Installing the app on Android or iPhone

You can add the app to your phone or desktop so it opens in a standalone window instead of a regular browser tab. The exact steps vary by browser and operating system, so this guide covers the common paths.

Android

1. 1

   Open the app in Chrome, Edge, or another supported browser

   Stay on the live app page you want to install from, usually Settings or Today.

2. 2

   Look for Install app or Add to Home screen

   Some browsers show an install icon in the address bar. Others place the action in the main browser menu.

3. 3

   Confirm the browser prompt

   Approve the install so the app is added to your launcher or home screen.

iPhone and iPad

1. 1

   Open the app in Safari

   Apple only supports Add to Home Screen from Safari, not from most in-app browsers or embedded web views.

2. 2

   Tap the Share button

   Use the square-with-arrow Share button in Safari’s toolbar.

3. 3

   Choose Add to Home Screen

   Scroll the share sheet if needed, then review the label and tap Add.

What to expect after install

• The app opens without the normal browser tab bar when the browser supports standalone mode.
• You still need a network connection for live account data unless the browser already has a safe cached copy of public assets.
• The installed label and icon are taken from the manifest at install time, so some browsers require removing and reinstalling the app before later branding changes appear.

Discreet mode and install labels

If discreet mode is enabled before installation, browsers that honor the alternate manifest may show the installed app with the label "Daily Tasks". Some browsers cache the first installed label and icon aggressively, so the safest way to update the home-screen appearance is to remove the installed app and install it again after changing discreet mode.

If the install prompt never appears

• Make sure you are using a supported browser, especially Safari on iPhone and Chrome or Edge on Android.
• Refresh the page after a deploy so the latest manifest and service worker are loaded.
• If you previously dismissed the prompt, give the browser time or use the manual menu path instead of waiting for the banner to reappear.
• If the wrong icon or app name keeps showing, remove the installed app and install it again so the browser fetches the current manifest metadata.
