How to install dhytte.no as an app on your phone
Did you know that dhytte.no can be installed as a real app on your phone — without the App Store or Google Play?
dhytte.no is a Progressive Web App (PWA). That means it works as a website in your browser, but can be installed on your home screen and used like a regular app — with an app icon, fullscreen display, and fast opening.
Here's how to do it on iPhone, Android, and desktop.
On iPhone (iOS) — Safari
To install dhytte.no as an app on iPhone, you need to use Safari — not Chrome or Firefox.
Steps:
- Open Safari and go to dhytte.no
- Log in to your account
- Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen — the square box with an upward arrow
- Scroll down in the menu that opens and tap "Add to Home Screen"
- Confirm by tapping "Add" in the top right
dhytte.no will now appear as an app icon on your home screen — just like any other app.
Tip: Log in before installing so you're already signed in the first time you open the app.
On Android — Chrome
On Android, installation works best via Google Chrome.
Steps:
- Open Chrome and go to dhytte.no
- Log in to your account
- Tap the three dots in the top right (the menu button)
- Tap "Install app" or "Add to Home screen"
- Confirm by tapping "Install"
An installation prompt sometimes appears automatically at the bottom of the screen — tap it to install directly.
On Windows or Mac — Chrome or Edge
dhytte.no can also be installed as a desktop app on PC and Mac.
In Chrome:
- Go to dhytte.no
- Look for an install icon (screen with downward arrow) in the address bar on the right
- Click it and choose "Install"
In Microsoft Edge:
- Go to dhytte.no
- Click the three dots in the top right
- Choose "Apps" → "Install this site as an app"
dhytte.no then opens in its own window without browser buttons — just like a regular desktop app.
What you get by installing
- Faster opening — apps start faster than the browser
- Fullscreen display — no address bar or browser chrome
- App icon on your home screen or desktop
- Offline mode — some content is available without internet
- Notifications — future app updates can send alerts
Do you still need internet?
Yes — to load, save and sync data you need an internet connection. But content you've recently viewed may be available offline via the browser cache.
Common questions
Does it work on all phones? Yes. PWAs work on all modern phones with an up-to-date browser. Older models (iOS older than 14 or Android 8 and below) may have limited support.
Does it take up much storage space? No. A PWA takes very little storage space compared to a regular app.
Do I need to update it? The app updates itself automatically next time you use it with internet access.
