Mobile App

Windshift has a touch-first mobile site at /m. You can install it as an app on your phone. It uses the same account, workspaces, and work items as the desktop site. When you sign in on a phone, Windshift opens the mobile site unless you choose the desktop site.

The mobile site is a progressive web app (PWA). Install it from your browser. You do not need an app store.

Installing to your home screen

Add Windshift to your home screen to get a full-screen app icon and push notifications.

  • Android and desktop browsers: When the browser offers an install prompt, confirm it.
  • iPhone and iPad (Safari): Open the page in Safari. Tap Share, choose Add to Home Screen, then tap Add. Open Windshift from the new icon.

The icon opens Windshift directly in the mobile site.

Push notifications

When notifications are enabled, Windshift can push alerts to your device for activity on work you care about:

  • Comments on items you follow
  • Mentions of you
  • Items assigned to you

To enable notifications, open the Alerts tab and tap Enable notifications. Grant browser permission when prompted. Use the same tab to disable notifications.

Requirements:

  • Install Windshift to your home screen. Push notifications work only in the installed app, not in a regular browser tab.
  • Your administrator must enable notifications on the server. Otherwise, the option is unavailable.

What you can do on mobile

The bottom navigation has four tabs: My Work, Personal, Timer, and Alerts. The header opens search for work item titles, keys, or text. When AI is available, it also opens the assistant.

Use the floating + button on the main tabs to create a work item. Select a workspace and item type. Add a title and optional description. Windshift then opens the new item.

Opening a work item gives you a mobile view of it:

  • Change status and assignee with touch-friendly pickers. Status options come from the item workflow.
  • Open sub-items and use the parent breadcrumb to move up the hierarchy.
  • Watch the item or start a timer. The timer stays live and also appears on the desktop. See Logging Time.
  • Read and post comments.
  • Open Commits and pull requests and Coding agent when they apply. These panels are read-only on mobile.
  • Pull to refresh by dragging down from the top. The item also updates live when work changes elsewhere.

AI assistant on mobile

When your administrator has connected AI, the assistant opens as a full-height chat from the header. Ask it to search your items, summarize, and help you plan. It uses the same assistant as the desktop site. For what the assistant can do and how it is set up, see AI Features.
