Install Omnifox as an App (PWA) on Desktop and Mobile
Add Omnifox to your desktop or home screen to open it like a native app, no browser tabs required.
Omnifox is a Progressive Web App (PWA): you can install it just like a native desktop or mobile app, with its own icon, a standalone window, and a faster launch — without losing any functionality.
Requirements
- An up-to-date modern browser: Chrome or Edge on Windows/Mac/Linux, Chrome on Android, Safari on iOS.
- You must have logged into your Omnifox account at least once.
- An internet connection for the initial install (it behaves the same as the web version afterward).
Steps on desktop (Chrome or Edge)
- Log into your account at
app.omnifox.io(or your workspace's domain). - Look for the install icon in the address bar (a small screen with a down arrow, to the right of the URL).
- Click Install Omnifox and confirm.
- The app opens in its own window and gets pinned to your desktop or taskbar.
Steps on Android (Chrome)
- Open Omnifox in Chrome.
- Tap the three-dot menu → Add to Home screen (or wait for the automatic "Install app" prompt).
- Confirm the name and tap Install.
Steps on iOS (Safari)
- Open Omnifox in Safari (this doesn't work from Chrome on iOS).
- Tap the Share icon (the square with an arrow pointing up).
- Choose Add to Home Screen and confirm.
Example
An agent who works in Omnifox all day installs the app on their laptop: now they open it with one click from the dock, no browser tabs in the way, and new-message notifications arrive just like with any other installed app.
Tips
- You can have the installed app and the web version open at the same time — they share the same session.
- The icon you'll see is the Omnifox logo, and the short name shown is "Omnifox".
Troubleshooting
- If the install icon doesn't appear in Chrome/Edge: update the browser to the latest version and reload the page.
- On iOS, if you don't see "Add to Home Screen": make sure you're using Safari, not another browser.
- If the installed app doesn't load: close it, check your connection, and reopen it — your session stays active.
