Your site works as an app. You add it to your phone’s home screen, your PC’s Start menu or your Mac’s Dock, and it opens in its own window like any other app. There is no app store and no developer account, and the app costs nothing extra.

Anyone who uses your site can install it: you, your team and your customers. Each person installs it on their own device.

Look for Install App #

Open your site and look for Install App. On your customers’ pages, your team’s panel and your admin panel it is in the user menu or at the foot of the page. Tap it, and your site shows the steps for the device you are on.

Android phone or tablet (Chrome) #

  1. Open your site in Chrome and tap Install App.
  2. Tap Install.

The app appears on your home screen and in your app list.

iPhone or iPad (Safari) #

iPhone has no install button of its own, so Install App shows these steps:

  1. Open your site in Safari.
  2. Tap Share (the square with the arrow pointing up).
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add.

The app appears on your home screen. Open it from there.

Windows PC (Chrome or Edge) #

  1. Open your site in Chrome or Edge and click Install App. You can also use the install icon at the right end of the address bar.
  2. Click Install.

The app opens in its own window and is added to your Start menu. You can pin it to the taskbar.

Mac (Safari) #

  1. Open your site in Safari.
  2. Choose File → Add to Dock, then click Add.

The app appears in your Dock and opens in its own window. In Chrome on a Mac, use Install App or the install icon in the address bar.

Notifications #

The app can tell you when there is something new for you. When it asks, choose Allow.

  • iPhone and iPad: notifications need iOS or iPadOS 16.4 or later, and they work only in the app you added to your home screen, not in Safari. Open the app from your home screen and allow them there.
  • To turn them off: use your device’s notification settings for the app, or your browser’s settings for your site.

A notification never shows payment or other sensitive details. Open the app and sign in to see everything.

Good to know #

  • Signing in: sign in once inside the app.
  • Updates: the app always opens your site as it is now. There is nothing to update on your device.
  • Internet: the app needs an internet connection, like your site.
  • Removing it: remove it as you remove any other app.
  • Store apps: this app is not in Google Play or the App Store. If you also want your own app in the stores, see Android and iOS app setups (Hosted Plan), or Android and iOS App Deployment on your product’s page (Buy & Own). These are optional one-time services, published in your own developer accounts.
