Install the app

Things To Have is a web app you can install on your phone or computer. Installing adds an icon to your home screen or app launcher and opens the app in its own window, without browser tabs and address bar — it feels like a native app, with nothing to download from an app store.

Installing is optional: everything works the same in a regular browser tab, and anyone can open your shared lists from a plain link without installing anything.

Android (Chrome, Edge, and other browsers)

1. Open thingstohave.app in your browser.
2. Open the browser menu (the ⋮ button).
3. Tap Add to Home screen (in some browsers it is called Install app).
4. Confirm — the icon appears on your home screen.

iPhone and iPad (Safari)

1. Open thingstohave.app in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up).
3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
4. Tap Add — the icon appears on your home screen.

Desktop (Chrome and Edge)

1. Open thingstohave.app.
2. Click the install icon at the right end of the address bar (a screen with a down arrow), or open the browser menu and choose Install Things To Have.
3. Confirm — the app opens in its own window and appears in your app launcher.

Good to know

• The installed app is the same app as the website: your account, lists, and settings stay in sync because it is the same site.
• The app needs an internet connection — it does not work offline.
• To remove it, delete the icon like any other app; your account and lists are not affected.
