OpenProject is increasingly used in **field-based and mobile professional environments**. We know there are **customers and users who rely on tablets as their primary work device**, including:
* Hospital staff moving between wards
* City hall and public service employees working in the field
* Construction, infrastructure, and inspection teams
* Project managers using tablets during meetings or on-site
These users need more than a phone-like experience. Tablets are often used as:
* **Primary productivity devices**
* **Shared workstations in the field**
* **Hybrid devices (touch + keyboard + stylus)**
Today, the OpenProject Mobile App mostly behaves like a scaled-up phone UI on tablets. This leads to:
* Wasted screen space
* Excessive navigation steps
* Limited visibility of data
* Reduced efficiency for professional workflows
To support these real-world use cases, OpenProject needs a **purpose-built tablet UI** that:
* Increases information density
* Reduces navigation friction
* Supports side-by-side workflows
* Matches how professionals actually work on tablets
This EPIC establishes the **foundation for multi-device support**, starting with tablet landscape because they already play a critical role in many customers’ work environments. While the design is intended for tablet landscape use, users on MacOS will also benefit of this update until a more specific desktop user interface is developed.
