Is there an awork iPad app?
There isn't a dedicated iPad app from awork.
In principle, you can install the mobile iOS version on iPads, but it has far fewer features than the browser version of awork. Since the awork browser version runs perfectly on iPad, we recommend skipping the mobile app for iPads and using awork in your iPad's browser instead.
☝️ Tip: iPad OS, just like apps from the App Store, allows you to create app icons from websites on your home screen. So you can open awork in your browser and simply add it to your home screen.
The awork mobile app includes the following features:
- Tasks
- Projects
- Notifications
- Search
Primarily, the awork app on iOS or Android serves as a supplement to the web app. This means not all features from the web version are available on mobile. The mobile version focuses more on your own tasks, time tracking, and receiving and viewing notifications.
Tasks
The awork app lets you view tasks in list format, edit them, and quickly and easily create new tasks. You can view, create, or edit tasks in the first tab of the bottom navigation bar (My Tasks) or directly within a project.
- Task overview
- Create a new task
- View and edit task details
- Adjust task status
- Tag users in tasks/projects
Task Overview
The My Tasks section, the first tab in the bottom navigation bar, shows all tasks assigned to you in awork. Tasks are displayed here in list format.
By default, tasks are separated into private and project tasks and grouped by project. You can customize this view.
Group and sort your task list
You can freely group and sort your tasks. To do this, pull the task list down slightly. The corresponding icon buttons will appear at the top. Click on them to change the grouping and sorting.
Create a new task
In the My Tasks view, you can click the add button in the bottom right to create new tasks.
The fields are largely the same as you'll find in the web app.
Tasks created without a project are created as private tasks.
View and Edit Task Details
Tapping on a task opens a window with task details. Here you can view and edit all the task's details.
Adjust Task Status
You can view and adjust a task's status in the task overview. Simply tap the status or the checkbox circle of the task. A selection of all available task statuses will appear. Choose the status you want.
In a task's details, you'll find the status in the bottom right.
Add Comments
In the project or task details, you can add comments. To do this, tap the chat icon in the bottom left of the detail window.
To tag users in tasks or projects, simply tap the @ symbol or type an @.
To react to a displayed comment, swipe right over the comment to bring up the emoji selection button. To see who has already reacted to a comment, tap and hold the emoji displayed below the comment. A popup will show the users who reacted with the selected emoji.
Delete Tasks
When you open a task's details, you can delete it using the trash icon in the bottom left.
Projects
In the mobile app, you can view projects and create new ones or edit existing ones. You'll find projects in the second tab of the bottom navigation bar.
Project Overview
The project overview shows all your projects. Here, similar to the web version, you can switch between three quick views.
- Active: All projects currently in progress (yellow status)
- My Active: Active projects where you're a member
- All: All projects (regardless of their status)
Tapping on a project in the list opens its details or its tasks.
Create a New Project
You can create new projects using the add button in the bottom right.
During project creation, you can fill in the fields you know from the web version, such as:
- Project name
- Project members
- Clients
- Project type
- End date
You can edit these entries later in the project details.
View Project Details
Tapping on a project in the project overview opens its details. In this view, you'll see the selected project at the top and all its tasks and task lists directly below.
Tapping the project again at the top opens a window with the actual project details. Here you can view and edit values for name, description, end date, and more.
Time Tracking
With the awork app, you can quickly and easily track your time and get an overview of the hours you've logged.
Overview of Your Tracked Time
In the third tab of the bottom navigation bar, you'll find an overview of your tracked hours.
You can see your logged time in a weekly overview and switch between days by tapping on them. Swipe left or right to navigate to the next or previous week.
Track Time with the Start-Stop Timer
You can start the time tracking timer using the add button in the bottom right.
The timer starts and a window opens where you can select additional information like the project, a task, and so on, to which the time should be tracked. You can close the window with or without entering information using the save button, and the timer will continue running until you stop it by tapping the stop icon.
You can reopen the running entry at any time by tapping the counting time and, for example, add a note.
Start the Start-Stop Timer Directly on Tasks
In the task overview, either in a project or under My Tasks, you can swipe left on a task row to reveal a few action buttons. Here you'll find a play button to start time tracking directly on that task.
Add Time Retroactively
If you don't want to use the start-stop timer for time tracking, you can of course simply add time retroactively. The process is the same as when starting the timer in the Time tab.
Tap the add button in the bottom right. A timer will start, but as soon as you select a duration or end time in the window that opens, the timer is ignored and you create a regular time entry.
Edit and Delete Time Entries
In your tracked time overview, you can edit them afterwards. Simply tap on a time entry and a window opens to edit its details.
Here you can also delete the entry using the trash icon in the bottom left.
☝️ Note: Keep in mind that the same restrictions apply here as in the web version, and billed time, for example, can no longer be edited.
Notifications
To stay updated with your projects, you can receive push notifications through the mobile app. When your iOS or Android device asks you to, you'll need to allow push notifications for awork.
☝️ Note: Notification settings can only be edited in the web version. There you can set which notifications you want to receive on your smartphone.
Notifications Overview
In the fourth tab of the bottom navigation bar, you'll find the notifications overview. All notifications are displayed here in chronological order. Similar messages, like being assigned to a task by someone, are grouped together.
To mark notifications as read, swipe the row left in the notifications overview and tap the checkbox button. If you swipe far enough, the checkbox turns green and you don't need to tap it. The entry is automatically marked as read and disappears from the overview.
If you've enabled in your profile settings that notifications disappear when navigating, simply tapping the notification is enough to mark it as read.
In-App Notifications
When a notification appears while you have the app open, a banner with the message will appear at the top.
You can tap directly on this popup to be taken to the relevant section, or ignore it and view the message later in the notifications overview.
Search
You'll find the search in the bottom navigation bar on the far right. Here you can search for tasks and projects.
awork also suggests relevant results for you even without a search term.
Tapping on search results opens the respective project or task.
