The tabs, the + button, the Inbox and the account menu, on phone and desktop.

Checked against the app November 5, 2026

Maitaki has four main places, plus a button for adding things and an account menu. On a phone they sit along the bottom and top of the screen. On a computer they’re in a sidebar on the left.

On a phone

Along the bottom:

TabWhat’s there

Along the top:

  • On the left, the name of the screen you’re on. On a screen you’ve tapped into, it has a back arrow. Tap it to go back.
  • On the right, a pill with your location and your avatar. Tap it to open the account menu.
