Mobile app
The OrientME mobile app puts your day in your pocket. Daily habits form on the phone, so the app focuses on the high-frequency surfaces — capturing, checking off, and planning — while the web app remains the best place for heavy editing.
The six tabs
| Tab | What’s there |
|---|---|
| Today | Your daily hub — today’s tasks, routines, plan items, overdue, trip, and journal — plus Quick capture. The Morning Kickoff and Evening Shutdown open here as full-screen pages — at the right time of day, the right one can open by itself, once a day (going back skips it; Don’t open this automatically turns it off) |
| Tasks | The board and your cycles |
| Plan | Routines, Plans, and Lists — switch between them with the control at the top of the screen |
| Calendar | Your unified calendar, including Events |
| Travel | Trips with Plan with AI, the Flight tracker, and Award Points |
| Personal | Notes, Journal, Finance, Vision, Travel preferences, appearance, and account |
On the Tasks board, tap a card’s status circle to mark the task finished (tap again to put it back), and long-press the circle to mark it in progress — each with a little haptic confirmation.
Tap a card to open Task Detail, which carries the same fields as the web task view: status, project, cycle, Planned from / Planned until, a Time, notes, a comment, subtasks, Photos, files & memos, and Related items. Setting a date for the first time defaults the time to 9:00 AM, which is what puts the task in Now / Next on Today.
To reorder tasks, press and hold the grip on the right edge of a card for a moment, then drag up or down — the card lifts with a small haptic tap and the others make room as you move. Let go to drop it in place. This works within a board column and within a queue project group.
On the Queue view, long-press a task card to start selecting, then tap other cards to add them. A bar appears at the bottom to move the whole selection into a cycle, set its project, or delete it (after a confirmation) — tap the × to stop selecting. While you're selecting, the drag grips are hidden.
On the Calendar, tap a day to open a traditional day view: all-day items at the top, then an hour-by-hour grid with each item placed at its time and a line marking now — swipe left or right to move between days. See Calendar for the full picture.
On the Plan tab's Lists segment, tap the ⋯ menu on a list card and choose Move up or Move down to arrange your lists. The order is saved to your account and shared with the web app, so a list you drag to the top on your computer is at the top here too. See Lists.
Today and quick capture
The Today tab mirrors Orient on the web: it greets you by name and gathers everything due today across sources, each tagged with a source pill. Tap a routine to complete it (with a little haptic feedback), reschedule overdue items, and use Quick capture to add anything fast.
You don’t have to be on Today to capture, either: the round amber Capture button in the middle
of the tab bar (it’s labeled, like every other tab) opens
Quick capture as a sheet over whatever tab you’re on — type one
line and it files the task, note, sticky, journal entry, routine, plan or list item, event, or
trip idea for you. Capture is for firing off a one-liner from anywhere; when you want to sit down
and write, each screen has its own create button — on Notes that’s the New note pill. The health prefixes work here too: weight: and water: read the number in your units
(US or metric, from the Account toggle) and meal: files a quick nutrition entry — after
saving, tap Open Health to jump straight to the Health home or the nutrition log.
There’s an evening reflection that saves to your journal, too. Once you start logging Health, a Wellness tile joins the at-a-glance strip — your score for the day and anything still due; tap it to open Health, or to go straight into the daily check-in when you haven’t logged yet.
The magnifying glass in the Today header searches everything — tasks, notes, journal, routines, plans, trips, events, finance, and health. Before you type, it lists the items you opened most recently (kept on this device), so jumping back to something is one tap.
The tab opens with Your week — the same seven-day summary as the web app: money in and out, tasks closed, journal entries, training sessions and more, each against the week before. Tap any figure to open the section behind it.
The sliders icon in the header opens Customize Today. Use the up and down arrows to move a section — put your flights or your overdue list first if that's what your morning needs — and the eye button to switch one off; hidden sections stop loading, so the tab opens faster. Reset restores the original arrangement. Your order is saved to your account and shared with the web app, so you only have to arrange it once.
Travel on mobile
The Travel tab is a full native trip planner, not a read-only view. Open a trip to build and edit its days (tap Add day on the Days tab to add one by date), logistics (flights, stays, transport), ideas, and expenses — and tap the ✨ sparkle in the trip header to Plan with AI: pick your preferences and it fills in a day-by-day plan, right on the phone — it keeps planning in the background while you use the rest of the app and sends a notification when it's done. Days and ideas are grouped and color-coded by city so a multi-city trip stays easy to read. A Trip spending panel sits inside the trip too: once you've connected a bank in Finance on the web, the transactions that fall within the trip's dates are matched to it automatically, so you can see what a trip actually cost — uncheck anything that doesn't belong. The Flights screen gives you the full fare-watch toolkit from your phone: add a route, edit it, pause or resume it, refresh its prices, duplicate or delete it, set a price-drop alert from the bell, and manage your saved airline filters — then expand a watch to the cheapest dates and tap straight through to book. Flip the Cash / Award control to Award (miles) for award flights: create and refresh availability watches, expand a watch to the ranked trips, open one for its segments and book with your points links, and set a miles-drop alert — connect your own award-search account to pull live results (sample trips show until you do). The Travel tab also carries an Award Points card — the same balance wallet, live transfer bonuses, transfer reach map, and plain-English award guide as the web page, in the same order and with the same held-currency-first ranking — so you can update a balance or check a transfer path from your phone. A bonus running on a currency you hold also appears in Worth knowing on the Today tab.
The Personal hub
The Personal tab is the home for the rest of your features — Journal, Notes, Finance, Health, and Vision Board — plus Travel preferences (the defaults that pre-fill Plan with AI on every trip), an Appearance toggle for light/dark (dark is the default), and your Account screen, where you sign out or delete your account.
Notes and Journal open for reading first. On the Notes screen, the amber pill at the bottom right creates things: it reads New note in the Notes view and New sticky on the Stickies view, so it always says what it makes. An existing note or entry opens clean — no keyboard — so you can scroll, long-press to select and copy text, and tap links without changing anything. Tap the pencil button to start writing (the formatting toolbar rides just above the keyboard), and the ✓ check in the header when you're done. A brand-new note or entry skips straight into writing. Sticky notes open as their own colored card: pick the color, set a due date and time (a dated sticky surfaces on Today as a reminder), and type away — the body scrolls on its own, so a long sticky keeps the line you're writing above the keyboard. Deleting an undated sticky offers Remind me first, which keeps it and dates it tomorrow so it resurfaces on Today instead of disappearing. Below the body, a single line shows how many files and linked items the note has — tap it to open the full attachments and related-items panels, or leave it closed and let the note have the screen. A journal entry opens as one paper-like sheet: the serif date and title sit at the top of the page like a printed masthead, your writing follows on the same paper, the day’s writing prompt waits above the page (tap to use it), and the Style row switches the notebook look in place. Wide tables keep their column widths and scroll sideways on their own. The ⋯ menu (the printer button, in Journal) exports the note or entry as a PDF to the share sheet.
Training programs travel. Build a program from your saved templates under Training → My programs, share it with a training partner by link, or tap Import from a link and paste one they sent you — you get your own copy to run on your own days. See Training.
Health on the go covers the daily loop: the Health home draws your wellness score as the same radar as the web — tap a point on the chart to see that pillar's score and detail, and use the list button to show or hide the breakdown — alongside a quick-log strip (Add water, Add reading, Check in, Log meal, Meditate), supplements due, today's training, and shortcuts into the daily check-in, the nutrition log, and mindfulness. Add reading opens a vitals quick-entry board: tap a tile (weight and the other self-reported body and vitals readings) to log it with the last value pre-filled, with the full metric catalog one tap behind More metrics — readings that come from a wearable are labeled synced, so you only override them by hand. The check-in is the familiar card of quick 1–5 ratings for mood, energy, stress, and sleep quality plus a sleep hours field — each tap saves instantly (a brief Saved confirms it), and sleep that synced from a wearable is labeled so you only edit it to override. A dedicated Vitals screen (its own pill in the Health header) gathers your body and vitals readings: a Body & measurements board of tiles you can tap to open a full history — a trend chart with 1W / 1M / 3M / All ranges, your latest/average/min/max, and every entry, where you can add a reading for any past day or delete a mistaken one. Logging a reading lets you pick the day (not just today), and each save confirms with a small toast. The nutrition log is the full daily food log: step between days with the arrows (tap the date to jump back to today), watch the calorie ring and macro bars fill against your daily target (set or edit the target right from the Macros card), quick-add water with one tap (undo removes the last pour), log a weigh-in for the day, and log meals — re-add a recent meal from the Quick add chips, or tap a saved recipe under Add from recipes to log it with servings pre-filled. Mindfulness is the full meditation timer: pick a style (Unguided, Box breathing, or 4-7-8) and a length, choose a chime (with a Preview button and its own volume), set an optional interval bell and gentle wind-down cues, and pick an ambient sound that loops through your sit — the breathing circle expands as you breathe in, settings save as you change them, and finishing logs the minutes to your day. Keep the screen on for interval bells and ambient sound; if the screen locks mid-sit, a notification lets you know when your time is up, and the timer is exactly where it should be when you return. If a wearable is connected, a Readiness card also joins the Health home — recovery, day strain, HRV, and last night's sleep with a plain-language read; tap a number to see what it means. Your measurement units (US or metric) follow the toggle on the Account screen.
Recipes is its own tab in Health, and the full native surface — not a read-only list. Browse recipe cards (each showing separate kcal · P · C · F pills, a Contributed by credit when someone shared it, a fits your day / kcal left read against today's target, and a small trash icon to delete), narrow them with the meal-category filter chips, and tap one for the detail — a serving stepper that re-scales the macros, the ingredient list, and the numbered How to make steps. Below your own recipes, Starter recipes are split into Core proteins (cook one batch, portion it, and build a week of meals on top) and Meals by category; a core protein opens with its batch yield, storage note, and a Build meals with this list. Building a recipe is no-AI: paste your ingredients, optionally Built on a core protein, tap Estimate from catalog to total the macros from the built-in food list, then adjust and save. The Quick meal logger searches that same food list — pick foods and servings and it sums the macros locally — and Plan & shop turns a set of recipes and servings into a single, servings-scaled shopping list in your Lists.
Training has its own area in Health on the app: your recent workouts with sets, volume in your units, and how each session felt; your templates, grouped into collapsible categories — tap Start on a curated standard split to copy it into My templates and begin it right away as your first workout, or ⧉ duplicate it to just make it your own; and the planner, where a planned session completes with one tap of the ✓ check — the app fills in the weights from your last session and marks every set done, then shows the same calm session summary as the web. Tap Schedule (or the calendar icon on a template) to put a template on a day and time — it lands in the planner just like on the web. Planner rows show the next seven sessions (Show all expands the rest), sessions from a program carry a small Wk 2 · Program name tag, anything past its date is marked overdue, and the ✎ pencil opens a plan in the editor to change its day or time.
Programs, on your phone. Browse programs on the Training screen lists the coach-designed multi-week plans: tap one for its goals, equipment, and week-by-week breakdown, tap the designer for their profile and other programs, and Set up program walks you through picking your training days, an optional time, a start date, and any exercise swaps — confirm and your planner fills with every session. If you're enrolled, the program's card sits at the top of the Training screen — week progress, your next session one tap away, and Extend or End when a run wraps up.
The Exercises button opens your exercise library — search it, browse the movement catalog to add variants, create a fully custom exercise, or tap any row to jump to that exercise's history. And Tools carries the same lifting calculators as the web (estimated 1RM and the plate calculator) plus a standalone rest timer for training off-plan — see Lifting tools.
A Records section on the Training screen lists your current best estimated one-rep max for every exercise — tap one to open that exercise's full history: the same per-session trend chart, record timeline, and recent sessions as the web (see Exercise history), with 3M / 1Y / All ranges. You can also get there from a record's name in the post-workout summary, or by searching for an exercise.
Work out with your phone in hand. Tap Log workout — or Repeat last, Start on a template, or a planned session in the planner — and the app opens a live session that walks you through one set at a time. Your current exercise and set are front and center, with big +/− weight and reps buttons (stepping in your units) pre-filled from what you did last time — the set you're on is highlighted in the "Last" line as the number to beat, and if a program prescribes an effort level it shows read-only as @RPE next to the set number. One Done button logs the set and starts the rest timer: pick 1:00 / 1:30 / 2:00 / 3:00, nudge it ±30s, or skip it — it remembers the rest length you picked last session, rings a crisp two-beep training cue, and shows what's coming next, with a small ± row to bump the upcoming set's weight or reps without touching the timer. Each set is pre-filled from the set you just did, and if nothing comes after the current exercise, Pick next exercise on the rest screen lines up your next movement while you rest. The screen stays awake for the whole session, so the chime fires on time even if you don't touch the phone between sets — and if you lock the phone anyway, a notification rings when the rest is up, so face-down-between-sets works too. Exercises linked as a superset flow back-to-back with no rest within a round (you rest once at the end of each round), drop sets start immediately, and tapping the set badge changes the set's type (normal → warm-up W → drop ↓). Add an exercise mid-session, grow it with + Add set (pre-filled with the current set's weight and reps — built for training without a plan), slip a + Warm-up in front of your working set, pair exercises live with Superset with…, add a ↓ Drop set in one tap (each tap adds the next drop of the 100 → 80 → 64 cascade, and the protocol carries forward to your next set automatically, re-computed from what you actually lifted), or Skip set / Remove set / Remove exercise from the same thumb-sized rows if you overshot. Big ‹ › arrows move between exercises, and tapping the exercise name opens the full list — jump anywhere, remove something, or add the next movement from there. Exercises can be reordered any time — from the pre-start preview's up/down arrows, mid-session, and even while the rest timer runs (it keeps counting and still lands on the right set). The pre-start preview is where you shape the day: reuse an old workout, then drop what you're not doing with the remove icon and add what you are with + Add exercise, all before the clock starts. The picker shows one card per movement with its variations as chips (Barbell, Dumbbell, Cable, Machine, …), so "bench press" is one row, not fifteen. Tap the small variant chip under the current exercise's name to change the grip, angle or machine mid-workout — same movement, so your sets and pairing stay put. If the Workout complete screen appears before you're actually done, Keep going drops you back into the session — or + Add exercise right from that screen. Hit Finish workout whenever you're done — the duration is filled in for you, you can tag how it felt and jot a one-line note (both optional), and you get the same session summary as the web, new records included. Only the sets you actually completed are saved, so a cut-short day never pads your records; starting an overdue planned workout logs it on the day you actually train. Leaving mid-session — the back arrow, a swipe back, or the Android back button — asks before discarding anything you've completed.
The full workout editor is in the app too: tap any logged workout to adjust it, or build a New template. It's a full-screen editor built for a phone in the gym — add exercises from a searchable picker you can filter by muscle group, and each set's fields show what you did last time as faint placeholders; tap Fill from last to copy them in and only change what's different. Numbers use the numeric keypad in your units, you can swap an exercise for another (your sets are kept, with a one-tap revert), link exercises into supersets, and change a set's type from its number badge. An exercise you haven't logged yet starts pre-filled with any defaults you've saved for it in the Exercise library on the web. Start a rest timer between sets, and save part-way: anything you've entered is kept. You can also save any session as a template, and tapping a workout under Today's training on the Health home opens it right in the editor.
What differs from the web
A few things are intentionally web-first:
- Health — the app carries the daily Health loop (wellness score, quick logging including the Add reading vitals quick-entry board, check-in, nutrition, mindfulness), the full Recipes library (browse and filter, recipe details with the How to make steps, Core proteins that you cook once and build a week of meals on top of, build a recipe with Estimate from catalog, the Quick meal logger, and Plan & shop), plus Training (workout log, templates, planner with one-tap complete and template scheduling, program browsing and setup, the exercise library, lifting tools with a standalone rest timer, live guided workout sessions, the full workout editor, and your records with per-exercise history); the deeper areas — the full vitals and labs screens, wearable connections, changing a program's exercise substitutions mid-run, and importing a recipe from a link or photo — are on the web for now and are coming to the app area by area.
- Finance connections — connecting, reconnecting, and adding bank or brokerage accounts happen on the web. Everything else is on the app: net worth, accounts and holdings — the Investments tab flips between By account and a flat Holdings view with each position's day change, gain/loss, and a portfolio allocation bar — cash flow built from your real transactions (re-categorize a transaction right from the feed, filter by category or by account, and pull fresh activity with Refresh transactions), recent activity on any connected card or bank account (tap the account to see what you've charged and paid — for a card, since your last payment — then See all in Cash Flow for the full history), and the AI-assisted quarterly report with PDF export — plus syncing on demand, per-account refresh, and disconnecting a bank you no longer want linked. The app flags any bank that needs attention (Reconnect needed, Reconnect soon, New accounts, or Access revoked) in Connections with an Open on the web link to handle it. See Finance.
- Workspaces — you can create and manage workspaces only on the web; the app reflects items already shared with you (and uses a trip’s workspace for expense splitting). Shared items show up in your normal lists without the web’s workspace badge for now. See Workspaces & sharing.
- Vision board — the app shows your board full-screen to view on the go; arranging and editing is best on the web.
- Navigation — the web’s grouped sidebar folds Notes, Journal, Finance, and Vision into the Personal tab on mobile.
Attachments: every attachments area has two add buttons — Photo opens your photo library (photos and videos, several at once) and File opens the Files browser. Opening files: tap an attachment and the app downloads it and opens your device’s native preview/share sheet (on iOS, Quick Look with Save to Files). After signing in, the app asks permission to send notifications so it can remind you before things happen.
Reminders: the app nudges you before calendar entries — events, scheduled tasks, flights, routines and more — right on your phone. Choose which kinds remind you and how far ahead under Account → Reminders; the same choices also drive the alarms in any calendar you subscribed to. See the Calendar guide for the full list and defaults.
Watch alerts arrive as push notifications: when a fare drops to your target, a real deal appears on a watched route, or award space opens up, your phone gets a push alongside the email — tap it to jump straight to your watched routes. This follows your sign-in automatically: alerts start when you sign in on a device and stop when you sign out. See the Flights guide.
Everything saves the moment you change it and syncs in the background, so you can move between phone and web and pick up exactly where you left off.
