DataMind OS on your phone

On a phone, DataMind OS opens as Minds, where you chat with the AI agents that work on your data. Use this page to see what a phone can open, how to use Minds on it and how to install the app.

What opens on a phone

The width of the browser window decides which layout you get.

Browser window width	What you get
Below 768 pixels	Minds, shared Oda chats and the access-denied page. Every other page opens Minds instead.
768 pixels or more	The full DataMind OS, with the pages your permissions allow.

A tablet that is narrower than 768 pixels, for example after you turn it, gets the phone layout. The switch happens only after the window has stayed narrow for 0.4 seconds, so a brief change in width does not move you.

Tip

To work with Lake, Warehouse, the Editor, DataPrism, Slides or Universe, use a computer or a tablet that is at least 768 pixels wide.

Open Minds on your phone

Open your DataMind OS address in your phone's browser and sign in with your DataMind OS email and password. See Sign in and sign out.
You land in Minds.
Tap the panel button at the top left to open the panel. It lists New Chat, Search, Minds, Artifacts and Scheduled Tasks, followed by your chats. Some items appear only if your permissions allow them.
Tap a chat to open it, or tap New Chat to start one.

The top bar shows the section you are in: Minds, Artifacts or Scheduled Tasks. Inside a chat, the top bar shows the chat's title. Tap the title to open its menu. It offers Rename, Bookmark (Remove Bookmark on a bookmarked chat) and Delete, where you are allowed to use them. Next to the title, the Tool History and Artifacts icons open those panels on top of the chat. The icon at the top right starts a new chat.

Install DataMind OS on your phone

When your browser can install the app, a banner at the top of Minds says Add Minds to your home screen. It has an Install button and an X button.

Tap Install. On Android, your browser shows its install prompt, and you confirm it there. On iPhone and iPad, DataMind OS shows the steps to add the app from Safari.
To close the banner without installing, tap the X button. The banner stays hidden until you open DataMind OS in a new browser tab.

On iPhone and iPad, the banner appears only in Safari. On Android, it appears when your browser offers to install the app. If you closed it, or want to install later, open the panel, tap your name at the bottom and tap Install app. This item appears only when your browser can install the app.

For step-by-step help, see iPhone and iPad or Android.

Use the installed app

The app appears on your home screen as DataMind OS.
It opens full screen, without browser bars, and stays in portrait orientation.
The app keeps only its own files on your phone. Your chats, answers and data are not stored offline, so you need a connection to use Minds.
When a new version is ready, a message Update available appears with a Refresh button. Tap Refresh to load the new version.
The banner and Install app do not appear inside the installed app.

Use the account menu on your phone

Open the panel and tap your name at the bottom to open the account menu.

Item	What it does
Install app	Installs DataMind OS. It appears only when your browser can install the app.
Dark mode	Switches this browser to dark mode. It shows Light mode while dark mode is on.
Change theme	Opens the theme picker.
Logout	Signs you out of DataMind OS.

Limits and edge cases

Below 768 pixels, a link to any other page, such as a report, a table or an Editor query, opens Minds instead. Lake, Warehouse, Editor, DataPrism, Slides, Universe and every other page are not available on a phone.
A shared Oda chat link opens on a phone.
If your account does not have the View Minds permission, you see the access-denied page. See Who can do what with Minds.
Set up desktop tools such as DataGrip, Excel and Power BI from a computer. See Integrations.

Questions, answered

Why did a report link on my phone open Minds?

Below 768 pixels, only Minds, shared Oda chats and the access-denied page open. Open the link on a computer, or on a tablet that is at least 768 pixels wide.

Does my iPad get the full product?

Yes, when the browser window is 768 pixels wide or more. If the phone layout appears, turn the iPad to landscape.

Why do I see an access-denied page on my phone?

Your account does not have the View Minds permission. Ask your administrator to give it to you. See Who can do what with Minds.

How do I switch to dark mode on my phone?

Open the panel, tap your name at the bottom, and tap Dark mode. To choose another colour theme, tap Change theme.

How do I sign out on my phone?

Open the panel, tap your name at the bottom, and tap Logout.

I closed the install banner. How do I get it back?

It returns when you open DataMind OS in a new browser tab. To install now, open the panel, tap your name, and tap Install app if it appears.

What does Update available mean?

A new version of DataMind OS is ready. Tap Refresh to load it.

Does the installed app work offline?

No. The app keeps its own files on your phone, but not your data. You need a connection to use Minds.
