The Senti mobile app
Purpose
Senti ships a native mobile app (built with Expo, currently distributed for iOS via TestFlight) that mirrors the core of the web platform: monitoring your dashboard, linking and inspecting MT5 accounts, deploying and editing strategies, reviewing performance, and managing your profile, security, and subscription — plus a biometric app lock. This page is an overview: it maps each mobile screen to the web feature it mirrors, so you can use the rest of this manual as the reference for behaviour. Where mobile behaves the same as web, the web page is the source of truth.
Prerequisites
- A Senti account — the mobile app signs in with the same email and password as the web app. See Create your account.
- An iOS device with TestFlight access to the Senti build (distribution is currently via TestFlight; ask the Senti team for an invite if you don’t have one).
- For the biometric app lock: Face ID / Touch ID (or fingerprint) hardware with at least one biometric enrolled on the device.
Step-by-step
Sign in
- Open the app and sign in with your Senti email and password. The auth flow has Login, Sign up, and Forgot password screens — the same account rules as the web (see Create your account).
- Use the web→mobile handoff (optional). The web app includes a mobile
handoff route (
/mobile-handoff) that bridges a signed-in web session to the mobile app, so you don’t have to retype credentials on the phone.
Get around the app
- Use the bottom tabs. The app has five tabs:
- Dashboard — your at-a-glance home screen; mirrors the web dashboard.
- Accounts — your linked MT5 accounts, with a link account flow and a per-account detail screen. Web reference: MT5 accounts.
- Strategies — browse strategies, open a strategy’s detail, and run the deploy, preset, and edit flows for your active deployments. Web reference: Strategies and Deploy & monitor.
- Performance — performance reporting for your accounts and deployments.
- Profile — your account, plus the entry point into Settings.
- Open notifications from the dedicated notifications screen to review alerts in the app.
Manage settings on mobile
- Open Settings from the Profile tab. Settings screens mirror the web:
- Personal information — the same profile fields as the web Profile page.
- Security — security options for the app, including the biometric app-lock opt-in (below).
- Subscription and Change plan — view your plan and switch plans; web reference: Plans & billing.
- Turn on the biometric app lock (optional). In Settings → Security, opt in to biometric re-authentication. The app then uses Face ID / Touch ID (via the device’s native prompt) instead of your password when it needs to re-verify you. The opt-in is stored per install, in the device’s secure storage, and is cleared when you log out.
Note. Senti’s interface is English only, on web and on mobile. An earlier build shipped a language switcher; it is no longer part of the app.
Warnings & constraints
- The mobile app is a companion, not a replacement. Some flows — API keys, backtesting, file uploads, and account deletion — are documented for the web app; use the web for anything you can’t find on mobile.
- Biometric lock requires enrolled biometrics. If the device has no biometric hardware or nothing enrolled, the opt-in isn’t available; if the OS denies or locks out biometrics, the app falls back to asking for your password.
- Logging out of the mobile app clears the biometric opt-in along with the session — you’ll re-enable it after your next sign-in.
- Admin features are web-only and out of scope for this manual.
Common errors
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Can’t sign in on mobile | Wrong credentials, or email not yet verified | Use Forgot password, or verify your email first — same rules as the web |
| Biometric toggle missing or greyed out | No biometric hardware, or none enrolled on the device | Enrol Face ID / Touch ID (or a fingerprint) in the device settings |
| Biometric prompt fails repeatedly | OS-level lockout or denied biometric permission for the app | Unlock with the device passcode, check the app’s Face ID permission, or use your Senti password |
| Biometric lock off after signing back in | Logout clears the per-install opt-in | Re-enable it in Settings → Security |
| A web feature is missing on mobile | Not every web flow ships in the app | Use the web app; this manual’s other sections document the web behaviour |
