A home-screen icon saves you from searching through tabs. Installing KeepNotes gives you a separate way to open the same site; it does not create another account or a separate collection of notes.
On Android
Open KeepNotes in a browser supporting web-app installation, such as Chrome. Open the browser menu and look for Install app or Add to Home screen. The wording varies.
Follow the prompt and launch the new icon. The site's own install button can start the same process when your browser makes it available.
On iPhone or iPad
Open the site in Safari. Use Share, choose Add to Home Screen, check the name, and confirm. On versions offering Open as Web App, enable it for the app-style window.
Keep bookmarks or account access for individual notes. The launch page is not a substitute for a note's URL.
On desktop
In a supporting browser such as Chrome or Edge, look for installation in the address bar or browser menu. Confirm, then launch KeepNotes from your applications list.
If there is no install command, a bookmark is a useful alternative. The website still works normally.
When the option is missing
- Check you are on HTTPS.
- See whether you already installed it.
- Update the browser and reload.
- Try a regular window rather than private browsing.
- Check restrictions on school or employer devices.
For browser differences, see MDN's installation guide.
Find the same notes
Use the same URL and account when access requires it. If a note is missing, check the login and address before creating a replacement. The beginner guide covers bookmarks and ownership.
Installation is not a backup or a guarantee of offline synchronization. Export important text and PDFs before travel, then test the files without a connection. Follow the offline-copy checklist.
