# On your phone

> What the mobile app will do, what the web app already does on a phone, and how cleaners work today.

Hosting does not happen at a desk. It happens in a doorway with a guest waiting, between two
villas, in a room where the air-conditioner has just failed.

## The app is not released yet

It is in build for **iOS and Android together**. There is no date on this page, because shipping it
late is better than announcing it twice. You can ask to be told the day it launches from the
[mobile app page](https://www.santara.ai/mobile-app/) on the main site.

Two things worth knowing before it arrives:

- **It is part of your plan.** There is no mobile tier and no per-seat charge for cleaners or
  maintenance staff.
- **It will not replace the web app.** Anything you study rather than act on — pricing analysis,
  reports, settings, the booking site builder — stays on the web. The phone carries what needs
  doing now.

## Until then: the web app on a phone

The web app works in a phone browser, and the screens you actually need in a doorway are the ones
that hold up: **Today**, **Messages**, **Tasks** and the **Calendar**. Sign in as normal; it is the
same workspace and the same permissions.

What is genuinely uncomfortable on a small screen — and is worth doing on a laptop — is connecting
channels, mapping listings, and the pricing rule editor.

## How cleaners work today

Two ways, and you do not have to choose one for everybody:

- **Give them an account.** A cleaner signs in and sees the cleans assigned to them, marks work
  done, and attaches a photo. Nothing else. See [Team and roles](/setup/team/).
- **Send them the cluster message.** The [daily brief](/daily/) writes one WhatsApp message per
  [cleaning cluster](/daily/tasks/#cleaning-clusters), containing that cluster's jobs and nothing
  else about your estate. Nobody is forced onto an app.

When the cleaner app ships, jobs will still arrive on WhatsApp for anyone who prefers it.

## Notifications

Notifications follow the same rule everywhere — they are addressed by **who can act on them**, not
by name, so you get what your role is responsible for. See
[Workspace settings](/setup/workspace/#notifications).
