Install Carna on your phone, tablet or computer

Carna is a web app, so there is nothing to download from an app store. You open it in a browser, and you can add it to your home screen or desktop so it opens like any other app.

The address is always www.carna.app.

On Windows or macOS #

Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

1. Open www.carna.app in Chrome or Edge.
2. Look at the right-hand end of the address bar for the install icon — a small screen with a downward arrow.
3. Click it, then click Install in the window that appears.

Carna is now an application on your computer. You will find it on the desktop, in the Windows Start menu, or in the macOS Launchpad, and you can pin it to the taskbar or the dock.

If you cannot see the install icon, the page may still be loading, or you may be in a browser that does not support it. Safari on macOS does not offer it; use Chrome or Edge.

On Android #

1. Open www.carna.app in Chrome.
2. Tap the three-dot menu at the top right.
3. Tap Install app — on some phones it says Add to Home screen.
4. Tap Install to confirm.

On iPhone or iPad #

This one has to be done in Safari. Chrome on iOS cannot add apps to the home screen.

1. Open www.carna.app in Safari.
2. Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen — the square with an arrow pointing up.
3. Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen.
4. Tap Add at the top right.

What installing does and does not change #

It is the same Carna, with the same account and the same homework. Installing only gives you an icon and a window without the browser bars around it.

You still need an internet connection. Nothing is stored on the device for offline use.
