Read full description

The same connected workspace your team built, now accessible when you're commuting, grabbing coffee, or "busy". Who this is for: If you're already using Fibery, this extends your workspace to everywhere. New to Fibery? Start on desktop where you can build without squinting — but once you've built your workspace, mobile gives you access everywhere. Because your work doesn't stop when you step away from your screen. A thought pops up, but your laptop's updating. Or it's in the other room. Or at the office — oops! For anyone who's ever had a useful thought at an inconvenient time, or had a free moment to get some work done if only... Yeah. This is for that. What Fibery mobile does: Makes your workspace accessible when and where you need it. The structure you already know, now in your pocket. The real value is execution: checking, updating, capturing. The architecture work still happens on desktop where you have proper hardware and time to think. Some honesty: You can work on databases and views in the mobile app if you really want to. Most people don't. Configuring complex stuff on a small screen is technically possible, but not exactly pleasant. This isn't the simplest mobile app in existence, but if you wanted simple, you'd be using a basic to-do app. Fibery mobile gives you access to the complexity and connections that make your workspace yours. Still powerful, but now slightly finicky. Trade-offs, amirite?
