Companion

The Companion is the asambl mobile app for iPhone. It is a native iOS app that loads your asambl calendar in an in-app browser view, and the same experience is reachable at calendar.asambl.app if you want to use it from a phone browser. It gives you your week on the go and mirrors the plan you build on the desktop, so the agenda you see on your phone matches the one you assembled at your machine. It needs your desktop app running to reach your vault, connecting through a secure relay so your phone and desktop stay in step.

The Companion is an iPhone app; an Android version is not available yet.

The Companion is part of asambl and available to everyone in the beta, at no additional cost.

Agenda

The agenda is your day and week at a glance. Items are grouped by day, and each one carries a life-area colour accent so you can read your week by area without opening anything. It is the fast answer to "what is on today" when you do not have your desktop in front of you.

Capture

Capture is for the thought that lands while you are away from your desk, before it evaporates. From the capture sheet you can add:

• A Note: a thought, a fragment, something to keep.
• A Todo: a task to act on later.
• A Reminder: something you want surfaced at the right moment.
• A Voice note: speak it when typing is not practical.
• A Barcode: scan a product to log it against a meal.

The Companion is organised into four tabs: Day and Week show your agenda, Train logs workouts, and Meals logs food and weight. Those two are covered in the sections below.

You can also send things to asambl from other apps. From Safari or Notes, use the iOS share sheet to hand a link or a snippet straight to the Companion, and it lands with your other captures.

The point is speed. You open the Companion, capture the thing, and get on with your day. Captures are end-to-end encrypted: your phone seals each one to your desktop before it leaves the device, and the relay that carries it only ever holds the encrypted version, never the plain text. If you are offline, captures queue on the phone and send themselves once you reconnect, so nothing is lost.

When you are next at your desktop, the notes, todos, and reminders you captured here arrive in your Inbox to triage. They are separate from the desktop side rail's own Tasks and Reminders, which you author directly. You can see the notes, todos, and reminders you have captured on the phone in one place, so nothing is lost between you and your desktop until it reaches your Inbox.

Train

The Train tab is a workout logger built for the gym. Record each set with reps, load, effort, and how your energy felt. Entries flow back to the Health area on your desktop, so your training history and your fitness plan stay in one place.

Meals

The Meals tab is a fast food log for when you are out. Scan a product barcode and asambl looks it up so you do not have to type the details, or add a meal by hand. Record a weight check-in here too. What you log syncs back to the Health area on your desktop, where the full meals table, macro estimates, and daily tally live.

How it stays in sync

The Companion is deliberately read-heavy for your week and write-light for what you capture. Your desktop is the source of truth: it holds your vault and builds your plan. asambl-tagged events you create on the desktop appear in the Companion agenda, filtered by life area, so you are always looking at the same week you assembled at your machine. What you add on the phone, your captures, workouts, and meals, travels back to the desktop over the encrypted relay while your desktop is running. The phone is a fast window onto your plan and an inbox for the things you catch on the go, not a separate copy you maintain.

What it costs

Nothing extra. The Companion is part of asambl and available to everyone in the beta, at no additional cost.
