Navigate DenLumen — sidebar, drawer, and the subject switcher

2 minute read · Updated June 2026 · Getting started

On wide screens DenLumen shows a sidebar; on phones it tucks into a hamburger drawer. The subject switcher in the top-left jumps between dogs, cats, and kids.

Steps

1. 1

   Find the sidebar (web/tablet)

   On screens wider than ~900px, the left sidebar shows Today, Care Plan, Growth, Gear, Documents, Library, Templates, Chat, Recommendations, Find a Toy, and Settings.

   

2. 2

   Open the drawer (phone)

   On phones, tap the hamburger icon in the top-left to open the same navigation as a slide-in drawer.

   

3. 3

   Use the subject switcher

   The avatar at the top-left shows the current subject. Tap it to switch — the entire app re-scopes to that subject (Today, Growth, Gear, everything).

   

4. 4

   Pin Today, Care Plan, and Growth in your mental model

   Those three are the daily-driver screens. Everything else (Templates, Library, Travel, Subscriptions) is supporting infrastructure.

   

5. 5

   Help is in the app bar

   Look for the ? icon in the top app bar — it links to this help center any time you're stuck.
