Touch controls and a mobile workspace

Focus one workspace group at a time, see every open panel in an overview, and navigate the table with touch.

Aether v0.32.0 makes Play work on phones and other narrow screens. One panel group stays in focus while the workspace overview gives you access to everything else you have open.

See and arrange your whole workspace

Open the workspace overview to see your groups and the panels inside them. Tap a panel to open it and return to Play.

From the overview, you can close or reorder panels, move them between groups, or start a new group. The same actions are available from menus, so you don’t need to drag precisely on a touch screen.

It’s the same workspace you use on desktop. Your groups and panel arrangement follow your account in that world, and changing screen size or rotating your phone doesn’t reorganize them.

Drag on empty table space to move the camera and pinch to zoom. You can select and move a token you control without accidentally moving the camera, and open its character directly from the touch controls.

On smaller screens, navigation keeps the current group, panel actions and workspace overview easy to reach. Dice also stay inside the visible area, including when using a phone in landscape.

This release brings the main Play experience and workspace controls to touch devices. GM scene editing on phones, offline PWA support and a native mobile app are not part of this release.
