# TakeProfit on your phone

> How the mobile platform works: what it is built for, what changes on a touch screen, and how alerts and your phone fit together.

TakeProfit runs in a mobile browser — no separate app to install. Open the platform on your phone and your
workspaces, charts, watchlists and alerts are the ones you left on the desktop.

## What it is for

The mobile platform is built as a **second screen**, not as a replacement for your desk. It answers the questions
that come up when you are away from it:

* An alert fired — what actually happened?
* Where is price relative to the level I marked this morning?
* Is my analysis still valid, or has the setup broken?

Your setup is the same one you built on the desktop, because it is the same account and the same workspaces. What
changes is the interaction model, not the data.

<Note>
  For long analysis sessions — building a multi-widget layout, writing an indicator in the IDE, running a backtest —
  the desktop remains the place to work. The phone is for staying in control between those sessions.
</Note>

## The alert loop

The most common mobile scenario runs end to end without you opening a laptop:

<Steps>
  <Step title="The alert is created once, anywhere">
    Set it up on the desktop or on the phone — [alerts](/docs/guide/alerts/Alerts-overview) run in the cloud, so they
    keep watching with every tab closed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="It reaches you where you are">
    Delivery goes to the platform itself, to [Telegram](/docs/guide/alerts/Telegram-alerts), or through a
    [webhook](/docs/guide/alerts/Webhook-notifications) to Discord or any endpoint of your own.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You check the chart from the header">
    The mobile header gives direct access to your alerts: review and manage the ones that triggered and open the
    alert log without opening a workspace first. See [Navigation](/docs/guide/getting-started/Navigation).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What changes on a touch screen

### Drawing

Drawing tools do not simply mimic mouse behaviour. A virtual **touchpad** appears over the chart so your finger
never covers the point you are placing: move to steer the cursor, tap to place a point, long-tap to cancel, double-tap
to finish. Existing drawings get a larger selection radius, and you can either drag a point immediately or long-tap
it for precise editing.

### Navigation

The mobile header keeps the same sections as the desktop one and adds the alert shortcut described above. The header
is still being refined between releases, so individual items may move.

## Good to know

* **Same account, same data.** Workspaces, watchlists, alerts and indicators are shared — there is nothing to sync
  manually.
* **No installation.** The platform runs in the mobile browser; add it to your home screen if you want it one tap
  away.
* **Security.** [Two-factor authentication](/docs/guide/getting-started/mfa) works on mobile, including scanning the QR
  code and entering codes on the phone itself.
