How do I install the site as an app?
You can install the site on your phone or computer as a web app. It will open in its own window, without the address bar and browser tabs. There is nothing to download or update: inside is the same site, with all its languages and translations.
The install button is at the very bottom of the page, in the footer.
- Scroll down the page to the footer.
- Press “Web app”.
- Follow the hint: on iPhone and iPad, tap “Share” and choose “Add to Home Screen”; on a Mac in Safari, choose “File” → “Add to Dock”. In Chrome and Edge, the browser opens the install window by itself.
Done: now the site opens like any other app. On a phone the web app appears on the Home Screen, on a Mac in the Dock.
The button appears only when installation is possible. Most often it is missing for one of two reasons.
- The browser does not offer installation. Open the site in Chrome, Edge or Safari. On iPhone and iPad the button is only in Safari, and on a Mac you need Safari 17 or later.
- The site is already installed. In Chrome and Edge the button goes away after installation, and inside the web app itself there is no button. In Safari the button stays after installation: you do not need to install it a second time.
No. Pages are not saved on the device, so without the internet the installed site will not open and you cannot read in it. The web app only opens the site in a separate window.
The same way as any other app on this device: on a phone, press and hold the web app and choose to remove it; on a computer, remove it like an ordinary program. The site itself does not go anywhere: you can always open it in the browser.
