Mobile App

The Taskott mobile app is a companion to the desktop experience. It's designed for quick capture and review on the go, not as a replacement for the desktop app.

ⓘ

The mobile app requires a Taskott account for cloud sync. Sign up from the desktop app under Settings → Account, then sign in on mobile with the same credentials.

Getting the app

iOS

Available on the App Store. Search "Taskott" or use the link in Settings → Mobile App.

Android

Available on Google Play. Search "Taskott" or use the link in Settings → Mobile App.

Mobile features

The mobile app is intentionally lightweight. It focuses on four things:

Tasks

View and interact with your current sprint tasks:

View current sprint — See all committed tasks and their status
Complete tasks — Mark tasks as done from your phone
Browse backlog — Look through tasks scheduled for future weeks
Add new tasks — Quickly capture new tasks with goal, effort, and value

💡

New tasks added from mobile go to your backlog by default, not to the current sprint. This respects the sprint lock — you'll assign them to a week during your next planning session on desktop.

Quick Lists

Quick Lists are rapid-fire ephemeral lists for things that aren't tasks. Think of them as disposable checklists:

Grocery shopping lists
Packing lists for a trip
Brainstorm dumps
Meeting action items before they become real tasks

Quick Lists can optionally be linked to a task. When the linked task is completed, the quick list auto-archives. Each list item can be checked off independently.

Notes

The Notes screen is a plain text scratch pad that syncs to your desktop. Use it to capture:

Ideas that come to you away from your desk
Observations or reflections during the day
Quick reminders to process later

Notes show up during Dailies on the desktop app. The idea is: capture on mobile, process on desktop. This keeps your phone as a lightweight input device, not a productivity sink.

Trips

A read-only 12-month timeline of your upcoming trips. The mobile trips screen provides:

Timeline view of all trips, holidays, and travel events
Trip detail sheets with overview, checklist, bookings, and links
Real-time sync with Firestore — changes made on desktop appear instantly

ⓘ

Trip management (creating trips, adding bookings, parsing flight details) is done on the desktop app. The mobile view is read-only for quick reference while traveling.

Sync

The mobile app uses Firebase/Firestore for real-time cloud sync. Changes made on either platform appear on the other within seconds.

To enable sync:

Create a Taskott account on the desktop app
Sign in with the same account on mobile
Data syncs automatically — no manual action needed

Design philosophy

The mobile app is deliberately not a full-featured task manager. Deep work happens on desktop. The mobile app exists for three reasons:

Capture — Grab tasks and notes before you forget them
Reference — Check your sprint or trip details on the go
Quick completion — Mark a task done without opening your laptop

Execution mode, sprint planning, stats, and settings are desktop-only features.
