An idea comes up after you have left your desk. A screenshot or document is already on your phone. A long task is still running on your computer. Cola is an AI with a soul, living on your Mac or Windows computer. You can chat with it, give it context and files, and let it move your tasks forward on the desktop. Cola Mobile is the phone connection to that workspace. It does not replace the desktop app. It helps you send instructions, add files, check progress, and get notified when your desktop Cola is done. Cola Mobile keeps you connected to Cola without making you go back to your Mac or PC. Open the app, choose your online Cola desktop, send a message, attach what you have, and follow the result from your phone. It is built for the everyday moments when work should keep moving: on the train, between meetings, on the couch, or right before you close your laptop for the night. KEY FEATURES SEND TASKS WHEN THEY COME TO MIND Turn quick thoughts into Cola tasks from your phone. Send a new request, add missing details, continue a conversation, or stop a task if it is going the wrong way. ADD THE FILE THAT IS ALREADY ON YOUR PHONE Attach a PDF, screenshot, photo, note, log, or camera capture. Cola Mobile passes it to Cola on your computer so the task has the context it needs. FOLLOW PROGRESS WITHOUT SITTING AT YOUR DESK See live replies, task status, errors, completion, and generated files from your selected Chat session. SPEAK INSTEAD OF TYPE Use system speech recognition to put your thought into the prompt box. Review or edit the transcript before sending. GET A TAP WHEN IT IS DONE When a task started from your phone finishes, receive a notification and jump back to the right device and session. KEEP RECENT WORK HANDY Recently synced messages and downloaded files are cached on this phone for quick review. Search the session history that has already been synced to this device. BUILT AROUND YOUR COMPUTER Cola continues to work on your online desktop. Your desktop app keeps the local session history, files, tools, and task results, while your phone gives you a fast way to hand off ideas and check back later. WHO IS COLA MOBILE FOR? Cola Mobile is for people who use Cola on macOS or Windows and want to: - Capture ideas before they disappear. - Send phone files, screenshots, or photos into a Cola task. - Check long-running work without staying at the desk. - Add one more instruction when something comes to mind. - Get notified when a task is finished. - Keep computer work moving while life moves around it. IMPORTANT Cola Mobile requires a Cola account and an online Cola desktop app on macOS or Windows. When no desktop device is online, the app may only show local content already cached on this phone. Cola Mobile does not run tasks independently on the phone and does not use cloud conversation history sync. Download Cola Mobile and let your computer keep working, even when you step away.

Consider it done. Cindy is your all-round AI assistant. She works on your computer — operating files, browsers, and apps to actually finish your work, not just answer questions. The Cindy mobile app is her remote command center: work keeps moving even when you're away from your desk. STAY ON TOP OF EVERYTHING Every task running on your computer, mirrored to your phone in real time. What she's doing, how far along she is, what it costs — all at a glance. DISPATCH TASKS FROM ANYWHERE That idea you had on the train? Type it or just hold to talk. The task starts running on your computer immediately, and results come back to your phone. YOU MAKE THE CALLS When something matters, Cindy stops and asks: deleting files, sending messages, executing a plan. Review the details on your phone and approve or reject with one tap. RESULTS IN YOUR POCKET Documents, spreadsheets, code, and images she produces — preview them right on your phone. Review every change; reject anything you don't like and she'll redo it. AUTOMATION THAT NEVER SLEEPS View and manage scheduled tasks from your phone: daily issue triage, weekly reports, competitor monitoring — she runs them on her own schedule and reports back. BUILT ON TRUST Your sessions and data live on your own computer — the phone keeps no copy. Every step is transparent, and critical actions always wait for your approval. The Cindy client is fully open source and auditable. — Questions or feedback? Visit cindy.app — we'd love to hear from you.
