Simple view on your phone
A simpler Llamabyt for your phone: Chat with Yarvi, your to-dos and your team, and how to turn it on and off.
- On a phone, Llamabyt asks once how you want to use it there. Simple view keeps what you need on the go.
- Choose it and press Continue. The full app stays one tap away.
- Chat is Yarvi: ask him anything, by typing or out loud, and he gets your llamas on it. The box stays right above the tabs.
- One line sums up what happened since you were here. Tap it to see it all.
- What needs you waits right above the box. A llama asking for your OK shows how long it still waits.
- Tap it: the same card as in its conversation, with everything it would send. Allow or Deny.
- To-dos: what needs you and what’s in progress on top, then your own tasks, with a count of what’s due today or late.
- Up next lists your tasks, late first. Tap the circle to mark a task done.
- Team has your llamas, teammates and guests. A tap opens your conversation with them, full screen.
- Your face opens the menu: Settings, Use the full app, Report a problem and Sign out.
- Use the full app switches at once. Switch back any time in Settings, or with Switch to Simple view in the full app’s workspace menu: it opens on Chat.
Simple view keeps what you need on the go: talking to Yarvi, your own tasks, and the people and llamas you work with. It’s only for phones, never a tablet or a computer, and only on the phone where you choose it: your computer keeps the full app.
- Chat
- Your Home, a chat with Yarvi, typed or out loud. Ask him anything, and he gets your llamas on it. The box stays just above the tabs, and what needs you waits right above the box.
- To-dos
- What needs you and what’s in progress, then your own tasks. The tab’s number counts the open ones due today or late.
- Team
- Your llamas, teammates and guests. A tap opens your conversation with them, full screen, and the back arrow brings you back to the tab you came from.
On a phone that’s wide for its height, like an iPhone Duo closed or any phone held sideways, the tabs sit on a rail at the side of the screen, so the chat keeps its height. Opened sideways, an iPhone Duo shows them as a sidebar beside the page, with Your chats with Yarvi and Settings: Collapse the sidebar puts it away to the rail, and Expand the sidebar brings it back. Simple view stays on as you open or close the phone, and so does a call with Yarvi.
The menu opens from your face at the top right: your account and workspace (switch to another one there), Settings, Use the full app, Report a problem and Sign out. On Chat, the button at the top left opens Your chats with Yarvi, with New chat at the top.
At the top of a new chat, under a greeting and the day, one line sums up what happened since you were last here: how many things need you, how many are late, start today, or were done by your llamas. Tap it to see them all: Waiting for you, Late, Starting today and Done by your llamas, each with its llama’s face, and a tap on a row opens it. At the bottom, Catch me up asks one of your llamas for a short summary, a few lines with links to the details, in your conversation with it, and Talk it through starts a call with Yarvi (on the plans with voice). It’s the same reading as Your Home’s in the full app. Yarvi doesn’t read this line, but ask him what’s late or stuck and he looks at your tasks himself.
On the plans with voice (Studio and the organization plans), press the microphone in Chat’s box (or Talk it through) to talk with Yarvi out loud. On Chat, the call takes the box’s place: whether Yarvi is speaking or listening, the minutes left, and End. The call goes on while you move around: open To-dos, a task, a Canvas item or a conversation to check something as you talk. Away from Chat, a slim bar at the top shows whether Yarvi is speaking or listening, with End. Tap the bar to go back to Chat, where what you both said is kept in the chat, with any cards he shows.
The call ends when you press End, sign out, switch to the full app or another workspace, or close Llamabyt. While it’s on, your other chats with Yarvi and a new chat wait until it ends.
Above Chat’s box, Simple view pins the first thing that waits for you, as a card with the llama’s face and one line about it: a llama asking for your OK, a task handed back for your review, a task a llama asks you to take, or a request of yours that’s paused. 1 more needs you (or how many more) opens the whole list, and so does the card itself when more are stacked behind it. While you type, it steps aside so the chat keeps its room.
A llama’s request opens as a sheet with the same card its conversation shows: what it wants to do and why, everything it would send, who would get it, and Allow (or Let it use this) and Deny. Unanswered requests are denied after 5 minutes. One that was already answered, or expired, says so. Open the conversation shows where it’s working.
Anything else opens its own page: the task to review, or the conversation where your request waits.
When a llama asks for your OK while you’re away, tap its notification: in Simple view, its sheet opens over the conversation.
Guests don’t see this: the requests that wait for someone wait for the llama’s owner, who is on the team.
At the top, Needs you lists the same things as Chat‘s pin, and In progress lists your own requests llamas are working on now and your llamas’ tasks they’re working on. A tap opens it.
Below, Up next lists your open tasks from every project, late first, then by due date, then those without one. Red is late, amber is due within 2 days. Under it, two rows open with a tap:
- Waiting on someone
- tasks on your llamas, tasks you or your llamas asked someone to take that they haven’t answered yet, and your tasks blocked by another task.
- Done in the last 14 days
- what you finished lately.
It’s the same task as everywhere else: a change here is a change there. Guests see their own tasks and their own requests.
A task opens in a simple page of its own: its title, project, status, priority, due date and who it’s assigned to, each changed with a tap, the description to read, the llama working on it, and its comments with a box to add one. The ⋯ at the top has Remind me, which sets a reminder about it, and Open in the full app, for subtasks, labels, milestones, fields and History.
A Canvas item a llama made (a document, a page or a whiteboard) opens full screen, to read and to comment on: Comments at the bottom shows its comments and adds one. A page with code shows without running until you press Run this page, as in the full app. To edit it, see other versions or share it, press the screen beside Comments (Open in the full app). The back arrow closes it.
Settings, from the menu, has the basics on one page: your name, picture, language, theme and time zone, notifications on this phone, How Llamabyt looks on this phone, and Reminders from Yarvi. More settings in the full app opens the rest, and Report a problem writes to Llamabyt’s team.
Whatever you change in a simple page is changed everywhere: it’s the same task, item and account.
To leave Simple view, open the menu and press Use the full app: it switches at once.
To come back, open the workspace menu (the workspace name at the top left of the full app) and press Switch to Simple view: it opens on Chat.
Or choose in Settings, under How Llamabyt looks on this phone: one tap switches. Choosing Simple view opens Chat, and choosing Full app keeps you on the page you’re on.
Pages Simple view doesn’t have, like a project or Files, open in the full app for that one thing, with Back to Simple view at the top: it takes you back to the page you came from. Choosing a view in Settings there switches for good, and the bar goes.
If you already used the full app on your phone and never chose how it looks, Llamabyt shows you Simple view once, with a short video: Opt in now turns it on for this phone and opens Chat, and Not now closes it for good. It never shows during a call with Yarvi, or once you’ve chosen Full app.
Yarvi can also notify you on your phone: a morning brief, what’s due today and the reminders you ask him for, in Settings → Reminders from Yarvi (in the full app, Settings → Profile).
Your choice stays on this phone for your account, also after you sign out. Someone else signing in on the same phone chooses for themselves.
Guests get Simple view too, with only what they already reach: Yarvi’s help on Chat, their own tasks, and on Team the llamas that take their work and the people they share a conversation or a project with.
