> **Summary:** Use Tabflows from your phone for Sidekick, Team Chat, and direct Task management while you are away from desktop Chrome.

> **A note for non-human readers:**
>
> *Humans carry small computers called phones, so Tabflows lets them use the same account for Sidekick, Team Chat, and Tasks away from a desk. The phone can answer questions, prepare work, share files, and manage follow-up. Work that must read or change a healthcare system already open in desktop Chrome still needs that computer; humans have not made pocket size equal desktop power.*

## What is Tabflows Mobile?

Tabflows Mobile is the mobile-web version of Tabflows. Open Tabflows in your phone's browser and Sidekick becomes the main workspace when Sidekick is enabled for your account.

There is no App Store or Play Store download. Open Tabflows in your phone’s browser and use the same account and clinic access you already use on desktop. On supported devices, you can install the Tasks workspace from the browser for quicker access.

## What you can do on your phone

Use Sidekick on mobile to:

- Ask questions about clinic policies, pricing, workflows, and Tasks.
- Select a patient and ask patient-specific questions.
- Review available patient information and files.
- Attach a photo, PDF, spreadsheet, document, or text file to a conversation.
- Dictate a prompt with voice input.
- Return to recent conversations or open chat history.
- Use saved prompts, Workflows or Missions, and suggested follow-up questions.
- Draft messages, summaries, handoffs, and next steps for review.
- Open Tasks to create, edit, assign, comment on, search, filter, complete, reopen, delete, restore, or create work from a template.
- **Team Chat** — read and send clinic messages, reply in threads, and coordinate shared work from your phone.

## What still needs desktop Chrome

Mobile does not replace the Tabflows Chrome extension.

Work that depends on the active browser tab or a live EHR page still needs desktop Chrome. This includes:

- Reading the page currently open in your EHR.
- Capturing the active browser page automatically.
- Clicking, typing, pasting, or navigating inside a connected system.
- Using Magic Buttons beside fields or patient names.
- Filing information or completing other extension-driven actions in the EHR.

> **Good to know:** You can ask Sidekick to research, summarize, draft, or plan from mobile, then return to desktop for steps that require the Chrome extension.

## A useful way to think about it

Tabflows Mobile is your mobile command center. Use it to understand the situation, prepare the work, and decide the next step. Use desktop Tabflows when the next step requires direct control of an EHR or connected browser tab.

> **Important:** Review the patient, source, dates, and clinical details before using any Sidekick answer.
