Introducing Quire iPad App

Last updated: July 22, 2026

We are more than excited to announce the release of our highly anticipated iPad native app! Our team has been working hard to redesign and refine the functionality that you already love with the web browser version and the simplicity of the iPhone app.

Tablets are real work machines now. Statista reports that mobile devices generate the majority of the world's web traffic, so a native iPad app earns its place.

What's different about Quire on the iPad?

We both know how much you love the Quire Mobile 5.0 major redesign, but for the tablet’s larger screen, you might think the mobile interface design is not optimized yet. This is the reason why we have spent time to improve the existing mobile app and bring the detail panel back side-by-side with the task list.

With the detail panel now shown next to the task list, ready when you need it, you can work on the task’s details while still in context with the full task list.

What can you do with the Quire iPad app?

With the native iPad app, Quire is perfect for you from taking quick notes during meetings to planning ahead for a product launch campaign. Because Quire can work 100% offline, you can keep managing tasks and projects on your iPad even without a connection, and your changes sync once you reconnect.

With a larger screen, you can toggle on the Advanced mode (pressing ⌥ with keyboard or shaking the iPad) to view more details in your task list.

The new iPad app also has the bulk edit/delete option enabled as you long-press on a task to activate the multiple selection checkbox.

Also, this version will support the magic keyboard. Enjoy the smart shortcuts while using Quire!

When it first launched, the iPad app focused on Tree view and Board view. Quire's mobile apps have added more views since then, including Timeline, so open the app to see the current set, and switch to the browser version any time you want the full desktop experience.

Note: This iPad app version also works with Macbook M1. If you don’t use a Macbook M1 and would like to have a desktop app, please follow the instructions on this blog post.

That’s all we would like to share with you for our latest update! We hope you will have a lot of fun using Quire on iPad! Let us know what you think by tweeting us at @quire_io or send us an email at feedback@quire.io!

What makes the iPad app worth it?

The iPad app uses the bigger screen instead of just stretching the phone one.

None of this is a stretched-up phone screen. The iPad build uses the extra space the way you'd actually want it to, so the tablet becomes a place you plan in, not just a place you check on.
