How to Install WalletMap on Your Phone, Tablet, or Desktop
You might already use WalletMap on your computer to track your assets. But did you know you can install it on your phone and use it just like a regular app?
No App Store or Google Play download needed — you install it directly from your browser. That's the beauty of PWA (Progressive Web App) technology.
What Is a PWA?
A PWA is a web application that can be installed on your device. Once installed, it appears on your home screen and opens like a native app — full screen, no browser chrome, smoother experience.
Here's what you get:
- One-tap access: Open WalletMap directly from your home screen instead of typing a URL
- Full-screen experience: No browser address bar or toolbars taking up space
- Always up to date: Every time you open it, you're on the latest version
- Cross-platform: Works on iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows, and Chromebook
Install on iPhone / iPad
On iOS, PWA installation requires Safari. Other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) on iOS do not support PWA installation.
Steps:
- Open Safari and go to walletmap.app
- Tap the Share button at the bottom (the square with an arrow icon)
- Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen"
- Confirm the name (defaults to "WalletMap") and tap "Add" in the top-right corner
Done! You'll see a WalletMap icon on your home screen. Tap it to open WalletMap directly.
Install on Android
Chrome is recommended for the best installation experience on Android.
Steps:
- Open Chrome and go to walletmap.app
- Chrome usually shows an "Install app" banner at the bottom — just tap it
- If you don't see the banner, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right and select "Install app"
- Tap "Install" in the confirmation popup
After installation, WalletMap will appear on your home screen and in your app drawer.
Install on Desktop
You can also install WalletMap on your computer. Chrome, Edge, and Safari on macOS all support PWA installation.
Chrome / Edge steps:
- Open Chrome or Edge and go to walletmap.app
- You'll see an install icon in the address bar (a download icon or plus sign)
- Click the icon, then click "Install" in the popup
- WalletMap will open in its own window and appear in your app list
macOS Safari steps:
- Open Safari and go to walletmap.app
- From the menu bar, select "File" → "Add to Dock"
- WalletMap will appear in your Dock
Once installed, WalletMap runs in its own window — just like a native desktop application.
What Changes After Installation?
Installing the PWA improves your experience in a few ways:
Full-screen mode: No browser address bar or toolbars. WalletMap takes up the entire screen, which is especially noticeable on phones.
Standalone app switching: In your phone's app switcher (multitasking view), WalletMap appears as its own app instead of being buried in browser tabs.
Your data stays the same: Installing the PWA doesn't change any of your data. Your Google Sheets and all settings remain exactly as they were. The PWA simply changes how you open WalletMap.
FAQ
Q: Do I need to create a new account? No. If you already have a WalletMap account, just sign in after installing — everything is the same.
Q: How is a PWA different from a native app? For everyday use, there's barely a difference — you get full screen, a home screen icon, and a standalone window. The main difference is that PWAs are installed from your browser, not from an app store.
Q: Can I install it on multiple devices? Yes. Install it on your phone, tablet, and computer. Since your data is read from your Google Sheets, you'll see the same information on every device.
Q: How do I uninstall it? Just like any other app — long-press the icon on your phone and delete it, or remove it from your app list on desktop.
Get Started
