Installing IRONSLOG as a PWA
IRONSLOG installs as a PWA from any modern mobile or desktop browser — no app-store download — and behaves like a native app afterward: its own icon, its own window, and offline-capable access to the app shell and your cached data once installed.
How do I actually install it?
On Android and most desktop browsers, an install prompt appears in the browser’s menu (often "Install app" or "Add to Home screen"); on iOS Safari, use the Share sheet’s "Add to Home Screen" option. There’s no separate app-store listing — installation happens directly from the browser.
What happens once it’s installed?
IRONSLOG opens in its own window without browser chrome, with its own home-screen or desktop icon, and launches straight into the logging screen. The installed app and the browser tab both point at the same account and data — installing doesn’t create a separate copy of anything.
What actually works offline?
The app shell (its screens and static assets) loads offline once cached, and Firestore’s offline persistence keeps your recently synced data available without a connection. Actions that need the server — like a brand-new AI plan draft, or syncing a set to another device — resume automatically once you’re back online.
| Platform | How to install |
|---|---|
| Android / desktop Chrome, Edge | Browser menu → Install app |
| iOS Safari | Share sheet → Add to Home Screen |
| App scope | /app — the marketing site itself is never installed or cached by the app |
Key takeaways
- IRONSLOG installs directly from the browser — there is no separate app-store listing.
- The installed app and the browser tab share the same account and data.
- The app shell and recently synced data are available offline; server-dependent actions resume when back online.
- Only /app is ever installed or cached — the marketing/content site is always served fresh from the network.
