Install Bitácora on your phone

Add Bitácora to your iPhone or Android home screen and it opens full screen, like an app, with one tap.

On your phone (Bitácora Lite)

Bitácora isn't in the app stores: you install it from your phone's browser and it stays on your home screen with its icon.

From Bitácora Lite

In Lite, open Settings and look for Install on your phone: it has the steps for your browser and tells you whether it's already installed. On Android, when the browser allows it, the Install now button appears and that's all it takes.

On iPhone

  1. Open lite.bitacora.live in Safari and sign in.
  2. Tap the Share button (the square with the arrow pointing up).
  3. Choose Add to Home Screen and confirm with Add.

On Android

  1. Open lite.bitacora.live in Chrome and sign in.
  2. Open the three-dot menu.
  3. Choose Install app or Add to Home screen.

How it works

  • It opens full screen, without the browser bars, with the Bitácora icon and name.
  • It needs a connection: with no network, you'll see notices that something couldn't load.
  • Notifications reach the bell inside the app and your email. There are no phone notifications.

For your client

Your client can also have their delivery as an app. Turn on On the phone in What the client sees › Other ways to see it: the delivery email includes Open on your phone and they install it the same way, from the browser. See See your project on your phone.
