Your members live on their phones between desktop sessions. A community that feels great on mobile keeps people engaged in the small gaps of their day — checking the feed, replying to a message, or joining an event on the go. Here's how MateFlow delivers a mobile experience under your brand, and how to tune it.
Installable, app-like today
Members can add your community to their phone's home screen right now and get a fast, app-like experience — feed, messages, events, and push notifications — all wrapped in your branding. This installable (PWA) experience needs no app store download and is available immediately.
Set your mobile app icon
The icon members see when they install your community is yours to set. In your admin, go to Appearance → Mobile and use Mobile App Icon to upload your logo.
- Recommended size: 512×512px (a 1:1 square).
- Format: PNG.
- Used for the installed home-screen icon and mobile bookmarks.
The same screen includes a Mobile Theme Override toggle and mobile optimization tips — keep images light, use responsive layouts, and test on a few real devices.
Control the mobile (App) theme
By default your mobile experience follows your site theme automatically, so it stays on-brand with no extra work. When you want finer control, the App Theme (Mobile) editor lets you override colors specifically for mobile.
- Light and dark modes are edited separately, each with its own color set.
- Colors are grouped by Brand, Surfaces, Overlay & Borders, and States — set an accent, backgrounds, borders, and danger/success tones.
- Use Derive from web to auto-fill a starting draft from your current website theme, then adjust.
- Only the keys you set are overridden; everything else falls back to the app default. A Configured or Auto-derived badge shows the current state, and Clear override returns the app to following your site theme.
Note: you need a published site theme before you can configure the mobile theme, since the App builds on it.
What's coming next
Native iOS and Android apps are in active development and will be fully brandable — your logo, your name, your notifications. The installable home-screen experience bridges the gap until they ship, so there's no reason to wait to give members a great mobile home.
