Currently the web app doesn't scale right on mobile. The design should be responsive for better usability on smartphones and other tiny screen size devices.

@tionis commented on GitHub (Aug 13, 2020):

I think it would also be a great idea to move the project title into the top "Planka" bar, as it really takes up much screen real estate on for example 13'' screens.
It tested this very primitively and also think that the board overview bar should then get hard edges on the top and rounded edges on the bottom, so that all navigation move up a bit optically. This could separate content and navigation a bit more.

This is also already on our list. We will improve the mobile views and you will have a much better usability when this is done.

1-3/4 years later, and.... Planka is still completely unresponsive. (as in not mobile-friendly).
Any plans for an android client? (would hope to support both small-screen phones and larger tablets).

It would be nice to have a roadmap that is in the "Client demo" for Planka.
In addition to the mocked data, also have the actual roadmap.

Cheers

Love Planka!

Mobile support would put it over the top! I'd love to be able to easily use this from my phone when I'm at the store or on the go. It's not bad as-is since Planka is very vertical, but a few UI tweaks (basically: don't make the whole page so big, or just copy trello) would go a long way.

The fastest, but not the best solution is just to add sub filter to your Nginx config

location / {
    sub_filter </head> '</head><style>#root{overflow-y:hidden}</style>';
    sub_filter_once on;
    ...
}

Hi. Is there any update on this? Planka as a PWA feels pretty nice on mobile, but on visiting a board's page, I do feel it is not the best mobile experience I have experienced.

Bumping as this would be insanely epic!

edit:
best way i found to modify CSS is doing a bind mount from a local css file to the css file inside the docker container.

it allows me to update it without restarting anything.

still i hope mobile support comes some day.

edit2:
To edit css live:

do docker cp planka:/app/public/static/css/main.710bf5a4.css ./custom.css
this copies the planka css file to outside the docker container.
add this to docker-compose:

volumes:
  - ./custom.css:/app/public/static/css/main.710bf5a4.css:ro

this overlays your custom css file over the place of the original

restart planka

after that you can modify the custom.css file live and it will be reflected in planka

IMHO the most comfortable way for Mobile Usage would be to make each list Stretch on the Screen Width and and use swipe gestures or small buttons to switch left and right.

It's barely useable right now... until you Open a Task and only have half of it displayed.

Overall, everything looks much better than before and is now usable. However, there are still many small unresolved issues. For example, popups should open in full-screen mode on mobile devices. The action buttons in the card modal should probably be moved above the comments section, otherwise they are difficult to reach: #981.

any plans for mobile apps for both community and pro version?

my team uses the trello mobile app often given how everyone is navigating on mobile these days and always on the go and no longer deskbound.

Hey! We kind of started with that, but in a simple Notes version, so you can add cards and do some basic things. It'll take some time to extend it into a fully working app.
