dotby on mobile
The mobile app is not a shrunken copy of the web app, and it is not trying to be. It is the half of dotby you need when you are not at a desk: what is assigned to me, what changed, and a way to reply.
Same workspace, same backend, same data. Sign in and it is all there.
Getting it
Section titled “Getting it”Search for dotby in the App Store or on Google Play, then sign in the same way you do on the web — Google, magic link, or passkey.
There is no separate mobile account and no separate password.
What is there
Section titled “What is there”| Tab | What it is for |
|---|---|
| My Work | Everything assigned to you, across every project |
| Inbox | What changed that involves you |
| Projects | Your projects, and each one’s board |
| Initiatives | Outcome rollups and progress |
| Pages | The doc tree, readable and searchable |
| Chat | Channels, DMs, and threads |
| Time | Start, stop, and log time; your recent days |
| You | Account, workspace switching, and settings |
Inside those you can open a task, change its properties, comment, mention people, attach files, and read the whole thread.
The things worth having on a phone
Section titled “The things worth having on a phone”Time tracking. Starting a timer is a phone-shaped action — you are usually walking away from a desk when you remember. Log an entry in one line, or start the timer and stop it later.
Comments and mentions. Push notifications arrive for the same events as email: assignments, mentions, replies. Tapping one opens the exact task or thread.
Board triage. Move a card to another column while you are on a call about it.
Still web-only
Section titled “Still web-only”The mobile app deliberately leaves out the surfaces that need a big screen and a pointer:
- The timeline and portfolio Gantt
- Whiteboards and the schema designer
- Workspace settings, modules, and billing
- Deep bulk editing and column configuration
- Building and reordering saved views
If a feature is not on your phone, it is on the web app at go.dotby.app — the same URL works in a mobile browser.
Links open in the app
Section titled “Links open in the app”A dotby link shared in Slack or email opens the app on the right screen if you have it installed, rather than dropping you at a login page.
Notifications
Section titled “Notifications”Push follows the same preferences as email — per-type switches, quiet hours, and the digest setting. Change them in one place and both channels follow. See Notifications and Inbox.
Offline
Section titled “Offline”The app needs a connection. Sign-in is restored when you come back to it, and work in progress is not lost when the app is backgrounded.
- Notifications and Inbox — what reaches your phone.
- Track time — the feature mobile does best.
