Mobile status
Status: Planned
The native mobile app is in development. Target: 2026-Q3 for first public release.
PLANA Pulse is building a native iOS and Android companion app for BOS. This page tracks what is shipped, what's in progress, and what will be in the first release.
What works today
- Mobile-responsive web app — BOS itself works in your phone's browser. Sign in at
https://my.planapulse.ai/<workspace>and pin to your home screen for a near-native feel - TOTP / WebAuthn sign-in on mobile
- All BOS features work on mobile-responsive web; some are easier on a larger screen
See Mobile and tablet for details.
What's coming in the native app
| Feature | Planned for first release |
|---|---|
| Native iOS app via Capacitor 7 | ✓ |
| Native Android app via Capacitor 7 | ✓ |
| Sign in via biometrics (Face ID / Touch ID) | ✓ |
| Dashboard view (KPIs, cashflow, alerts) | ✓ |
| Chat with the four agents | ✓ |
| Alerts view with native push notifications | ✓ |
| Push notifications via APNs (iOS) / FCM (Android) | ✓ |
| Banking view | ✓ |
| Voice input for agent chat | Later release |
| Offline mode / local cache | Later release |
Stack
- Ionic Vue + Capacitor 7 — reuses the existing Vue 3 codebase from
pulse-portal(the BOS frontend). One codebase, two stores. - Capacitor plugins for native APIs (push, biometrics, secure storage)
- APNs for iOS push notifications
- FCM for Android push notifications
The choice to use Capacitor (rather than a fully separate native app) comes from the FOSS-first principle — the underlying frameworks are all open source. Apple's APNs and Google's FCM are the two unavoidable proprietary dependencies; both are documented as exceptions to the FOSS rule.
Timeline
| Milestone | Target |
|---|---|
| Internal alpha (PLANA staff only) | 2026-Q2 |
| Closed beta (5 friendly customers) | 2026-Q3 |
| Public release to App Store + Play Store | 2026-Q3 to early Q4 |
| Feature parity with mobile-responsive web | 2026-Q4 |
Push notifications
Once the app ships, you'll receive OS-level push notifications for:
- Critical alerts (cash below, system down, etc.)
- New message in your workspace's Matrix support room
- (Optional, per-user) chat responses when an agent finishes a long task you started before leaving the desk
You opt-in per-category in Settings → Notifications.
What customers can do now
For mobile use today:
- Open
https://my.planapulse.ai/<workspace>in your phone browser - Sign in
- Pin to home screen:
- iOS Safari → Share menu → Add to Home Screen
- Android Chrome → menu → Add to Home Screen
The result feels much like a native app, just without push notifications. We will migrate you to the native app at no extra cost when it ships — your sign-in and workspace context carry over.
Why we don't have a mobile app yet
Honestly: prioritisation. Hosting + multi-version Odoo + the AI runtime + the SaaS lifecycle took the first 12 months of platform work. Mobile is the next big push.
The current mobile-responsive experience is good enough for most users. The native app adds push notifications and OS-level polish, both of which are valuable but not on the critical path for "is PLANA useful".
