Install Steward as an app
Open Steward from your dock, taskbar or home screen in its own window.
What installing does
Installing adds Steward to your computer’s dock or taskbar, or to your phone’s home screen. It opens in its own window without browser tabs or an address bar, and starts in your workspace. Your account, projects and conversations are the same as in the browser. No separate download or app store is involved, and anyone who can sign in can install it.
Install on a computer
In Chrome or Microsoft Edge, open Steward and select the install icon at the right end of the address bar, then confirm Install. You can also open the browser menu and choose Cast, save and share → Install page as app in Chrome, or Apps → Install this site as an app in Edge.
In Safari on a Mac, open Steward and choose File → Add to Dock.
Install on a phone or tablet
On an iPhone or iPad, open Steward in Safari, tap the share button and choose Add to Home Screen.
On Android, open Steward in Chrome, open the menu and choose Add to Home screen or Install app.
Updates and offline use
The installed app always loads the current version of Steward. When a new version is ready, the same update notice as in the browser appears; select Refresh to switch to it. See keep Steward up to date.
Steward needs an internet connection. Without one, the app shows an offline page and opens your workspace again once you are reconnected.
Remove the app
Remove Steward the same way as other apps on your device, for example by right-clicking it in the dock or taskbar, or by long-pressing it on the home screen. Removing the app does not affect your account or your work.
