Mobile — iOS/Android apps & PWA

Install from the App Store on iPhone and iPad, or from Google Play on Android. If all you have is a browser, use 'Add to Home Screen' (PWA) for full screen, push, and an offline cache.

Install the native app (recommended)

1

NOTESupports home screen widgets, Face ID lock, and APNs push notifications.
2

Log in

Log in with the same account you use on the web and your projects, Wiki, and chat sync as-is. Edits you make offline are applied automatically when you reconnect.

TIPOn a company device where app store installs are blocked, use the PWA method below.

PWA — when you cannot install the app

1

iOS: open in Safari → Share → Add to Home Screen

Tap the 'Share' icon above the address bar → 'Add to Home Screen' → check the name and tap 'Add'. It opens full screen with no address bar.

CAUTIONOther browsers such as Chrome cannot add to the home screen on iOS — use Safari.
2

Android: 'Install' in the Chrome address bar, or ⋮ → Install app

An 'Install' button appears at the right of the address bar, or pick 'Install app' from the ⋮ menu. After installing, the icon is added to both the home screen and the app drawer.

TIPIf you do not see it, refresh once and try again. It appears as soon as the service worker registers.

Allow push notification permission

PWAs support push too. On iOS, web push only works on 16.4 and later. You request the permission from 'Allow OS push' in Settings → Notifications.

NOTEThe native apps (APNs/FCM) are more reliable for delivery rate and background behavior.

Mobile-only UX

Mobile is built around a bottom nav and bottom sheets. The main navigation paths sit inside one-handed reach.
  • Bottom navigation (native apps 1.3.5 and later) — Home, Tasks, Calendar, Chat, Memos, and a final Menu tab. Open anything that is not on the bar from Menu, choose the middle tabs with the edit button on the Menu sheet, and open Me from your avatar on Home. Inside a project, switch between sections like Work, Wiki, and Chat with the chips at the top, and jump to another project from the project name at the top left
  • Bottom navigation (web PWA) — Hub plus Dashboard, Calendar, Memos, and Notifications (inside a project, Hub plus Board, Wiki, Planning, Chat, and Goals). Tapping Hub opens search, the workspace list, and your project list
  • Bottom sheet — modals slide up from the bottom of the screen, friendly to one-handed use
  • Safe area — automatically avoids the notch and home indicator
  • Long-press selection — hold for 250ms in the calendar to start drag-to-create, with haptic feedback
  • Swipe sub-nav — swipe left and right between the notification tabs (history/mentions/threads/saved/…)
  • 44px tap targets — kanban cards, list rows, and buttons are all at least 44px (Apple HIG)

Using Tabple offline

  • Native apps — with a Lifetime license, a Storage subscription, or a team seat, “Use offline” downloads the projects and personal features you choose to your device. See “Apps — Use offline and Unsent changes” in the Recent features quick guide
  • Web PWA — the items below happen automatically in the browser
  • Edit a Wiki page → if the network drops, it is saved to IndexedDB (offlineStore) automatically → it syncs when the connection returns
  • Chat messages work the same way — offlineChatStore and chatSyncQueue detect the network coming back and send in order
  • Offline data is isolated per user ID — safe even when several accounts share one device
  • Web Locks prevent two syncs from running at once

Push notifications

1

Native app — logging in is all it takes

The App Store and Google Play apps register an APNs (iOS) or FCM (Android) token when you log in. Push arrives for mentions, DMs, and task changes.

NOTEAllow the permission prompt when it appears. If you declined it, turn it back on in your OS settings → Tabple → Notifications.
2

PWA — allow notification permission

Turn on 'Allow OS push' in Settings → Notifications and allow notifications in the browser. Once allowed, the browser's push subscription is registered with the server, so you get notifications even after you close the tab.

3

iOS limits on PWAs

iOS only supports web push in Safari 16.4 and later — check your device and iOS version.

CAUTIONPWAs below iOS 16 get no push (in-app toasts only). If you need push, install the App Store app.
