Mobile Experience
Touch gestures, bottom sheets, and the Nexus Dock — Neural Garden on phones and tablets.
Touch navigation
On mobile, tap and drag the background to pan. Pinch to zoom in and out. Double-tap empty space to create a new thought. Tap a node to select it, then tap again to open its editor in the bottom sheet.
Bottom sheet editor
On mobile, the thought editor appears as an iOS-style bottom sheet that slides up from the bottom. You can drag it to different snap points — peek, half, and full screen. Swipe down to close. The sheet stays open as you interact with the canvas, so you can pan and select other nodes without losing your editing context.
Long-press interactions
Long-press is the mobile equivalent of right-click. A quick long-press (200ms) enables drag-to-select mode for box selection. A longer hold (600ms) opens the context menu with actions like edit, delete, nest, and connect.
Nexus Dock
The Nexus Dock is a bottom bar on mobile that gives quick access to search and your most-used thoughts. Tap the search orb to open search, or swipe through the suggested node icons to jump to important thoughts. The dock smoothly animates between dock mode and expanded chat mode.
Apple Pencil support
Neural Garden recognizes Apple Pencil input on iPad. Double-tap with the Pencil to create a new thought. Long-press with the Pencil to open context menus. The app distinguishes between finger and pencil input for a natural experience.
