Focus Mode: Redesigned Sidebar with Icon Bar and Panel System

What Changed

BrainBox now features a completely redesigned sidebar navigation system that puts you in control of your workspace layout.

New Icon Bar Navigation

The new icon bar provides quick access to all your workspaces, channels, and direct messages through intuitive icons. This compact design maximizes your content area while keeping navigation just one click away.

Collapsible Panel System

Need more screen real estate? The new panel system lets you collapse the sidebar entirely or expand it when you need to navigate. The smooth animations make transitions feel natural and responsive.

Improved Accessibility

We've also improved focus styles and accessibility throughout the sidebar, ensuring keyboard navigation works flawlessly.

Why It Matters

Modern productivity tools need to balance powerful features with clean, distraction-free interfaces. This update gives you:

More focus: Collapse the sidebar when deep in work

Better organization: Icon-based navigation is faster and more intuitive

Improved aesthetics: A cleaner, more modern look that matches your workflow

How It Works

Simply click the collapse button at the bottom of the sidebar to switch between expanded and collapsed modes. Your preference is remembered across sessions.
