Clear and concise description of the problem

Hello Team Any,

Thank you for building on such an interesting project! I am a new adapter of the anytype application and I wish to use it for my workflow (moving from Obsidian).

So, the issue I have is with the iOS app, or actually the lask of an iPadOS app. The current iOS app uses only a small portion of the iPad's scree and that is not very ideal and neither is it nearly a good an experience as the desktop clients provide.

Suggested solution

Therefore, I request the tem to consider making a seperate app for iPads.

Alternative

or maybe dynamically using the canvas screen available to the device?

Hey, @Veethahavya! In the upcoming release, we will ship a small improvement by increasing the editor width to make full use of the screen size on iPads (Please, check attached video in PR #391).

We're definitely aware of the need for full support on iPadOS, but I can't provide a specific timeline right now because our priorities and team size limit us. Nevertheless, we're gradually moving in that direction by taking small steps ✌️

Hello! Sorry to muscle in on a thread, but rather than spam the issues channel with something that isn’t really an issue, I thought I might ask here as its relevant: do you foresee the Apple Pencil and handwriting any form in the iPadOS specific app of the future?

EDIT Scrap that. I saw the roadmap.. good news!

@milesmcclane, Hello! Anytype app support iPhone and iPad. We continue to evolve one app for all platforms. We plan to improve the iPad experience, including better layout, multi-window and apple pencil. 🙂

Hello, i have the same request for iPadOS. I love the sidebar on Mac/Win/Linux which makes it easy to switch on tabs, but the problem is the sidebar is missing on iPadOS. Every time if I want to return, it takes a lot of efforts just to click on a small button or swipe a large distance, which makes a very bad UX. Can't there be a sidebar for iPadOS just like the desktop version?
