Mobile Workflow

Managing Tasks on Mobile

  1. View Tasks: All your boards and tasks are accessible on mobile devices
  2. Add Tasks: Use the simplified Add Task modal designed for touch input
  3. Edit Tasks: Full editing capabilities with mobile-optimized interface
  4. Search Tasks: Quick search functionality works smoothly on mobile
  5. Drag and Drop: Move tasks between columns using touch gestures

Best Practices for Mobile

  • Use the search feature to quickly find tasks instead of scrolling through long lists
  • Take advantage of auto-hiding elements to maximize screen space
  • Configure boards with fewer columns for easier mobile navigation
  • Use the board switcher in the header to quickly switch between different boards

Known Considerations

While Task Board works great on mobile, keep these points in mind:

  • Some advanced features may have slightly different interactions on mobile
  • Larger screens provide more comfortable editing experience for complex tasks
  • Sync your vault across devices to seamlessly transition between desktop and mobile

Mobile Tips

  • Landscape Mode: For complex boards, try rotating your device to landscape mode for more horizontal space
  • Column Width: Mobile view automatically adjusts column widths for optimal viewing
  • Task Cards: Tap on a task card to view details or edit
  • Gestures: Use standard touch gestures for scrolling and interacting with tasks

Mobile support continues to improve with each release. Check the changelog for the latest mobile-specific improvements.
