Phone vs. tablet layouts

How the mobile app adapts to different screen sizes.

The mobile app runs on phones and tablets. It uses two different layouts depending on the screen size.

Phone layout

The full Glueprint navigation rail collapses into a slide-out menu. Pull from the left edge (or tap the menu button) to open it. The rail covers Dashboard, Sessions, Terminals, Assistants, IDE (Files), Git, Tasks, Routines, Analytics, and Settings.

Inside each section, navigation is back-stack style: tap a row to go deeper, tap the back arrow to return.

A session detail on phone shows the chat by default. Tabs at the top let you switch to git, files, or terminal panels for the same session.

Tablet layout

On iPad and Android tablets in landscape, the navigation rail stays docked on the left side (icons only), and the main view expands to a list pane plus a detail pane side by side.

A typical view:

  • Left rail: nav icons.
  • Middle: a list (sessions on this host, assistants, and so on).
  • Right: the detail of whatever you tapped (transcript, chat, settings page).

In portrait orientation, the tablet falls back to the phone layout.

Per-orientation behavior

Most controls behave the same in both layouts, with two exceptions:

  • The session transcript has more visible context in tablet landscape. You can keep a side panel (git, files, terminal) open at the same time.
  • Chat panels in tablet landscape can stay open while you look at another session.

Split-screen and multi-tasking

On iPad, Glueprint works in Split View alongside other apps. The layout chooses phone or tablet based on the assigned width, not the device’s full width. On Android, the same applies in multi-window mode.

Appearance

Both layouts use Dark on a fresh install. During an upgrade, Glueprint preserves the selected palette while migrating retired theme names to the current six-theme list. The old System setting is resolved once to Light or Slate based on the device appearance; later system-theme changes do not switch Glueprint. Choose a theme under Settings > Appearance.

What’s missing on mobile

Some heavier surfaces aren’t available on mobile in the current release:

  • The built-in code editor for authoring.
  • The assistant workbench.

For those, use desktop or portal. See What works on mobile, what’s coming.
