Web, desktop, and mobile differences

Latte is one account across three surfaces — the web app in your browser, the desktop app, and the mobile app. Everything syncs in real time, so you can start on your laptop and pick up on your phone. A few surfaces live on only one platform, though — here's the map.

🖥 Web
📱 Mobile

Latte on the web runs in your browser and is built for a laptop or desktop screen. Open it on a phone browser and you'll see a prompt reading "Latte web is not accessible on mobile. Instead check out Latte for Android and iOS!" that points you to the app instead.
Your landing page is the Home dashboard.

{
  "id": "web.reference.platform-differences.home-dashboard",
  "platform": "web",
  "route": "/",
  "actions": [
    {
      "waitForApp": {}
    }
  ]
}
```
A few things happen only on the web app: setting up your courses and school schedule, linking Google Calendar, and the standalone sign-in page.

On the Latte desktop app

The desktop app is the same web app in its own window (packaged with Electron) — identical features, and it stays open outside your browser.

Latte for Android and Latte for iOS are native apps — install them from the Play Store or the App Store.
Your landing page is the Today tab — the "what should I do now?" view that stands in for the web Home dashboard.

    {
      "tapOn": {
        "id": "today-tab"
      }
    }
  ]
}
```
Some things are mobile-only: adding a friend by QR Code, capturing a voice note with Quick Capture, sharing a link or file into Latte from another app, and the dedicated screen for adding an email address.
Tapping an event opens a full detail screen (on the web it opens as an overlay on the calendar) — same information, different shape.

Good to know

Signed in on more than one device? Anything you change on one shows up on the others within moments — there's no manual sync button.
