Mobile Feature Matrix

On this page

This matrix compares the shared mobile feature set across Android and iOS. A checkmark means the feature is present in the mobile source for that platform. Platform notes call out behavior, presentation, or screenshot differences that a user may notice.

Verification scope: Android features were checked against android/app/src; iOS features were checked against ios/CodeOverlord. Screenshot coverage comes from the curated cross-platform captures in docs/user-guide/assets/mobile/cross-platform/.

Legend

Mark Meaning
Available in source for that platform
- Not found for that platform, or not part of the current shared surface
Build/config Present in source but may depend on build flavor, permissions, account state, relay state, or environment configuration

Setup And Account

Feature Android iOS Notes
First-run welcome Both start by explaining that the desktop Sync screen provides the QR code.
QR pairing scanner Both use a framed camera scanner for the desktop pairing code.
Camera permission recovery Permission denial is handled with platform-native prompts or recovery states.
Login fallback Users can choose account login instead of QR pairing.
Google login Account availability depends on the configured auth provider.
Apple login Available in source on both platforms; platform presentation differs.
Email sign in Both support email/password sign in.
Email sign up Both include account creation and confirmation flow support.
Session restore Both rehydrate the signed-in Cognito session, paired-device tokens, and relay configuration when available.
Onboarding quick tour - - A quick-tour screen exists in the iOS codebase and this screenshot set, but it is not wired into the shipping onboarding on either platform — the live route goes welcome → pairing or login. Android has no quick-tour screen at all. Treat the capture below as a design artifact.
Sign out Labeled "Retreat! (sign out)" in Armoury on both platforms.
Realm/environment switch Build/config Build/config Only the bridge/staging build flavor exposes realm selection (Android BuildConfig.BRIDGE; iOS STAGING build). Standard release builds hide it.

The "Bind your stronghold" pairing screen. When the camera is blocked, both platforms show a recovery card with a direct "Open settings" button. iOS uses the same "Bind your stronghold" screen and camera-permission recovery.
iOS-only screenshot
iOS onboarding quick tour page titled Command Your Minions
The quick-tour capture exists only for iOS, and even there it is not part of the live onboarding route (welcome → pairing/login). Android has no equivalent screen.
Feature Android iOS Notes
Five main mobile areas The five bottom tabs — Thy Quill, Minions, Scrolls, Rituals, Omens — are shared and use the same labels on both platforms.
Armoury settings Not a bottom tab on either platform. Android opens Armoury from the Thy Quill top-bar gear (a full screen); iOS presents it as a slide-up sheet.
Workspace selector Both show the current workspace and let users switch active workspace.
Hide and restore workspaces Both include workspace visibility management.
Workspace identity colors Workspace colors are deterministic so the same workspace remains recognizable.
Desktop online/offline state Relay-backed screens show connected, disconnected, or cached states.
Refresh/polling states Both show loading and retry behavior for relay-backed views.
Notification badges Omens can badge mobile navigation when unread activity exists.
Feedback launcher Both expose a lightweight way to send feedback, optionally with a screenshot.

A parent note with an indented child; the child carries an image-attachment count chip and a per-row overflow menu. iOS renders the same nesting, attachment chip, and overflow menu with native controls.

Minions: Agent Sessions

Minions are desktop agent sessions shown and steered from mobile.

Feature Android iOS Notes
Agent session list/pager Both let users move between active agent sessions.

Dictated prompt input The microphone flow can insert spoken text into the prompt box.
Image attachments Both offer three sources — photo gallery, live camera capture, and clipboard paste. Android uses the system photo picker and Android clipboard; iOS uses PhotosPicker, camera capture, and the pasteboard ("Paste from the scroll").
Summon new session The add/summon action starts or requests a new agent session.
Local/cloud execution target Available targets depend on the relay and account configuration.
Voice Mode Both platforms implement voice-mode controls; the standalone screenshot set currently includes only iOS.
Scheduled-agent handoff Scheduled runs can be opened as related agent sessions.

Scrolls: Open Desktop Files

Scrolls are files currently open on desktop.

Feature Android iOS Notes
Open-file list Both list desktop files exposed by the relay.
Search/filter Users can filter the open-file list.
Manual refresh Both can request updated desktop file state.
Automatic polling Relay-backed state refreshes about every five seconds while the screen is open, on both platforms.
Desktop-unreachable banner Both make stale or cached state explicit when desktop is offline.
File preview/status badges Both show a "Preview" badge on preview-only files and a red offline/missing state (for example "File no longer exists on disk").
Close open file Android exposes only per-row close controls; iOS adds a long-press multi-select mode for batch close, so iOS is a superset here.
File viewer Both open a read-only mobile viewer for supported content.
Markdown rendering Rendered as formatted content — Android uses a native Markdown renderer, iOS renders through an in-app web view.
HTML/plain text handling Non-Markdown content falls back to readable text handling.
Truncation and error states Large files are truncated and fetch failures show explicit error states.
PDF export Both export Markdown-style content to PDF.
PDF theme picker Three document themes — Dark, Warm, Light — on both. Android shows an in-app dialog then a post-export "View PDF / Share PDF" choice; iOS shows a native confirmation dialog and goes straight to the iOS share sheet.
Audio Review Both can start a spoken review/summarization flow for a file.
Review summary Both show generated review output with status and retry behavior.
Review feedback Users can send review feedback from the mobile review surface.

Shared Design And Atmosphere

Feature Android iOS Notes
Shared dark visual language Both use the same product palette and high-contrast dark surfaces.

Identity rows Account, workspace, and entity rows share icon/text/status structure.
Dictation button Microphone controls use the same listening/processing/error model.
Review summary pattern AI review results use the same structured summary surface.
FireText The wordmark's letters cycle through fire colors (ember → orange → bright) in a slow loop. Reserved for brand moments; never a status signal.
Screen-crack overlay A theatrical Easter egg with fake "SYSTEM BREACH" crash taunts — not a real error or security state. Unlocked by tapping the Omens tab repeatedly.
Dragon's Gauntlet A hidden Flappy-Bird-style mini-game, unlocked by tapping the Omens tab about eight times (the screen "cracks" from ~4 taps, shatters at 8, then the game opens).

Screenshot Coverage Notes

  • Standalone Voice Mode capture: iOS only. Android Voice Mode is present in source and visible through Minions controls, but no dedicated Android Voice Mode screenshot was present in the provided pair set.
  • Standalone export-PDF theme picker capture: iOS only. Android PDF theme selection is present in source, but no dedicated Android export-picker screenshot was present in the provided pair set.
  • Onboarding quick tour: the quick-tour screen and its screenshot exist only for iOS, and even there it is not part of the shipping onboarding route (welcome → pairing/login). Treat the capture as a design artifact, not a screen most users will reach. Android has no quick-tour screen.
  • Newly added paired captures in this section: the "Bind your stronghold" pairing/permission screen (desktop-pairing-*), the nested note row with attachment chip (note-item-row-*), and the Scrolls open-file rows with Preview and missing-file states (open-file-row-*).
  • Aside from the three iOS-only captures noted above, all paired overview/design screenshots used here have both Android and iOS captures in the curated asset folder.
