15 Best Project Management Apps to Infuse Your Day with Efficiency

Most project management apps look the same in a browser. On a phone they don’t. Some let you build a whole project from an iPad, some only let you comment and change a status, and some stop working the moment you lose signal on a train or a job site.

This guide compares 19 project management apps for iPhone, iPad and Android on what actually matters on mobile: which platforms each one supports, what still works offline, what you can only do on desktop, and what it costs. We checked every app’s pricing, app availability and offline documentation on the vendor’s own site and app store listings in 2026.

What to look for in a project management mobile app

Whether you need an Android project management app for a field crew or an iPad app for planning, a good mobile app doesn’t have to do everything the desktop version does. It has to do the things you need away from your desk, reliably. Check these before you commit:

• Platforms. Make sure there is a native app for every device your team uses: iPhone, iPad and Android. A few apps are Apple only, and a few have no native app at all.
• What you can do on mobile. Updating a status and commenting are standard. Creating tasks, editing timelines or building automations often is not, so check the vendor’s mobile help page for what is desktop only.
• Offline mode. If you work in basements, on sites or while traveling, look for documented offline support, and read what it covers. Some apps let you edit offline; others only show items you opened earlier.
• Notifications. You should be able to choose which updates reach your phone, or mobile becomes noise.
• Time tracking. If you bill clients or need to know what work costs, logging hours from the phone saves a lot of reconstructing at the end of the week.
• Free plan and pricing model. Check whether mobile apps are included on the free plan and whether you pay per user or a flat monthly fee.

Mobile project management apps compared

“iPad” in this table means the App Store lists iPad as a supported device, not necessarily that the app has a dedicated tablet layout. Pricing works differently across these apps, so here is the entry point for each:

19 best project management apps for mobile

1. actiTIME

Key features:

• Timer and time logging on mobile
• Create and comment on tasks
• Timesheet submission
• Leave requests and work status

actiTIME is for teams that need to know where their hours go and what the work costs: agencies, consultancies, engineering and other project teams that bill clients or watch budgets. On the web you organize work by customer, project and task, with estimates, deadlines, custom statuses and a Kanban board, and managers approve timesheets and track cost, billing and time budgets for every project.

The actiTIME mobile app for iOS and Android is built around the part of project work people most often skip: recording time while they still remember it. You start a timer or log hours on a task, adjust overtime, and submit the week’s timesheet from the phone. You can also check your current assignments, create new tasks and comment on existing ones, run daily, weekly or monthly reports on your own time, request leave and change your work status so the team knows who is available. Because those hours land in the same system that calculates project cost and billing, what someone logs on a job site shows up in the project’s budget the same day.

What it can’t do: actiTIME has no Gantt charts or task dependencies, so teams that plan complex schedules on a timeline use a dedicated planning tool alongside it.

Pricing: free for up to 3 users; from $5 per user per month; 30 day free trial.

Time tracking became a breeze

With actiTIME’s mobile app, tracking time on the client’s side became a breeze. Now accountants simply switch on the timer on their phone as they start another task and get accurate time logs without taking notes.

2. monday.com

Key features:

• Board updates from the phone
• Status and people columns
• Notifications and updates feed
• Partial offline mode

monday.com suits teams across a company, not just project managers, who want work laid out on colorful boards everyone can read at a glance. Its mobile apps are also the most widely rated on this list: 4.8 on the App Store from about 48,000 ratings and 4.6 on Google Play from about 45,000 reviews.

On the phone you mostly keep boards current. You change statuses and owners, reply to updates and clear notifications. monday.com says about 70% of board actions work offline, but the two platforms differ a lot. The iOS app can only change column values offline, while the Android app can also create, rename, move and delete items. When you reconnect, your offline edit overwrites any conflicting change a colleague made, and there is no indicator that you are offline.

What it can’t do: mobile apps start on the Basic plan rather than the free one, and offline on iPhone is far narrower than on Android.

Limitation: the free plan stops at 2 seats and 3 boards, so most teams pay from the start.

Pricing: free for up to 2 seats; Basic $9, Standard $12, Pro $19 per seat per month, billed annually; 14 day trial.

3. ClickUp

Key features:

• Home, Inbox and My Tasks
• Chat in the app
• Workspace search
• Offline task creation

ClickUp is for teams that want one tool for tasks, docs and chat and are willing to spend time configuring it. Its mobile app is organized around a Home screen, an Inbox for notifications, a My Tasks list, chat and workspace search, plus the Brain AI assistant, so the phone works best as a place to triage what landed on you today.

Ratings show a gap between platforms: 4.7 on the App Store from about 9,900 ratings, but 4.0 on Google Play from about 21,000 reviews. ClickUp’s offline help page is precise about its limits. You can create new tasks without a connection and view tasks and notes you opened earlier, but you cannot edit those existing items until you reconnect, subtasks cannot be created offline, and reminders can be created offline only on web and desktop. That is enough to capture work on the move, but not to manage it.

What it can’t do: edit existing tasks or create subtasks offline.

Limitation: the free plan has just 60 MB of storage, which photo attachments from a phone use up quickly.

Pricing: free plan; Unlimited $7 and Business $12 per user per month billed annually ($10 and $19 monthly).

4. Wrike

Key features:

• Table and Kanban views
• Approvals on mobile
• Time logging and timesheets
• Offline on all plans

Wrike is aimed at growing and larger teams that run many projects with formal requests, approvals and reporting. Its mobile app goes further than most: table and Kanban views, dashboards and calendars, approvals, and time logging, and managers can approve and lock timesheets from the phone. It holds 4.6 on the App Store from about 6,900 ratings and 4.2 on Google Play from about 12,000 reviews.

Wrike also has one of the more capable offline modes, and it works on every plan. On iOS you can view and edit tasks you opened while online, changing title, assignee, dates and status, and you can create tasks, comment, attach files, submit requests and view reports you opened before. On Android you can also create folders and projects, and a queue shows changes waiting to sync. The condition is that offline only covers items cached in the current session, so after you log out or restart the app you have to open items online again.

What it can’t do: work offline with anything you did not open during the current session.

Limitation: the Team plan is capped at 15 users, and Business and higher plans are annual only.

Pricing: free plan; Team $10 and Business $25 per user per month, billed annually; 14 day trial.

5. Jira

Key features:

• Issues, sprints and backlog
• Board column editing
• Roadmaps and dashboards
• Service request approvals

Jira is widely used by software teams running agile projects, and its mobile app is one of the most complete here, with 4.7 on the App Store from about 41,000 ratings and 4.3 on Google Play from about 54,000 reviews. You can create, move and comment on issues, edit sprints and the backlog, change board columns, look at roadmaps and dashboards, and approve service requests, so a team lead can actually run a sprint from the phone rather than just watch it.

The trade off is connectivity. Jira Cloud has no offline mode, and Atlassian’s public tracker marks offline support as not being considered, so everything needs a connection. For developers at a desk that rarely matters, but it rules Jira out for crews who work where signal drops. Make sure you install the Jira Cloud app rather than Jira Data Center, a separate app for self managed installations that is rated 2.1.

What it can’t do: anything offline.

Limitation: the free plan is capped at 10 users and 2 GB of storage, and the per user price changes with team size.

Pricing: free for up to 10 users; Standard $8.48 and Premium $15.56 per user per month; 7 day trial.

6. Trello

Key features:

• Boards, lists and cards
• Inbox capture from email and Slack
• Photo attachments
• Offline editing on mobile

Trello is the simplest app on this list and a good fit for small teams and personal projects: boards with lists and cards you move along as work progresses. That model works well on a phone, where you add cards, set due dates, tick off checklists and attach photos with a thumb. The Inbox collects items from email, Slack and Teams so you can sort them later, and the Planner shows your cards against your calendar.

Trello has the largest install base here, with more than 10 million Android downloads, but its ratings are lower than its reputation: 4.3 on the App Store from about 7,000 ratings and 3.8 on Google Play from about 123,000 reviews. The mobile apps are the only Trello apps with offline mode, letting you create boards, lists and cards, assign members, add dates, labels, checklists and comments, and sync later. Atlassian’s offline documentation dates from 2017, so test it on your own device.

What it can’t do: work offline in the browser or desktop app.

Limitation: the free plan allows 10 boards per Workspace.

Pricing: free plan; Standard $5, Premium $10 per user per month billed annually; Enterprise $17.50 per user per month.

7. Teamwork.com

Key features:

• Tasks as lists or boards
• Time logging on tasks
• Milestones and calendar
• Photo and file uploads

Teamwork.com is built for agencies and other teams doing client work, where hours and budgets matter as much as tasks. Its iOS and Android app lets you create and assign tasks, view them as lists or boards, log time against projects and tasks, check milestones and calendar events, upload files and photos and reply to messages. Logging time on mobile matters here because the hours feed Teamwork.com’s budgets and billing, so an account manager can record a client call on the way out of the meeting.

The app’s ratings are the weakest among the major tools on this list: 2.1 on the App Store from 65 ratings and 3.3 on Google Play from 228 reviews, so expect the mobile experience to lag the web app. Offline use is not documented, so plan for a connection.

What it can’t do: any documented offline work.

Limitation: the free plan allows only 5 projects, which an agency outgrows in its first month.

Pricing: free for up to 5 projects; Basics $9.99, Accelerate $24.99 per user per month billed annually; 14 day trial.

8. Zoho Projects

Key features:

• Tasks, milestones and bugs
• Daily, weekly and monthly timesheets
• Split screen tablet layout
• Offline time logs

Zoho Projects is the cheapest full featured option here. The mobile app covers more than status updates: you can create tasks, milestones and bugs, keep a timesheet in daily, weekly or monthly views, work with documents and their versions, and follow project feeds. On Android tablets it offers a split screen layout that shows a list and the selected item side by side.

It is rated 4.4 on the App Store from about 730 ratings and 4.1 on Google Play from about 3,800 reviews, and both apps were updated this year. Zoho has added offline time logs: you can log hours on tasks and bugs you opened recently while online, and they sync automatically when you reconnect. Other offline editing is not documented, so treat the offline mode as a timesheet feature rather than a full offline workspace.

What it can’t do: documented offline editing beyond time logs.

Limitation: the free plan is limited to 3 projects.

Pricing: free for up to 5 users; Premium $4, Enterprise $9, Ultimate $14 per user per month, billed annually; 15 day trial.

9. Smartsheet

Key features:

• QR and barcode search
• Update and approval requests
• Push notifications
• Offline forms

Smartsheet runs projects in spreadsheet style grids, which suits operations, portfolio tracking and other data heavy work. Its mobile app is the highest rated on this list, at 4.8 on the App Store from about 120,000 ratings and 4.7 on Google Play from about 29,000 reviews.

The app is designed for people who update work rather than design it. You can search, including by scanning QR codes and barcodes, keep recents and favorites, get push notifications, and handle update, proofing and approval requests from a Requests tab. Barcode search makes it practical for warehouses and equipment tracking, where someone scans an asset and lands on its row. Offline support is narrow but useful: forms can be marked as available offline while you are connected, then filled in without a signal, which works for inspections and field data collection. Enterprise admins can switch that feature off.

What it can’t do: automated workflows have to be built on desktop or in a browser, and sheets themselves need a connection.

Limitation: there is no free plan, and Pro is limited to 10 members.

Pricing: Pro $9, Business $19 per member per month billed annually ($12 and $24 monthly); 30 day trial.

10. Basecamp

Key features:

• iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac and Windows apps
• Comments and chat
• Notification snoozing
• Flat pricing

Basecamp keeps each project’s to dos, messages, files and chat in one place, and it is a good fit for small companies and agencies that want calm communication more than detailed tracking. It has native apps for iPhone, iPad and Android as well as Mac and Windows, rated 4.7 on the App Store from about 21,000 ratings and 4.6 on Google Play from about 26,000 reviews.

On the phone, Basecamp is about catching up and responding: reading what changed in a project, commenting, chatting and checking off to dos. You can snooze notifications when you are off the clock, which matters for a tool whose whole pitch is reducing noise. Because pricing is flat rather than per user, a 30 person company with a handful of projects pays the same as a 5 person one. Search for the app published by 37signals, since the App Store also lists an unrelated fitness app with the same name.

What it can’t do: Gantt style scheduling or documented offline work.

Limitation: plans are capped by active projects, so agencies with many small projects can outgrow a tier quickly.

Pricing: free for 1 project; Freelancer $25, Studio $59, Pro $99 per month, Unlimited $299 per month billed annually; 30 day trial.

11. Nifty

Key features:

• Tasks, subtasks and checklists
• Time tracking
• Chat and discussions
• Docs editing on mobile

Nifty combines tasks, docs, chat and time tracking for small teams that want one workspace instead of several apps. It recently rebuilt its iOS and Android apps on a new mobile architecture, and in the app you can create and manage tasks, subtasks and checklists, track time, use the calendar, chat and discussions, and read and edit Docs. There are also Mac and Windows apps and a Chrome extension.

Ratings are modest and come from small samples: 4.3 on the App Store from 45 ratings and 3.5 on Google Play from 222 reviews, so the rebuild is worth testing yourself before rolling it out. Nifty’s pricing is unusually flexible, with both flat plans for a fixed number of members and per member plans, which helps teams that expect to grow or shrink. The free plan includes unlimited members, so you can invite clients to view progress without paying for them.

What it can’t do: documented offline work.

Limitation: the free plan allows only 2 active projects and 100 MB of storage.

Pricing: free plan; per member plans from $10 per member per month billed annually ($16 monthly); flat plans from $79 per month for 10 members; 14 day trial.

12. Backlog

Key features:

• Issues with subtasks
• Watchlist and comments
• Wikis and file sharing
• Flat pricing

Backlog, made by Nulab, organizes work as issues, with subtasks, wikis and file sharing, which suits technical teams and agencies that track work as tickets. The iPhone, iPad and Android apps let you create, assign and schedule issues, follow them on a watchlist and keep comment threads moving. It is rated 4.8 on the App Store from 43 ratings and 4.3 on Google Play from about 700 reviews.

Backlog’s flat pricing is its biggest draw for growing teams. Starter covers 30 users and 5 projects, Standard covers unlimited users and 100 projects, and Premium removes the project limit, with 17% off for annual billing, so adding people never raises the bill. The free plan allows 10 users. You cannot move back to the free plan after upgrading, so use the 30 day trial to decide.

What it can’t do: Backlog’s own App Store listing says Gantt and burndown charts are desktop features.

Limitation: the free plan allows only 1 project and 100 MB.

Pricing: free for 10 users; Starter $35, Standard $100, Premium $175 per month, flat; 30 day trial.

13. Podio

Key features:

• Project tracking
• Activity streams
• One to one and group chat
• Client collaboration

Podio, now part of Progress Software, is a long running work platform used by teams that collaborate with clients and outside partners in shared workspaces. It has apps for iOS, iPad and Android, and the mobile app shows activity streams, lets you organize and track projects, and includes one to one and group chat, so a client or contractor can follow a project and ask questions in the same place.

The two app stores tell different stories: 4.6 on the App Store from about 3,700 ratings, but 3.6 on Google Play from about 3,400 reviews, so Android users should try it before committing a team. Both apps were updated this year. API access and automation are sold as extras on top of the plans, which matters if you plan to connect Podio to other tools. A 30 day Premium trial lets you test the mobile apps with your own workspace before paying.

What it can’t do: documented offline work.

Limitation: the free plan lacks unlimited tasks, items and workflows, which start on Plus.

Pricing: free for up to 5 users; Plus $11.20, Premium $19.20 per user per month billed annually ($14 and $24 monthly); 30 day trial.

14. Redbooth

Key features:

• Tasks and conversations
• Kanban boards
• Gantt on the free plan
• Photo uploads

Redbooth is a straightforward task and project tool for small teams, including construction and field crews it markets to directly. It has apps for iPhone, iPad and Android, plus an Apple TV app, on every plan. On mobile you work with tasks, conversations and notifications, use Kanban boards and upload photos from the field. It is rated 4.6 on the App Store from about 1,300 ratings and 4.0 on Google Play from about 1,700 reviews.

Redbooth’s construction page says the app has an offline mode for viewing plans, updating tasks and adding photos, syncing when you reconnect. That claim comes from a marketing FAQ rather than a help article, so test it in airplane mode before you depend on it. Unusually, Gantt charts are included on the free plan, which makes Redbooth one of the cheapest ways to get a timeline view.

What it can’t do: offline mode is not covered in Redbooth’s help documentation.

Limitation: the free plan caps you at 2 users and 2 workspaces.

Pricing: free for 2 users; Pro $9, Business $15 per user per month billed annually ($12 and $18.75 monthly); 14 day trial.

15. OmniPlan

Key features:

• Gantt editing on iPad and iPhone
• Network view
• Monte Carlo estimation (Pro)
• MS Project export (Pro)

OmniPlan is for project managers who want real scheduling on an iPad or Mac rather than a task list. It is a traditional planning app with Gantt charts and a network view, and unlike most tools here, you can build and edit the full plan on an iPhone or iPad, not just look at it. One purchase covers Mac, iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro.

It also works without a connection by design: the iOS app stores files on the device by default, with optional iCloud Drive sync, so a plan is available on a plane or a site with no signal. Pro adds Monte Carlo estimation for schedule risk, Microsoft Project export and server based collaboration. Ratings are thin because it is a niche, paid app: 3.9 on the App Store from 20 ratings, and it was updated this year.

What it can’t do: run on Android or the web, and linked files are not supported on iPhone and iPad.

Limitation: it is a single planner’s tool unless you buy Pro for team collaboration.

Pricing: Standard $199.99 or Pro $399.99 one time, or $199.99 per year including Pro; 14 day trial; 30 day money back guarantee.

16. Scoro

Key features:

• Projects, tasks and calendar
• Separate Scoro Time app
• Offline timers and entries
• Quote to cash

Scoro combines projects, resources, time and billing for professional services firms such as agencies and consultancies. It has two mobile apps. The main Scoro app covers calendar, tasks, projects and contacts and opens a mobile version of the web app for everything else; its ratings are weak, at 2.7 on the App Store from 10 ratings and 3.2 on Google Play, and the iOS version was last updated in 2025.

The newer Scoro Time app is the better reason to use Scoro on a phone. It focuses on timers, with an iOS live activity and the option to take over a timer started on desktop, and it caches manual timesheet entries, running timers and task status changes while you are offline, then syncs them automatically. It is free for any active Scoro user and rated 4.8 on Google Play, though from a small number of installs so far.

What it can’t do: Scoro Time cannot create tasks, show comments or manage calendar events.

Limitation: every plan has a 5 user minimum.

Pricing: from $17 per user per month, 5 user minimum; 14 day trial.

17. Motion

Key features:

• AI scheduling of tasks
• Siri task creation
• iOS home screen widget
• Booking links

Motion is for individuals and small teams whose problem is fitting work into the week: it uses AI to place tasks and projects in your calendar around meetings. In the iOS and Android apps you can add, edit and complete tasks and events, add attachments, create tasks with Siri, check a home screen widget, and use search, projects and booking tabs.

Motion is unusually candid about its mobile app: its own help center says the app is quite a bit behind desktop. The Gantt chart, workflow templates, saved views and bulk editing are desktop only, so the phone is for capturing and completing tasks rather than planning. Ratings reflect that: 4.1 on the App Store from about 1,900 ratings and 3.8 on Google Play from about 1,500 reviews, and both apps were last updated in late 2025.

What it can’t do: Gantt charts, templates, saved views and bulk edits on mobile.

Limitation: there is no free plan, and offline use is not documented.

Pricing: Pro AI $19, Business AI $29 per seat per month billed annually ($29 and $49 monthly).

18. Process Street

Key features:

• Run workflows on mobile
• Task and approval completion
• Reports and Library
• Push notifications

Process Street is built for recurring processes such as onboarding, audits and approvals rather than one off projects, so it fits operations and compliance teams that run the same checklist many times. Its iOS and Android apps, which also run on iPad and Android tablets, let you create, edit and run workflows, complete tasks and approvals, view reports and browse the Library.

The mobile apps are a side channel rather than a focus. The iOS app was last updated in 2023 and the Android app in 2025, and both have small rating samples: 4.5 on the App Store from 26 ratings and 5.0 on Google Play from 13 reviews. The vendor says plainly that the apps work online only. That makes Process Street a good choice for people who approve or complete steps on the go with a connection, and a poor one for field work without signal.

What it can’t do: anything offline, according to the vendor.

Limitation: prices are not published, so you have to contact sales to compare it.

Pricing: on request; 14 day Pro trial.

19. Casual.PM

Key features:

• Project overview on mobile
• Tasks, notes and files
• Task editing and comments
• Flat pricing

Casual.PM is a small, flat priced project management tool for teams of 2 to 50 people who want a simple setup and a predictable bill. Its iPhone, iPad and Android apps let you check on projects, view tasks, notes, history and files, edit tasks and leave comments, which covers the basics of keeping a small project moving from the phone.

The mobile apps have not kept pace, though. The iOS version dates from 2023 and has too few ratings to show a score, and the Android app was also last updated in 2023, with a 2.7 rating from 33 reviews. If mobile access is a deciding factor, that is a reason to look elsewhere; if your team works mostly on desktop and wants low flat pricing, the apps are enough for checking in. You need an existing account to sign in on mobile, so set the team up on the web first.

What it can’t do: documented offline work, and the apps are rarely updated.

Limitation: there is no free plan, and accounts become read only when the trial ends.

Pricing: Personal $10 per month for 2 users, Starter $25 for 5 users, Team $50 for 10 users, billed annually; 14 day trial.

Offline mode: what vendors actually document

Almost every app on this list looks capable on a phone with good signal. The difference shows up without one. Across the 19 apps:

• 9 document some offline support (monday.com, ClickUp, Wrike, Trello, Zoho Projects, Smartsheet, Redbooth, OmniPlan and Scoro Time), but only a few let you both create and edit work offline.
• 2 say plainly they have no offline mode: Jira and Process Street.
• 8 do not document offline use at all, so assume you need a connection.

Even documented offline modes come with conditions. Wrike and ClickUp only work with items you opened recently, Zoho Projects only covers time logs, Smartsheet only covers forms, and monday.com’s iOS app can only change column values. If offline matters to you, test the app in airplane mode on your own device before you roll it out.

Where mobile project management falls short

Phones are good at updates and bad at planning. These are the gaps teams run into most often:

• Planning still happens on desktop. Gantt charts, workflow templates and automations are desktop only in several apps, including Backlog, Motion and Smartsheet. Plan the project at a desk and use the phone to keep it moving.
• Offline edits can overwrite colleagues. monday.com documents that an offline change replaces a conflicting change made by someone else, so agree who owns which items before people work offline.
• Notifications drown the signal. Turn off notifications for boards you only watch, or people stop reading them.
• Hours get reconstructed later. If people only log time on the web, they fill in Friday from memory. Logging on the phone right after the task keeps timesheets accurate, which is why time tracking matters in a mobile app. Our list of mobile timesheet apps covers that side in more detail.
• The free plan doesn’t include what you tested. Some apps put mobile apps or offline features on paid tiers only, so check plan details before inviting the team.

Which mobile project management app to pick

If you skipped to the end, these are the picks we would make for the most common situations:

• Crews that work without signal: Wrike, because it can create and edit work offline on every plan; test Trello’s offline mode as a simpler, cheaper alternative.
• Agencies and consultancies that bill by the hour: actiTIME, because hours logged on the phone feed project cost, billing and budgets directly; Teamwork.com if you want task management and billing in one tool and can live with its weaker app.
• Software teams: Jira, whose app can actually run a sprint, as long as everyone has a connection.
• Planning a full schedule on an iPad: OmniPlan, the only app here that edits Gantt charts properly on a tablet.
• Operations and field data collection: Smartsheet, for barcode search and offline forms.
• Small teams on a free plan: Jira or Trello for up to 10 people, Zoho Projects for 5 users and 3 projects.
• Teams that want the best rated app: Smartsheet and monday.com, both 4.6 or higher on both stores from tens of thousands of ratings.

Frequently asked questions

Can you manage projects offline on a mobile app?

Partly. Wrike, ClickUp and monday.com’s Android app let you create or edit some work offline and sync it later, and Trello’s mobile apps support offline editing of boards and cards. Most offline modes only cover items you opened while connected, and Jira and Process Street have no offline mode at all.

Are mobile project management apps as powerful as the desktop versions?

No, and most vendors say so. Motion’s help center calls its app quite a bit behind desktop, Backlog keeps Gantt and burndown charts on desktop, and Smartsheet automations have to be built in a browser. Jira and Wrike come closest, letting you edit sprints, approve work and manage timesheets from the phone. Plan projects at a desk and use the mobile app to keep them current.

What is the best project management app for iPad and Mac?

OmniPlan is the strongest choice if you want to build full schedules on an iPad, since one purchase covers Mac, iPhone and iPad and you can edit Gantt charts on all of them. Basecamp and Nifty both have native Mac apps alongside their mobile apps if you prefer a simpler, collaborative tool.

Which mobile project management app has the best free plan?

Jira’s free plan covers up to 10 users and Trello’s up to 10 collaborators, both with mobile apps included. Zoho Projects allows 5 users and 3 projects, and ClickUp has unlimited members but only 60 MB of storage. For more options, see our list of free project management software.

Conclusion

Pick a project management mobile app for the work you do away from your desk. If that is mostly updates and approvals, monday.com, Wrike or Jira will serve you well. If you need to build full schedules on an iPad, OmniPlan is the only app here that really does it. If you work without signal, start with Wrike or Trello and test offline mode yourself. And if what you need on the phone is to log hours and keep timesheets accurate, choose an app that treats time tracking as a core feature.
