Get the Ome.gg app

Ome.gg installs straight from your browser, with no app store in between. Here's how it works, which devices can do it, and how to add it to yours.

What's a web app?

A web app is a website you can install. Your browser adds Ome.gg to your home screen, Dock or taskbar, and from then on it opens in its own window, like any other app. There's no app store and no big download.

No app store

It installs straight from your browser in a few taps.

Its own window

Full screen on phones, its own window on computers, with an icon on your home screen, Dock or taskbar.

Same account

It's the same Ome.gg: your friends, chats and streaks are all there.

Updates itself

You always have the latest version. There's nothing to update.

Tiny

It uses very little storage on your device.

Notifications

Hear about new messages and friend requests, even when it's closed.

How to install

The quick way: Get the app

Already using Ome.gg? Tap Get the app. On a phone it's under You. On a computer it's in Settings → Notifications, and sometimes as a card in the sidebar. In Chrome and Edge it opens the install window for you. Everywhere else it shows the steps below, and on iPhone and iPad it brings your account along too.

Go to Get the app →

iPhone & iPad

Safari, or Chrome, Edge and Firefox on iOS 16.4 or later

In Safari

1.Tap ShareThe square with the arrow, at the bottom of the screen (at the top on iPad). On newer versions, tap ⋯ next to the address bar first.
2.Tap Add to Home ScreenScroll down the list if you don't see it.
3.Leave “Open as Web App” on, then tap AddNot every version shows this switch. If yours doesn't, just tap Add.
4.Open Ome.gg from your Home ScreenThen tap Continue with my account, and your friends and chats come along.

In Chrome, Edge or Firefox: tap Share (in the address bar or the browser's menu), then Add to Home Screen. This needs iOS 16.4 or later.

Why “Continue with my account”?

On iPhone and iPad the installed app keeps its own sign-in, separate from Safari's.

When you start from Get the app in Ome.gg, it copies a one-time key. The app's first screen uses it to bring your account, friends and chats along.

If the app asks for a code, type the 8-digit code from Safari's screen. Use the same Wi-Fi or connection as Safari. The key works once, within 15 minutes.

Questions

Is it safe?+

Yes. It's the same Ome.gg website, served over HTTPS, just in its own window. It only gets the permissions you give it, like notifications.

Does it take up space?+

Very little. There's nothing big to download, and it updates itself.

Do I need a new account?+

No, it's the same account. On iPhone and iPad, tap Continue with my account when you first open the app. Everywhere else you're signed in already.

Is the app different from the website?+

No. It's the same Ome.gg with the same features. It just opens in its own window, without the address bar.

Why don't I see the install option?+

Check that your device and browser are in the list above. If you opened Ome.gg from Instagram, TikTok or another app, open it in Safari or Chrome first. And if Ome.gg is already installed, your browser may offer to open it instead.
