Install Finocket as a real app
Add Finocket to your home screen on Android, iPhone or desktop so it launches like any other app — opens instantly and works offline.
Finocket installs from your browser and behaves like any other app on your phone: its own icon, instant launch, offline support, and home-screen shortcuts — with almost no storage used. Yes, it's a bookkeeping app that works offline.
How do I install on Android (Chrome)?
- Open Finocket in Chrome and sign in.
- The first time, the dashboard shows an "Install Finocket on your home screen" card — tap Install.
- Or tap the ⋮ menu → Install app, or the install icon in the address bar.
- Finocket lands on your home screen. Long-press the icon for quick shortcuts: New payment, New expense, New invoice, and Chat with Finocket.
How do I install on iPhone (Safari)?
Safari has no one-tap install button, but the flow is still simple:
- Open Finocket in Safari (Safari is required on iOS — not Chrome).
- Tap the Share button (square with an arrow, bottom toolbar).
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Confirm the name and tap Add. Finocket appears as an app icon.
Finocket shows iPhone users an install hint once; dismiss it and it won't nag again.
How do I install on desktop (Chrome / Edge)?
Click the install icon in the address bar (a small monitor with a down arrow). Finocket launches as a standalone window without browser chrome — a dedicated books window.
What do I get by installing?
- Works offline. Recent screens and data load from your device in the lift, on the train, in a low-signal godown. Entries you make offline queue up and sync automatically when you're back online — see Profile → Offline for the queue.
- Opens instantly from its cached bundle — no tab loading.
- Home-screen shortcuts to the most common actions on Android.
- Matches your theme. The status bar follows your chosen theme (light, dark, midnight, sunset, forest).
If you fully lose connection on a page that isn't cached, Finocket shows a friendly offline page and reloads automatically the moment your connection returns.
How do I uninstall?
Long-press the Finocket icon → Uninstall (Android) or Remove (iOS / desktop). Your data stays safe on Finocket's servers — sign in from any browser to pick up where you left off.

Frequently asked questions
Does Finocket really work without internet?
Yes, for day-to-day work. Recently visited screens and data are cached on your device, and entries you make offline are queued and synced when connectivity returns. Some actions that need the server — like connecting integrations or sending email — wait until you're back online.
Why can't I find the Install button on my iPhone?
iOS only allows installation from Safari, and Apple provides no install button — it's Share → Add to Home Screen. If you're in Chrome or another browser on iPhone, open the same address in Safari first, then follow the Share-menu steps.
Will installing use a lot of storage?
No. Finocket installs as a lightweight web app measured in megabytes, not the hundreds that typical store apps take. Your books live on the server, with only recent data cached locally for speed and offline use.
If I uninstall, do I lose my data?
No. Uninstalling removes only the icon and the local cache. Every client, invoice and payment stays on Finocket's servers under your account — sign in again from any browser or device and everything is there.
How do I update the app?
You don't have to do anything. As a web app, Finocket updates itself: the next time you open it online, the new version loads automatically. No store visits, no update prompts, no versions to manage.
