On a phone: install, use, share

DevAny is built to be used on a phone — install your app to the home screen, use the camera, share by QR.

1
Open the live link on your phone
Your app's address is an ordinary web address; it opens in the browser.
2
Choose "Add to Home Screen"
On iPhone: Share → Add to Home Screen; on Android: menu → Install app.
3
It opens with its own icon
Your app launches full-screen with its own name and icon, no browser bar — it feels like a store app.
4
Have your team and customers install it
The same steps work for everyone; no install package, no account required.

	How it shows up in your app
Camera / photo picker	On any form with a photo field; shoot one or pick from the gallery
Full-screen launch from the home screen	Own name, own icon, no browser chrome
Sharing by QR	The publish screen has a ready QR — for a table, a window, a card
Sharing the link	One tap into WhatsApp/SMS through the phone's share sheet
Building/editing from a phone	The builder works fully on a phone; builds continue in the background

Try it yourself

Use your live app on your phone like a real app.

1Open the live link on your phone and add it to the home screen.
2Launch it from the home screen — is the icon right and does it open full screen?
3Add a record with a photo; use the camera.
4Have someone scan the QR from the publish screen.
5Complete one task end-to-end one-handed with your thumb — note where it fights you.

What you should end up with

You end up with an app that genuinely works on a phone, and a concrete list of what to fix.

Key takeaways

A published app installs to the home screen and launches full-screen with its own icon.
Photo fields open the camera directly on a phone.
Trying it on a real phone before publishing is the fastest quality check.
