Nydli on a phone

There's no separate phone app to install, and nothing extra to sign into. Open Nydli on your phone and your categories, tasks and hours are all there, exactly as you left them.

A phone screen holds less, so Nydli keeps the things you reach for most within reach and folds the rest away.

The List on a phone: the category tree behind a menu button, the search as an icon, and the rows down to task name and due date.

The header​

The top of the screen keeps the five things you reach for most. Search, the timer, a + for a new task, notifications and your account.

  • The menu button at the left opens the category tree, which lives down the side on a big screen.
  • Search opens as an icon. Tap it and the field takes the width of the screen. It works exactly as it does anywhere else, names first and descriptions on request. See Searching.
  • The view switcher under it scrolls sideways when Dashboard, List, Calendar, Labels and Timesheet stop fitting at once.

List on a small screen​

A row keeps the task name and the due date and drops the rest, so the title has room to be read. The timer and time-tracked columns come back as soon as there's width for them, and dates shorten too, so 23 September reads as 23.9 in whichever format you've chosen.

The Add task row at the foot of each section says so in words here, because there's no pointer to hover with.

Everything else is still there. Select turns on the checkboxes and the bulk bar, and Filter, Sort and the + in a section header work the way they do on a laptop.

Settings​

Settings on a phone: the sections as a list of their own, grouped under Account, This workspace and App.

On a wide screen the settings sections run down a rail beside the page you're reading. On a phone they get a screen of their own, and opening one takes you to it, with a way back at the top.

What a phone is less good at​

Dragging, mostly. You reorder your categories, your dashboard sections and your favourites by dragging them about, and that wants a pointer and a bit of room. The arrow keys do the same job, but a laptop is the easier place for a tidy-up.
