To stay updated on your projects, you can receive push notifications through the mobile app. When your iOS or Android device prompts you, you need to allow push notifications for awork.

To mark notifications as read, swipe the row left and tap the checkbox button. If you swipe far enough, the checkbox turns green, the entry is automatically marked as read, and disappears from the overview.
If you've enabled it in your account settings that notifications disappear when navigating, just tapping the notification will mark it as read.

FAQ
Where Can I Download the awork Mobile App?
You can download the app from the App Store or the Google Play Store.
Is There a Special awork iPad App?
No. You can install the iOS mobile version on iPads, but it has significantly fewer features than the browser version. Since the browser version works perfectly on iPad, we recommend using awork on iPad in the browser.
Tip: iPad OS allows you to create app icons from websites on the home screen. This way, you can open awork in the browser and place it directly as an icon.
What Areas Does the Mobile App Cover?
The app includes tasks, projects, time tracking, notifications, and search. It's designed as a supplement to the web app and focuses on your own tasks, time tracking, and receiving and viewing notifications.
Can I Change Notification Settings in the App?
No. Notification settings can only be edited in the web version.
Can I Edit Billed Time in the Mobile App?
The same restrictions apply as in the web version. For example, billed time can no longer be edited.
