Add botn to home screen

Launches fast like a native app

Add to home screen

Screens load instantly offline; changes sync automatically when you reconnect.

botn is a PWA (web app) — no app store needed. Just open the web address (botn.app) and add it to your home screen to use it like an installed app. Once installed it runs in its own full-screen window, and frequently used screens are cached on your device so they open faster.

Why install

One-tap launch — Tap the home-screen icon to open straight into a full-screen window — no browser address bar.
Fast start — Screens, icons and fonts are precached on your device, so it loads instantly from the second visit on.
Works offline — Even with no network, cached screens still open, and your changes are sent automatically once you reconnect.
Get notifications — Running as an installed app lets you receive web push notifications. → Notifications

By platform

On Android and desktop Chrome/Edge, an Download app button appears at the top of botn for one-tap install. If you don’t see it — or you’re on iPhone — add it manually using the steps below.

iPhone / iPad (Safari)

Tap the Share button (↑) at the bottom (or top) of Safari.
Scroll the menu and choose Add to Home Screen.
Tap Add at the top right — done.

Android (Chrome)

If the Download app button is shown, just tap it to install.
If there’s no button, tap the ⋮ menu at the top right.
Choose Install app or Add to Home screen, then tap Install.

Desktop (Chrome / Edge)

Click the install icon (⊕) on the right of the address bar.
Click Install — it opens in its own window.

The install banner won’t reappear for the rest of that day once you dismiss it. If you’re already running the installed app (from the home screen), the banner doesn’t show at all.

Offline & local-first

botn caches data like contacts and tags on-device (IndexedDB). The server is the source of truth and the on-device copy is a cache, so cached screens appear instantly and you can keep working even when offline.

Changes made while offline are queued in an on-device outbox, then sent and synced to the server automatically once you reconnect.

Cached offline screens show data from the last time it was fetched. Changes made on another device or by a teammate appear once you’re back online.

Updating to a new version

When a new version ships, a A new version is ready prompt appears at the bottom of the app. Tap Update to refresh to the latest version, or Later to keep using the current one.

When you tap Update, botn first tries to send any pending changes before refreshing. If that takes too long it waits briefly and then updates anyway, leaving unsent changes on your device to sync at the next opportunity.
