The home screen
After logging in, you land on the home screen with your vehicles. Each vehicle card shows you at a glance the current odometer reading, the latest activity, and the status of your service plans. Tap a card to go to the vehicle's detail view.
| Element | Function |

| Bell icon (top left) | Opens your Notifications — a red dot indicates unread ones |
| Profile icon (top right) | Opens your Profile with all settings |
| Filter button (bottom left) | Sort & Filter the vehicle list |

Unassigned Activities
If RideDetect has detected trips that aren't assigned to a vehicle yet, the Unassigned Activities card appears at the very top. That's where you assign detected trips to a vehicle — learn more under Reviewing detected trips.
:::info Bell vs. Unassigned Activities The bell shows notifications (e.g. service reminders), while the Unassigned Activities card shows detected trips waiting to be assigned — those are two different things. :::
Adding entries
In a vehicle's detail view you'll find the Add Entry button. Use it to record everything that belongs to your vehicle:
| Entry | Description |
|---|---|
| Trip | Record a new trip — see Creating trips manually |
| Odometer | Record the current odometer reading (for vehicles with an operating hours counter: Operating Hours) |
| Refuel | Record a refueling — see Refueling |
| Service/Maintenance | Record maintenance or a repair — see Service entries |
| Document / Photo | Add a document or photo — see Documents |
All entries appear chronologically in the vehicle's timeline.

App tour on first launch
On your first login, RideBase shows you a short introductory tour of the most important features: timeline, service plans, components, data sources, RideDetect, and automations & rules. You'll also learn there that a demo vehicle has been created for you, so you can safely try everything out.
:::tip Repeat the tour You can restart the tour at any time: Profile → Help & Support → Show App Tour. :::
Ridey — the mascot
Ridey is RideBase's raccoon. He introduces himself on first launch and pops up in the app every now and then afterwards. On the introduction screen you decide with Keep Ridey 🐾 or No Ridey for me whether you want to see him.
You can change this at any time later under Profile → Appearance with the Ridey enabled toggle — there you can also have Ridey introduce himself again via Introduce Ridey again.
