Installing Kyōfolio
Install Kyōfolio like an app on iPhone, iPad, Android, or desktop—so it’s one tap away when you’re ready to plan.
Kyōfolio is a web app, but you can install it like a native app (a PWA) on most devices. That gives you a faster, more “app-like” experience—and most importantly: one-tap access when your brain is already tired.
In this guide

- Install on Android (Chrome)

What installing Kyōfolio does
Installing Kyōfolio:
- adds a Kyōfolio icon to your home screen / dock
- opens Kyōfolio in its own window (less browser clutter)
- makes it feel more like a real app
Installing Kyōfolio does not:
- make Kyōfolio work offline (internet is still required)
- give Kyōfolio extra permissions you didn’t approve
- sync anything differently (your account sync stays the same)
Install on iPhone / iPad (Safari)
Apple doesn’t allow “Install” prompts the same way Android/desktop do, but it’s still easy.
- Open Kyōfolio in Safari (Chrome on iOS is secretly Safari in a trench coat and can be unreliable for install.)
- Tap the Share icon (the square with the up arrow)
- Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen
- Tap Add
Now Kyōfolio will show up on your home screen like an app.
If you don’t see “Add to Home Screen”
- Make sure you’re using Safari
- Try closing Safari and reopening it
- If you’re in a private browsing tab, switch to a normal tab
Install on Android (Chrome)
- Open Kyōfolio in Chrome
- Look for an Install banner or button (often near the address bar)
- If you don’t see it, tap the ⋮ menu (top right)
- Tap Install app or Add to Home screen
- Confirm
Kyōfolio will appear in your app launcher like any other app.
Install on desktop (Chrome or Edge)
- Open Kyōfolio in Chrome or Microsoft Edge
- Look for the Install icon in the address bar (it may look like a monitor with a down arrow, or a plus)
- Click Install
- Confirm
Kyōfolio will open in its own window and can be pinned to your dock/taskbar.
If you don’t see the install icon
- Refresh the page
- Make sure you’re not in an incognito/private window
- Try Chrome/Edge (some browsers don’t support install the same way)
Troubleshooting
“It installed, but I can’t log in”
Try:
- opening Kyōfolio in your regular browser first and logging in
- then opening the installed app again
“It looks zoomed in / weird”
- On mobile: check your browser zoom settings
- On desktop: reset zoom to 100%
“I installed it, but it still opens in the browser”
That usually means the install didn’t complete. Remove it and install again using the steps above.
