Install Octofy as an App: AI on Your Desktop and Mobile

Octofy Team·

No App Store Needed

Octofy is a Progressive Web App (PWA). That means you can install it directly from your browser and use it like a native application on your desktop, phone, or tablet. No app store downloads, no waiting for updates, no storage bloat.

What You Get

Desktop app experience

On Mac, Windows, or Linux, Octofy runs in its own window with its own icon in the dock or taskbar. It looks and feels like a native desktop application. Alt-tab to it, pin it, launch it from your desktop.

Mobile app experience

On iOS and Android, Octofy gets added to your home screen with a proper app icon. It launches in full-screen mode without browser chrome. It looks and feels like an app you downloaded from the app store.

Offline support

If your internet connection drops, Octofy doesn't just show a blank page. The app remains accessible and shows you a clear offline indicator. When connectivity returns, everything picks up where it left off.

How to Install

Desktop (Chrome, Edge, Arc)

Look for the install icon in the browser's address bar, or use the browser menu. Click install and Octofy gets its own window and dock icon.

iPhone / iPad

Open Octofy in Safari, tap the share button, and select "Add to Home Screen." Octofy appears as an app icon on your home screen.

Android

Chrome will show an install prompt automatically, or use the browser menu to select "Install app." Octofy appears in your app drawer.

Always Up to Date

Unlike traditional apps that require manual updates, Octofy as a PWA updates automatically. Every time you open it, you're running the latest version. New features, bug fixes, and model additions appear without any action on your part.

Notifications

Get notified about new changelog updates and features. Stay informed without having to check manually.

Why PWA?

PWAs combine the best of web and native apps. You get the reach and simplicity of a website with the performance and feel of a native app. No app store approval delays, no forced updates, no heavy downloads. Just fast, reliable AI access from any device.
