and Metrics feed into Daily History and Measurements.
• Trackers act as the “control panel” for the current day/week/month.
• Preferences determine which tasks, habits, and metrics are active right now.

Viewing the live schema

In the full version of this guide, you'll see an embedded Notion table that lists each database with its properties, relations, and version history. Updating the underlying Notion spec automatically updates this documentation.
