How to install on Windows
For an app that supports Windows, open its verified installation link in Microsoft Edge or Chrome. Install from the app’s setup screen so the new icon opens the app.
- In Edge, open the three-dot menu, then More tools → Apps → Install this site as an app. In Chrome, choose Cast, save, and share → Install page as app. An install icon may also appear in the address bar.
- Confirm Install, then open the new app icon. Follow any remaining secure access prompts.
- Close the app and reopen its icon to check that it opens in its own window. Use Save PDF to keep reports as independent files.
Doodle testers: use the private preview installation link supplied for your test. Doodle’s public Mac ZIP does not install on Windows or Android. Windows and phone availability will be announced after device checks pass.

Why we build this way
Independent distribution
We can distribute our web apps directly and make improvements without an App Store review for each web update.
Costs we can manage
Our own web checkout helps us manage payment and distribution costs. You see the price and terms before choosing a plan.
Quicker improvements
We can publish fixes and improvements through our servers. You do not need to find a new App Store release for each change.
An icon you can keep close
For our PWAs, installation happens in your browser. No App Store account is needed to add the app to your Home Screen.
More ways to reach you
Web technology can serve phones, tablets and computers. Availability and features still depend on the particular app, device and browser.
A direct relationship
We manage your Circle account, subscriptions and support ourselves. When you need help, you can contact us directly.
How updates reach your app
Updates arrive through the web when your device is connected. An app may wait until you finish an activity, ask you to refresh, or update when you reopen it. An offline device cannot receive a new version immediately.
What a web app can and cannot do
Our PWAs use secure HTTPS connections and browser technology, including service workers where supported. They can feel like native apps, but iOS still controls permissions and device access.
A PWA does not have unrestricted access to your Contacts, Messages, background processing or system functions. Features needing deeper device access may require a native app. Check the product page for the features and devices supported today.
Read this in your language
Use the language menu at the top of this page for English, French, Spanish or Simplified Chinese. The same choices are available in the footer.
For another language, try your browser’s page translation. In Safari on iPhone, open the Page Menu and choose its translation option when available. Supported languages vary; automatic translation can miss details.
Our philosophy
Build once. Distribute directly. Keep improving. Stay close to the people who use it.
