Motion Docs Mobile: A Workspace in Your Pocket

Motion Docs have transformed how teams capture information, collaborate on projects, and turn ideas into action. Now, we're excited to introduce Motion Docs on Mobile - bringing the full power of Motion Documents to your mobile device.

Access Your Documents Anywhere, Anytime

With Motion Docs Mobile, your entire workspace fits in your pocket. Whether you're working on the go, traveling without your laptop, or simply prefer an alternative interface to interact with your projects and tasks; Motion's Mobile Docs are the tool for you.

The New Mobile Home Tab

We've created a dedicated Mobile Home tab specifically designed for the mobile experience. This tab serves as your command center, similar to the sidebar on desktop, with some mobile-specific enhancements:

  • Recently Opened Section: Quickly access any document you've recently viewed on any device - perfect for continuing work seamlessly between desktop and mobile

  • Complete Workspace Navigation: Browse through all your workspaces, folders, projects, and documents with an interface optimized for mobile use.

  • Create New Content On-The-Go: Start new documents, tasks, or projects directly from your mobile device.

Full-Featured Document Editing

Motion Docs Mobile isn't a watered-down version of the desktop experience. You get full functionality right on your mobile device:

  • Rich Text Formatting: Create and edit documents with all the formatting options you need - bullet lists, numbered lists, headings, tables, and code blocks.

  • @-Mentions and Linking: Connect to other documents, tasks, projects, or team members with simple @-mentions.

  • Inline Creation: Use the / command to create tasks, projects, or new documents without switching contexts.

  • Multimedia Support: Embed images, attachments, and even YouTube videos that can be played directly within the document.

Seamless Collaboration From Anywhere

Stay connected with your team no matter where you are:

  • Real-Time Updates: See changes as they happen and collaborate with team members in real-time

  • Notifications: Receive alerts when you're mentioned or when documents you follow are updated

  • Document Sharing: Share documents with individuals or entire workspaces directly from your mobile device

  • Comments and Feedback: View, add, and respond to comments (full commenting functionality coming soon)

Enhancing Your Docs With the Power of AI

Now you can experience the power of Motion's AI tooling directly from your mobile Motion Docs. Whether you want to create tasks directly from keywords or phrases in your mobile doc, highlight sentences/passages in your doc(s) to intelligently summarize the contents, or use AI to rewrite or edit your highlighted text-- Motion's Mobile AI Docs are here to help you accomplish your goals.

Simply highlight a word, sentence, paragraph, or full doc and select "Ask AI" to unlock Motion AI's key features.

Key Features:

  • AI-powered text tools: summarize, rewrite, and create content with the touch of a button.

    • Simply highlight a sentence, paragraph, or entire doc to utilize the 'Summarize', 'Rewrite', or 'Generate Content' prompts.

    • The 'Summarize' tool will prompt you to instruct the AI with specific instructions of what aspects of the doc you would like to summarize, which is just like having a personal assistant in your pocket. (Note: the 'Summarize' tool can even be utilized without providing a prompt to the AI. This results in a more general summary when compared to prompted summaries).

    • The 'Rewrite' tool will allow you to effortlessly spruce up your writing for added impact.

    • The 'Create Content' tool can be accessed by using the '/' prompt in your mobile Motion Doc. Simply input some key details and press 'Write Content' and watch Motions AI do the rest (like having an author in your pocket).

  • Turn highlighted text into a task or tasks instantly.

    • Simply highlight a word or phrase in your mobile doc and select the 'Create Task' prompt for intelligent, effortless task creation.

    • Alternatively, use the 'Create Multiple Tasks' option to create multiple tasks from a highlighted passage in your Motion Mobile Doc.

  • AI tools in mobile docs are aware of your current project and document context, allowing for more relevant suggestions and content generation.

    • Motion's AI actively learns from the content of your ongoing projects in docs and will tailor its feedback and assistance to best match the context of your ongoing project(s).

  1. Update your Motion app to the latest version

  2. Explore the new Mobile Home tab to find your documents

  3. Create your first mobile document by tapping the + button

  4. Connect it to existing work using @-mentions and the / command

Motion Docs Mobile brings the seamless integration of information and action that you love about Motion to your mobile device. It's not just about accessing your documents on the go - it's about having your entire workspace and team collaboration system wherever you are.

(Note: The Motion Docs Mobile feature is being gradually rolled out. If you don't see it in your app yet, you'll get access in the coming weeks.)
