KEEP THE GOOD ONES

A place on
your home screen.

Open an app on its own website first. Your browser decides whether it can be kept, and the menu shows what it supports.

iPhone & iPad

In Safari, open the Share menu and choose Add to Home Screen. If it is missing, look under Edit Actions. Some sites open as a standalone app; others open as a shortcut in a normal browser tab.

Android

In Chrome, open the menu and look for Install app or Add to Home screen. A site that supports installation may also show its own install button. Other browsers vary, and some only create a shortcut.

On a computer

Chrome and Edge may show an install icon at the right of the address bar, or an Install option in the menu. Safari 17 on macOS Sonoma and later has File → Add to Dock. Safari does not offer an install prompt to the page, so a site’s own Install button may do nothing in Safari even when Add to Dock works.

What keeping does not mean

Keeping an app does not guarantee that it works offline, and it does not back up your work. Check the app’s own notes, and export or sync anything important before clearing browser data or removing the app.

This catalogue can be browsed offline after one successful online visit. The apps it links to each keep their own files, if they keep any.
