Install StudyFlow as an App

Get the full app experience on your phone, tablet or desktop — no app store required.

StudyFlow is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — a modern web technology that lets you install any website as a native-feeling app. Once installed, StudyFlow launches from your home screen or dock, runs in its own window (no browser tabs), and loads instantly. No app store, no updates, no storage worries.

📱

What is a PWA?

A Progressive Web App is a website that can be installed on your device like a native app. It combines the best of both worlds:

App-like experience

Opens in its own window without browser chrome (no address bar, no tabs). Feels like a native app.

🚀

Instant launch

Tap the icon on your home screen or taskbar and StudyFlow opens immediately — no need to navigate to a URL.

🔄

Always up to date

Unlike App Store apps, PWAs update automatically in the background. You always have the latest version.

💾

Minimal storage

PWAs are lightweight — typically under 5 MB. They don't consume significant storage on your device.

Install on iPhone or iPad (Safari)

  1. 1

    Open Safari

    Navigate to app.studyflow.courses in Safari. Important: this only works in Safari — not Chrome or Firefox on iOS.

  2. 2

    Tap the Share button

    Tap the share icon at the bottom of the screen (the square with an upward arrow).

  3. 3

    Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"

    You may need to scroll down in the share sheet to find this option.

  4. 4

    Tap "Add"

    Optionally rename the app. Then tap "Add" in the top-right corner. The StudyFlow icon will appear on your home screen.

iOS tip: On iPad, the app icon can also be dragged to the Dock for quick access, just like any native app.
🤖

Install on Android (Chrome)

  1. 1

    Open Chrome

    Navigate to app.studyflow.courses in Google Chrome.

  2. 2

    Tap the install banner or menu

    Chrome may show an "Install app" banner at the bottom. If not, tap the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top-right corner.

  3. 3

    Tap "Install app" or "Add to Home screen"

    The wording varies by Android version. Both options do the same thing.

  4. 4

    Confirm

    Tap "Install" in the confirmation dialog. StudyFlow will appear in your app drawer and on your home screen.

Android bonus: On Android, installed PWAs show up in the app switcher, receive notification badges, and can be managed in system settings just like native apps.
💻

Install on Desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux)

All major desktop browsers support PWA installation. Here are the steps for the most common browsers:

Google Chrome / Microsoft Edge

  1. 1 Navigate to app.studyflow.courses.
  2. 2 Look for the install icon (⬇ or ⊕) in the address bar on the right side.
  3. 3 Click "Install" in the popup dialog.
  4. 4 StudyFlow opens in its own window and is added to your taskbar / dock / applications menu.

Other browsers (Firefox, Brave, Arc)

Most Chromium-based browsers (Brave, Arc, Opera, Vivaldi) support the same install flow as Chrome. Firefox does not currently support PWA installation on desktop, but you can still use StudyFlow as a regular website in Firefox.

Managing your installed app

How do I uninstall?

On mobile, long-press the icon and choose "Remove" or "Uninstall". On desktop (Chrome), click the three-dot menu inside the app window and select "Uninstall StudyFlow".

How do updates work?

The app updates automatically whenever you open it and a new version is available. There's nothing to do on your end — you always run the latest version.

Does it work offline?

StudyFlow requires an internet connection for AI-powered features (generating summaries, quizzes). However, previously loaded content is cached and can be viewed offline.

Does it drain my battery?

No. When not in use, the app consumes zero resources — it's not running in the background like a native app.

Why install instead of bookmarking?

🎯

No distractions

No browser tabs, no address bar, no bookmarks toolbar. Just StudyFlow and your study material — perfect focus.

One-tap access

Launch from your home screen or dock. No typing URLs or searching through bookmarks.

Better performance

Installed PWAs can cache assets more aggressively, resulting in faster page loads and smoother navigation.
