Swiping a mobile pop-up away (flick down to close)

What it is

What it does

On a phone, when something pops up and covers most of the screen — the account panel (the menu behind the account button in the mobile header, with your accounts and usage bars), or one of Omniscio's bottom sheets (the project picker, filter and options sheets) — you can now flick it downward to close it.

Before, those closed only by tapping the thin strip outside them, an X, or a close key (phones have no Escape key). Now a downward swipe closes them, the way phones normally dismiss a sheet. Tapping outside and the close buttons still work — the swipe is an extra way to close, never a replacement.

Where to find it

On a phone, on anything that pops up over the screen: the account panel behind the mobile header's account button, and the app's shared bottom sheets (the project picker, filter and option sheets). There is no setting to find — the gesture is simply there.

How it behaves

How to use it

• Put a finger on the pop-up and flick down, and it closes.
• Every dismissable pop-up now has a small grab handle at its top (the little pill). Flick that handle down and it closes straight away, however far you've scrolled the list.
• If instead you flick down on the list itself while scrolled into it, the drag first scrolls back to the top — keep pulling once you're at the top and it closes. (Use the grab handle to skip that.)
• A short nudge or a slow drag won't close it — it takes a real downward flick (or a clear, far-enough pull), so you won't dismiss things by accident.
• A two-finger pinch (zoom) never closes it.

When it applies

• Mobile only — a narrow, touch screen. The desktop app is completely unaffected.
• It's on for the account panel and Omniscio's shared bottom sheets. It is deliberately not on the full-screen Quick scratchpad, so a stray swipe can't throw away what you're typing — close that with its X.

There's no setting to turn this on or off; the swipe just works alongside the existing close buttons.

• For engineers: the gesture and its invariants are locked in the mobile-swipe-dismiss-contract (in .claude/memory/contracts/); any new screen-covering mobile overlay reuses the useSwipeToDismiss hook rather than wiring its own touch handlers.
