Mobile devices

Use CW on phones, switch compact/full UI, and install it as a PWA over HTTPS.

CW works well on phones. The UI exposes a lightweight mobile view by default.

Mobile dashboard

Use the mobile dashboard when you just need status and quick checks.

It focuses on:

• Statistics and Recent syncs
• Recent Activity for recent local scrobbles
• The footer Scrobble “Now Playing” card (when enabled)
• A quick toggle between Compact and Full UI
• Full UI is NOT optimized for mobile devices only the compact UI is.

Install as an app (PWA)

You can install CW on Android and iOS as a “home screen app”.

Requirements:

• Serve the UI over HTTPS
• Reverse proxy with a trusted (public) certificate

Related: HTTPS/TLS.

Self-signed HTTPS is fine for encryption. You may still see browser warnings.
