# The frontline app, written down — worklists.app

- [An approval is a task](https://worklists.app/blog/an-approval-is-a-task/) — 2026-08-20
  A supervisor's sign-off on a short receipt is not a second system with a second inbox. It is a task, addressed to a role, pending in that role's worklist, and it closes with the same evidence shape as the count it approves.
- [No per-person surface](https://worklists.app/blog/no-per-person-surface/) — 2026-08-20
  There is no roster, no per-person report, no "online now," and no per-unit-time figure anywhere in this app — not to you, not to a customer, not in an export. What the operator does not get is what makes the record worth having.
- [The record of work is the evidence it happened](https://worklists.app/blog/the-record-of-work-is-the-evidence-it-happened/) — 2026-08-20
  One motion closes a task on this app — scan, attest, emit, complete — and the record it leaves is not a log entry about the evidence. It is the evidence. Who, where, when, inside the window, in one object.
- [The screen carries your name](https://worklists.app/blog/the-screen-carries-your-name/) — 2026-08-20
  The app a picker holds on Monday is published from your own developer account, under your brand, and nothing upstream is named on it — not in the footer, not in the chrome, not in the analytics tag. That is the product, not a feature of it.
- [The second operator](https://worklists.app/blog/the-second-operator/) — 2026-08-20
  A union, a trade school, an apprenticeship program or a trade association runs its own instance for its own members. That deployment's record belongs to the worker, counts toward no employer's metric, and is visible to no employer. Two regimes, non-fungible, and legible on the device.
- [Your floor records that a button was pressed](https://worklists.app/blog/your-floor-records-that-a-button-was-pressed/) — 2026-08-20
  Your WMS is honest about what it knows, and what it knows is that a session tapped Done. An auditor, a customer and a chargeback panel do not accept that, and the fix is not a better report over the same tap.
