Desktop vs phone — what to do where

LiveSlates was built for the desktop — a full live war-room where you compose exactly the dashboard you want and watch the whole slate at once. It's also a genuinely slick live companion on your phone. One account, both screens — here's what each does best.

Desktop — the full war-room

This is where LiveSlates is at its best. The big screen fits the whole slate at once — your lineups, the leaders, the optimal, exposure and the play-by-play — arranged exactly how you read a slate:

• Build your own dashboard. Drag panels, add KPIs, tune a layout per sport. Nothing's fixed — it's your command center, and you can run a different board for each sport.
• See everything at a glance. A whole board's worth of live data on one screen — scores, your players, the optimal, the wire — no tab-hopping, no scrolling to find the number you want.
• Import in bulk & run many entries. CSV / Excel or the FanTeam bookmarklet, plus exposure and rank-by-rank tracking across every lineup at once.

Why desktop: a live war-room wants room to breathe — a big canvas, a mouse to arrange it, and every number in view at the same time. That's the experience LiveSlates was designed around. (The bulk-import tools only work here — see the note at the bottom.)

Phone — the live companion

Your phone is a genuinely great live second screen for when the games are running — the same tracker, cut down to what matters in the moment:

• Watch it live — your lineups, the leaders, live scoring and the play-by-play wire, all updating in real time.
• Quick actions in the moment — build a lineup by hand, check a result, switch slate.

Why phone: it's the screen that's with you on the couch or out and about. The layout is touch-first and focused — one thing per tab — so the live action reads clean on a small screen. Think of it as the war-room in your pocket, not a stripped-down version.

It's the same account, synced

You never set anything up twice. Build a lineup or a dashboard on desktop and it's on your phone automatically — and anything you add on your phone shows up on desktop. One login, both screens.
