Mobile Behavior​

Limitations:

  • No true always-on-top on mobile browsers
  • Widget stays within browser viewport
  • Can't overlay other apps (browser restriction)

Optimization:

  • Touch-friendly drag handle
  • Larger tap targets
  • Snap to screen edges
  • Doesn't cover task content

PWA Install:

  • Installable as app for better experience
  • Close to native feel
  • Still browser-bound

Better on mobile:

  • Use full Execute Mode
  • Or pause and resume when needed
  • Minimize less useful on small screens
