Mobile devices

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

CrossWatch 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

• The footer Scrobble “Now Playing” card (when enabled)

• A quick toggle between Compact and Full UI

Install as an app (PWA)

You can install CrossWatch 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.

iPhone / iPad (Safari)

1. Open CrossWatch in Safari

2. Tap Share

3. Tap Add to Home Screen

Android (Chrome)

Summary

CrossWatch has a phone-friendly UI by default.

Use the mobile dashboard for quick status checks.

Install it as a PWA once the UI is served over HTTPS.

Next steps

• Set up HTTPS so PWA install works: HTTPS/TLS.

• Enable or verify the “Now Playing” footer card if you use scrobbling: Playing Card.
