    Studio

    Open Nock's built-in tools, saved previews, widgets, and active builds.

    Studio is a surface in the notch for opening small tools and things made for you. It includes built-in apps, widgets, previews created by Nock, and builds still in progress. It is not the same as Tasks, which tracks background work and its results, or Glass Canvas, which is a spatial board.

    Open Studio in the notch. Its gallery places built-in apps and items under Made by you. Select a tile to open it. A tile marked Building returns you to that widget or preview build.

    Built-in apps include tools such as a clock, calculator, weather, and computer information. Some use a connected app; others work locally. Open the item and check What it can do, Checks, and any setup message to see whether it uses sample data, live data, or an account connection.

    Choose Tell Nock what to build to start a widget build. For a small card or tool, use Widget builder. You can also ask Nock to build a preview in chat; it may use built-in blocks or an interactive preview. Open that result to try its actions, review checks, and choose Ask for changes or Save where available.

    A live action can read from or change a connected service under Nock’s access rules. A visually complete card does not prove its integration works. Try a read-only action and compare the result with the original service before relying on it.

    Studio may show an active build tile, but use Tasks for the task’s status, questions, and complete result. A preview or widget is the result surface; Tasks is the work record. If a build is still running, wait for its status or open the corresponding task before retrying.

    You can manage saved items through Settings → Apps → My Apps. Removing an item is separate from stopping a build. See Background tasks, Widget builder, and App connections.
