How do I add YourCA to my home screen?
- 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.
- 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.
- Switch the card between iPhone and Android. Press any step to stop it there while you follow along.
- 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.
- On Android: open yourca.ai in Chrome. Press the three dots at the top right. Press Add to Home screen, then Install.
- Sign-in works exactly as in your browser, and you stay signed in. When the icon is there, you set up nothing else.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
