Lechem
Finding anything — search, the glance, and talking to it
Every screen Lechem has ever had is findable by search — including the older ones nothing points at any more, because in Lechem nothing is ever removed.
Lechem has well over a hundred screens. The front of the app deliberately shows a small number of them — the things you actually do most days — and everything else is one search away.
That is only honest if the search really does reach everything, so it does. Reference screens, setup screens, seasonal screens out of season, and the older screens from before the app was rearranged: all of them are still there and all of them are findable. Nothing in Lechem is ever deleted. A screen that stops being on the front has been moved, not removed, and the search will still take you to it.
The glance is the other half of the same idea. Every screen in Lechem is built the same way: the answer or the action first, with no reading required, and the explanation folded underneath for whoever wants it. A person who cannot read, or will not read, completes what they came to do without opening a single fold.
And you can speak to it. Say what you want and Lechem takes you there — useful when your hands are full, and useful for a person who finds a screen full of words harder than a sentence out loud.
What is not built yet
- Speaking to Lechem understands a short, printed list of phrases today — not open conversation. That is exactly what the store listing says, and it is the truth of the build.
