Help
Short answers for everything in BC10 Workspace. The same pages are in the app under Help, so they work offline too.
Signing in with BC10 ID
BC10 Workspace uses your BC10 ID: the same email and password you use for BC10 Notes, Budget and Focus on your phone and on the web.
When you sign in, Workspace connects to each app for you. Your password is only used to sign in. It is never saved on your PC.
If one app could not be reached, the others still work. That app shows Reconnect in Settings. Choose it and enter your password again.
Signing out removes your notes and budget from this PC. Everything stays safe in your account and comes back when you sign in again.
Working offline
Notes, tasks and budget changes are saved on your PC first, so you can keep working without a connection.
When you are back online, Workspace sends your changes and brings in changes from your other devices. This happens every minute, when you come back to the window, shortly after each change, and when you choose Sync now in Settings.
If the server refuses a change (for example a title that is too long), Settings shows it. Edit the item and it is sent again.
Notes
Choose New note, give it a title and write. Add a checklist for things to tick off. Changes save as you type.
Pin a note to keep it at the top. Archive a note to tidy up without deleting it. Pick a colour to group notes at a glance.
Notes shared with you appear here too. If a note was shared as read-only, you can read it but not change it. Sharing is managed in the BC10 Notes app.
Tasks
Make a list (for example Home or Work), then type a task and press Enter.
Tick the circle to complete a task. Click a task to add notes or a due date.
These are the same task lists you see in BC10 Notes on your phone and on the web.
Budget
Your folios are your accounts: cash, bank, cards. Their balances update as you add transactions.
Choose Add to record an expense, income or a transfer between folios.
Income can only go into a tracked folio, and transfers move money between two tracked folios. These are the same rules as BC10 Budget everywhere.
Receipt photos, reports and receipt scanning are in the BC10 Budget app.
Focus
A focus session blocks the websites in the lists you choose, in all your browsers, until the timer ends.
Strict mode means the session cannot be stopped early. Use it when you really mean it.
Schedules start focus sessions on their own, for example on weekdays from 9:00 to 17:00.
Blocking is done by BC10 Focus, which runs on your PC. Workspace shows and controls the same sessions, lists and schedules as the BC10 Focus app.
Turning on blocking
To block websites, install BC10 Focus from focus.brandcode10.com/download. Workspace finds it on its own.
Until then you can still edit your block lists and schedules here. They are saved to your account and are ready when BC10 Focus is installed.
If BC10 Focus on your PC is signed in to a different account, Workspace asks before it changes anything. Signing out of Workspace never signs BC10 Focus out, so blocking keeps working.
Updates
BC10 Workspace checks for updates when it starts and every few hours while it runs. New versions download quietly in the background and are checked before they are used.
When an update is ready, a small Restart to update prompt appears. Choose it when it suits you: the update installs silently and the app opens again.
Your notes, budget and sign-in are kept. After an update, What’s new shows what changed.
