Installing ExpertPractice on Your Phone

Can I get ExpertPractice as an app instead of a browser tab?

You Don't Need an App Store

ExpertPractice isn't distributed through the App Store or Google Play — instead, your browser can add it directly to your home screen as an installed app. It opens full-screen, gets its own icon, and behaves like any other app on your phone, without a separate download.

The In-App Prompt

After a few visits (or as soon as you log your first time entry), you may see a banner across the top of the app offering to install it right there:

On desktop and Android, tapping Install hands off to your browser's own install prompt. On iPhone, the banner instead points you to the manual steps below, since Safari doesn't let a website trigger its own install prompt. If you dismiss the banner, it stays away for two weeks — the steps below work anytime, whether or not the banner happens to be showing.

iPhone or iPad (Safari)

1. Open ExpertPractice in Safari and log in.
2. Tap the Share icon (the square with an arrow pointing up) in the toolbar.
3. Scroll down the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen.
4. Confirm the name and tap Add.

This has to be done in Safari specifically — Chrome or another browser on iOS can't add a home-screen app the same way, since Apple only exposes that capability to its own browser engine.

Android (Chrome)

1. Open ExpertPractice in Chrome and log in.
2. Tap the ⋮ menu in the top right.
3. Tap Add to Home screen (or Install app, depending on your Chrome version).
4. Confirm, and the icon appears on your home screen.

Desktop (Chrome or Edge)

1. Open ExpertPractice in Chrome or Edge and log in.
2. Look for an install icon in the address bar (a small monitor with a down arrow), or open the ⋮ menu and look for Install ExpertPractice… (sometimes under an Apps submenu).
3. Click Install. ExpertPractice now opens in its own window from your dock, taskbar, or applications folder — no browser tabs or address bar.

Firefox and Safari on desktop don't currently support installing websites this way.

What Installing Actually Changes

Nothing about your account or data — it's the exact same ExpertPractice, running in its own window instead of a browser tab. It's purely a shortcut: faster to open, easier to find, and one less browser tab competing for your attention when you just need to log time between meetings.
