"The Lists tab: Playlist, Reading, and Saved"

What the Lists tab is

Every card in the Feed has a small side rail of icons: Save, and, depending on what the card is, Playlist or Read list. Click one and the item doesn't disappear, it moves into a personal queue you can come back to. The Lists tab is where those queues live: Playlist for video and podcast, Reading List for articles, and Saved for anything you bookmarked. Nothing here is generated or scored by Verinode. It's a plain, chronological list of what you chose to hold onto, with a simple read or unread flag so you can tell what you've already gotten to.

Where to find it

Open Vault from the sidebar, under My Data (iq.verinode.ai/data). Vault is a row of tiles: Uploads, Tracking, then three list tiles, Playlist, Reading, and Saved, then Notifications. Click any one of the three list tiles and it opens the Lists card already filtered to that list.

There's a faster path if you just want to check what's waiting: the small stacked-books icon in the top bar, next to the notification bell, is My Lists. Click it and a short menu drops down:

• Playlist, with a count of how many are unlistened, and a teal dot if anything's waiting.
• Reading List, with a count of how many are unread, and the same teal dot.
• Saved, with no count, just the item.

Clicking any of the three takes you straight to Vault with the Lists card open and pre-filtered. The icon itself carries a small badge, the combined number of unlistened playlist items and unread reading-list items (shown as "9+" once it passes nine). Saved items never contribute to that badge, bookmarks aren't tracked as an inbox the way Playlist and Reading List are.

How an item gets into a list

1. 1On any Feed card, look at the icon rail on the right. Every card gets a Save icon (a bookmark outline). Video and podcast cards additionally get a Playlist icon; article and vendor-news cards get a Read list icon instead.
2. 2Click the icon. A toast confirms it: "Saved," "Added to playlist," or "Added to reading list." The icon fills solid to show it's active.
3. 3Click the same icon again to take it back out. The toast flips to "Removed from saved," "Removed from playlist," or "Removed from reading list," and the item disappears from that list.

Internal Feed items, decisions, signals, and agent messages, only ever get the Save icon. Playlist and Read list are reserved for the video, podcast, and article content that flows into the Feed from outside sources.

Verinode snapshots the item's title, source link, image, and media type at the moment you save it. That's why a saved video or article still shows a working thumbnail and title weeks later even if the original Feed entry has expired or scrolled out of the Feed's own window, the list doesn't depend on the item still being live there.

The three list tiles on Vault

Each tile on the Vault home page shows a live count and a one-line status, so you can tell what's waiting without opening anything:

• Playlist. The number is your total playlist size. Underneath: "N Unlistened" if anything's unwatched, "Queued For Later" if everything's been watched but you haven't cleared them out, or "Save Audio From The Feed" if the list is empty. A row of dots represents each item, with the unlistened ones flagged.
• Reading. Same total-count pattern. Underneath: "N Unread," or "Queued To Read" once you're caught up, or "Save Articles From The Feed" if empty. Instead of dots, this tile shows a ring, the percentage of your reading list you've already marked read.
• Saved. A plain count with "Bookmarked Items" underneath, or "Bookmark From Any Card" if you haven't saved anything yet. No ring or dot grid, bookmarks don't track a read-through percentage the way the other two do.

Inside the Lists card

Filter bar

A search box (placeholder: "Search by title or source…") matches against the item's title and its source name as you type. Two dropdowns sit beside it:

• List filter: "All lists (N)," "Playlist (N)," "Reading (N)," "Saved (N)." Choosing one narrows the table to just that list.
• Read filter: "All," "Unread," "Read."

The table

Six columns, one row per saved item:

• Thumb. A small 56×40 image pulled from the source (a YouTube thumbnail for video, the publisher's image for articles), or, when there isn't one, a plain tile showing the first letter of the title.
• Title. The item's title. If it has a source link, the title is clickable and opens that link in a new tab. Underneath, in smaller muted text, the source name, the publisher or channel for Feed content, or the originating domain for a saved decision or signal.
• List. A small pill reading Playlist, Reading, or Saved, showing which of the three lists this row belongs to.
• Type. A rounded badge with the media type, Video, Podcast, Article, and so on, or "Saved" when no media type is recorded.
• Added. How long ago you saved it: "just now," then in minutes, hours, or days, and a plain date (e.g. "Jul 9") once it's more than a week old. Newest items sort to the top.
• Actions. Up to three icons, right-aligned:

- A checkmark, Mark as read, only shown while the item is still unread. Clicking it dims the row and removes the checkmark. - An arrow-out icon, Open, only shown when the item has a source link. Opens it in a new tab, same as clicking the title. - A trash icon, Remove from list, always present. Clicking it deletes the item from the list immediately, no confirmation prompt.

A row that's already marked read renders at reduced opacity, so a glance down the table tells you what's still outstanding versus what you've already gotten to.

Empty states

Nothing saved yet. If you haven't added anything to any of the three lists, the card reads:

Lists fill as you save items from the feed

with three lines under "When your data flows in, you'll see:"

• Watch a video → it lands in your Playlist
• Save an article → it lands in your Reading List
• Bookmark anything → it lands in Saved

Filters matched nothing. If your lists have items but the current search, list filter, or read filter combination matches none of them, the card instead reads:

No items match these filters

with one line underneath: "Try clearing the search or switching the list filter."

Best-practice example

Say you're catching up after a busy week. Open the My Lists dropdown in the top bar and see "Reading List, 6 unread." Click it, it drops you straight into the Lists card filtered to Reading with the read filter already showing everything. Sort mentally by the Added column (newest on top), open the two or three that are still relevant, mark them read as you go, and trash the rest. Anything genuinely worth a second look later, move to Saved instead of leaving it to pile up in Reading. The badge in the top bar clears as you go, so it's a reliable signal of what's actually still waiting on you.
