How YourCA works, step by step.

How do I add YourCA to my home screen?

  1. There is no app store download. YourCA is a website your phone can save as an app. It takes a second and uses almost no space.
  2. Open YourCA on the phone itself. The Dash there has a card called "Put YourCA on your phone". It plays each press on a drawing of the sign-in screen.
  3. Switch the card between iPhone and Android. Press any step to stop it there while you follow along.
  4. On an iPhone: open yourca.ai in Safari. Press the three dots at the bottom right. Press Share, then View More, then Add to Home Screen. Some iPhones show a share arrow in the bottom bar instead of the dots; it opens the same sheet.
  5. On Android: open yourca.ai in Chrome. Press the three dots at the top right. Press Add to Home screen, then Install.
  6. Sign-in works exactly as in your browser, and you stay signed in. When the icon is there, you set up nothing else.
  7. When installed, YourCA opens on the whole screen with no browser bar. Pull down at the top of a tab to refresh it. In a browser tab, your browser already uses that gesture, so we leave it alone.
  8. The icon opens straight onto your jobs, not onto our website. If you are signed out, it opens on the sign-in screen, the same one you use in a browser.
  9. The card takes itself off the Dash when you open YourCA from the home screen. Hide removes it on that device, installed or not. That browser remembers it; your account does not.
Worth knowing

On an iPhone, use Safari. Chrome and Firefox on an iPhone cannot add a site to the home screen at all. If you open yourca.ai in one of those, the step is not there.
