Phone, tablet and computer
ProPlans is the same app on every device, with the same account, projects and messages. What changes is how you reach things, and how much fits on the screen.
Touch and mouse
Section titled “Touch and mouse”| On a phone or tablet | On a Mac |
|---|---|
| Tap | Click |
| Press and hold a conversation, document or row | Right-click it, or click its ••• |
| Swipe a row for its buttons | Click its ••• |
| Pinch to zoom a sheet | Scroll wheel, or two fingers on a trackpad |
| Double-tap a blank part of a sheet to see all of it | Double-click |
| Pull the project list down to refresh | View → Refresh |
| Drag sheets into a new order | The arrow buttons on each sheet |
| The back button (Android) or a swipe from the left edge | Esc, or the back arrow |
A tablet shows the ••• too, on conversations, notifications, people in Contacts, documents and plan sheets, alongside the swipe and the hold. A phone shows them only while a screen reader is on.
Layouts follow the size of the window
Section titled “Layouts follow the size of the window”- A phone shows one screen at a time, and the menu slides over it.
- Turn the device and every screen turns with it, on a phone as well as a tablet.
- A wide screen, such as a tablet held wide or a large Mac window, keeps the menu open down the side, fits two or three projects to a row, and shows Messages, Documents and Task Lists with the open item beside the list.
- A narrow window, such as an iPad app in a third of the screen or a small Mac window, gets the phone’s layout. Widening it again brings the wide layout back, with nothing lost.

Things only some devices do
Section titled “Things only some devices do”- Scanning a project’s QR code to join it, and inviting people from your contacts: phones and tablets. On a Mac, join with the code or link instead.
- Keyboard shortcuts such as Esc and Command-F: an iPad with a keyboard, and a Mac. See Keyboard shortcuts.
- Updating: when ProPlans asks you to update, Update now updates it inside the app on an Android phone or tablet from Google Play, shows the App Store page over the app on an iPhone or iPad, and opens the App Store app on a Mac.
- Uploads with the screen locked: an upload of plans keeps going while the phone is locked. On an Android phone, a notice headed Uploading plans shows while it runs.
- Chromebooks, and PCs that run Android apps, can install ProPlans from Google Play.
