Pellet on iPad and iPhone

The iOS app is the same Pellet, laid out for a smaller screen. Same vault, same files, same features — not a cut-down companion.

Getting your vault there

Two options:

• Sync — pair the device with your relay and the vault arrives.
• Files app — put the vault in iCloud Drive or On My iPad and open it directly.

How it’s laid out

Below a phone-sized width, the three-column layout becomes a stack: folders, then the note list, then the document, with a back button to climb out. A bottom bar switches between Notes, Tasks, Calendar and Today.

Tabs and split panes collapse to a single document — there isn’t room for a tab strip on a phone, and a workspace saved on your desktop arrives simplified rather than broken.

Apple Pencil

On iPad, .ink pages take handwriting with pressure sensitivity, using the system’s own engine. See Canvas and drawing.

This is the one thing the iPad does that the desktop can’t.

Touch

Controls get bigger automatically on a touch screen — every button reaches the size Apple recommends for fingers. You can force it either way in Appearance.

Swipe a row in a list for its actions.

Two things that are desktop-only

Not choices — limits of what iOS allows an app to do:

• Google Calendar sign-in needs a temporary local web server, which an iOS app can’t run. Apple and subscribed calendars work fine on both.
• The automation API needs a listening network socket, which iOS doesn’t permit.

Everything else — notes, links, tasks, boards, calendar, canvas, whiteboards, handwriting, PDFs, sync — works on both.
