Roam Mobile

Roam Mobile is the native app for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Install Roam has the store links.
Sign in with your Roam account and your graphs are there, in sync with everywhere else you use Roam.

The app's native view is built for phones: it feels native, opens fast, and handles large graphs without trouble.
You can edit in it, drag blocks around, react with emoji, and use queries, tables, sliders, block references, and callouts.
For things the native view doesn't cover yet, the app can open the full Roam web app.
Encrypted graphs aren't available in the native view, because the servers it reads from can't decrypt them. They open in the web app view instead.

Quick Capture is for getting a thought down fast: open the app, type, done.
Captured notes land on your Daily Notes page the next time the graph syncs.
The capture template is customizable in the app's settings, so captures can arrive pre-tagged and pre-structured.
Encrypted graphs don't appear in Quick Capture's graph picker.

Encrypted graphs can unlock with Face ID or your fingerprint instead of typing the password.
Links to Roam pages and blocks can open directly in the app.
