Mobile & PWA
Projectyl is available as a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you can install it on your phone or desktop for a native-like experience — no app store required. The mobile experience is designed to provide nearly the same functionality as the desktop version.
1 Install the app
1.1 iOS (Safari)
- Open Projectyl in Safari.
- Tap the Share button (square with arrow).
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Tap Add to confirm.
1.2 Android (Chrome)
- Open Projectyl in Chrome.
- Tap the three-dot menu (⋮).
- Tap Install app or Add to Home Screen.
- Confirm the installation.
1.3 Desktop
On supported browsers (Chrome, Edge), an Install prompt may appear in the address bar. Click it to install Projectyl as a desktop app.
2 Mobile navigation
On mobile, the sidebar is replaced by a bottom navigation bar with four tabs:
- Inbox — Your notification hub.
- Tasks — Current project's task list.
- Chat — Current project's chat channels.
- Docs — Current project's documents.
Tap a tab to switch sections. Use the project selector to switch between projects.
3 Mobile view adaptations
- Kanban, Table, and Gantt views automatically redirect to the List view on mobile, which is optimised for smaller screens.
- Chat shows the channel list first; tap a channel to enter, and use the back button to return to the channel list.
- Pagination uses a floating pill indicator instead of inline controls.
4 Push notifications
Enable push notifications so you don't miss anything when you're not actively in the app:
- Go to Settings → Notifications (accessible from the user menu).
- Click Enable on this device for your current browser/device.
- Configure which events trigger notifications — Mentions, Task Assignments, and Direct Messages can each be toggled independently.
See Settings — Notifications for full details.
Brave browser users: Brave blocks push notifications by default. You'll need to go to Brave's site settings and explicitly allow notifications for Projectyl.
