Many computing tasks, such as comparison shopping, two-factor authentication, and checking movie reviews, require using multiple apps together. On large screens, "windows, icons, menus, pointer" (WIMP) graphical user interfaces (GUIs) support easy sharing of content and context between multiple apps. So, it is straightforward to see the content from one application and write something relevant in another application, such as looking at the map around a place and typing walking instructions into an email. However, although today's smartphones also use GUIs, they have small screens and limited windowing support, making it hard to switch contexts and exchange data between apps.
