Install Kalem as an app (PWA)

Kalem is a Progressive Web App (PWA). You can add it to your home screen without an app store. Once installed, it opens full screen like any app and keeps working offline.

Android (Chrome)

  1. Open Kalem in Chrome.
  2. Tap Install on the Kalem banner, or open the ⋮ menu and choose Install app.
  3. Kalem appears on your home screen and in your app list.

iPhone and iPad (Safari)

  1. Open Kalem in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up).
  3. Choose Add to Home Screen.
  4. From now on, open Kalem from the icon on your home screen.

Install hint on iPhone

iPhone note: the home-screen app keeps its data separately from Safari tabs. After installing, sign in again from the home-screen icon. Your data syncs back from the server.

Computer (Chrome or Edge)

Click the Install icon at the right end of the address bar, or open the browser menu and choose Install Kalem.

When there’s a new version

When an update is ready, Kalem shows “A new version of Kalem is ready.” with a Reload button. Until you tap it, or while any Kalem window is still open, the previous version keeps running.
