Connect to MATLAB remotely from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

The MATLAB Mobile app provides a lightweight MATLAB desktop on your iOS device that remotely accesses MATLAB running on the MathWorks Cloud or on your computer. To use MATLAB Mobile, you need to:

• Download the MATLAB Mobile app from the App Store.
• Either connect to the cloud or connect to your computer.

You can download the app and the connector and watch the video about MATLAB Mobile features on mathworks.com/mobile.

Anyone who has a MathWorks Account that is associated with one of the following licenses:

• Professional or academic MATLAB license with up-to-date Software Maintenance Services for R2010a, or later
• MATLAB and Simulink Student Version R2010a, or later

Yes. Starting with version 3.0, the MATLAB Mobile UI is optimized for all iOS devices.

MATLAB Mobile provides access to a MATLAB session running remotely on MathWorks Cloud or your computer—MATLAB is not running natively on your mobile device. To use MATLAB Mobile to connect to your computer, your device needs to be on the same network as your computer running MATLAB. MATLAB Mobile and the MATLAB Connector are intended for use behind a firewall on a private network. Virtual Private Network (VPN) use is recommended when used over the public internet or via 3G.

MATLAB Mobile Version does not support:

• Tools that use graphical user interfaces, such as the SPTool, Curve Fitting Tool, and the Simulink graphical environment.
• An Editor for creating or editing files.
• Interactive figures. Although you can zoom, pan, and add data tips, the figures do not support rotating and other figure callbacks.
• Retrieval of more than ten graphics from the desktop in a single command.
• The doc command. To view function documentation, use the help command. Alternatively, open the Web browser on your device and navigate to the product documentation at mathworks.com/support.

When connecting to your desktop, MATLAB Mobile provides command-line access to all the products that you are licensed to use on your computer. If you are licensed to use Simulink on your computer, you can run the sim command from the MATLAB Mobile command line. The Simulink graphical environment is not supported.

When connecting to the cloud, MATLAB Mobile provides command-line access to MATLAB only.

See MATLAB Mobile documentation for more complete information:

• The app sends all commands to a remote MATLAB session for evaluation. Your device does not perform any calculations or store any workspace variables locally.
• The MATLAB Mobile application does not include a Workspace Browser. The app uses the workspace of your MATLAB desktop session. To see the list of variables available in your remote session, use the whos command. When connecting to your desktop, you can also access any data files or run any program files that are on the MATLAB path on your computer.
• All figure generation happens in the MATLAB session, not on your device. For most cases, the static snapshots of all updated figure windows are sent to your device. See the documentation for exceptions.
• You can execute functions and scripts by calling them as you would from your desktop.
• To get help on functions, use the help command. For help on the app, go to the Settings screen, and tap About > View Documentation.

With a figure displayed in MATLAB Mobile, tap and hold until a cross hair appears. Release your finger at the desired location and wait for the data tip to be displayed. Data tips only work with figures and not snapshots.

When figures are no longer open on your computer or the cloud, their thumbnails have a blue camera icon. These figures are stored as static snapshots on your device. To see the figures with more detail, rerun the plotting commands.

The MathWorks Cloud is a service that provides access to a MATLAB session on the Web. When using MATLAB Mobile to connect to the MathWorks Cloud, you execute MATLAB functions in that MATLAB session.

Access to MathWorks Cloud is offered only through MATLAB Mobile. See Getting started: Connect to MathWorks Cloud to start using MATLAB Mobile today.

Licensed MATLAB users who have up-to-date MathWorks Software Maintenance Service can access this service through MATLAB Mobile at no additional cost.

No. File storage is not offered with MathWorks Cloud. You can use MATLAB Mobile to connect to your computer and use your files.

Only MATLAB is available on the MathWorks Cloud. Other MathWorks products are not available at this time.
