# iPhone/iPad App

Plan, search, edit rich task notes, run timers, and use Ellie on iPhone and iPad.

Ellie for iPhone and iPad lets you manage lists, search tasks, edit rich notes, use templates, run timers, and timebox your day away from the desktop. On iPad, week view gives you a full weekly planning layout designed for the larger screen.

On iPhone, you can keep your weekly plan close at hand and update tasks wherever you are.

## Search tasks

Select the magnifying glass at the top of Home, then type what you remember. Search on iPhone and iPad can match task titles, notes, and subtasks. See [Search](/features/search.md) for the full guide.

## Write rich task notes

Task and template notes support bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, links, and bulleted or numbered lists. The formatting toolbar remains directly above the keyboard while you write.
