The good news? Pricefic is a Progressive Web App (PWA). That means you can install it on your desktop or mobile device—without needing to visit an app store. Here's how to do it, step-by-step, based on your platform and browser.
What Is a PWA?
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application that offers app-like features such as offline support, fullscreen mode, and a home screen icon—all through your browser. Once installed, Pricefic behaves like a native app with quick launch and improved focus.
How to Install Pricefic on Mobile Devices
iPhone or iPad (iOS Safari)
Safari on iOS doesn’t offer an install prompt, so you’ll need to do it manually:
- Open pricefic.com in Safari.
- Tap the Share icon (the square with an arrow pointing up).
- Scroll down and tap “Add to Home Screen.”
- Tap Add on the top-right corner.
That’s it—Pricefic is now installed like a native app on your iPhone or iPad.
Note: This only works in Safari on iOS (not Chrome or Firefox). It’s a limitation from Apple.
Android (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera)
Most Chromium-based browsers on Android support full PWA functionality:
- Open pricefic.com in Chrome (or Brave, Edge).
- After a few seconds, you may see a banner asking to “Add Pricefic to Home screen.”
-
If you don’t see a prompt:
- Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
- Select “Add to Home screen.”
- Tap Add in the confirmation dialog.
Once installed, Pricefic opens in full-screen mode without the browser UI.
How to Install Pricefic on Desktop
Windows (Chrome, Edge)
- Open pricefic.com in Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
- In the address bar, look for a small install icon (a computer with a down arrow) on the far right.
- Click it, then click Install.
- Pricefic will launch in its own window and appear in your Start Menu or taskbar.
Alternatively, open the three-dot menu, choose “More Tools,” then select “Install Pricefic.”
macOS (Chrome, Edge)
The process is nearly identical to Windows:
- Visit pricefic.com using Chrome or Edge.
- Click the install icon in the address bar or go to More Tools > Install Pricefic.
- A new standalone app window will open.
- You’ll now find Pricefic in your Applications folder and Launchpad.
You can also launch it quickly using Spotlight (Command + Space) by typing “Pricefic.”
What About Other Browsers?
Safari on macOS
Safari does not currently support installing PWAs the way Chrome or Edge does on desktop. However, you can:
- Bookmark Pricefic to your Dock using the “Add to Dock” feature (macOS Ventura+)
- Or use Chrome to install and launch the standalone app separately
Firefox (All Platforms)
Mozilla Firefox does not support PWA installation natively as of now. While it will run the Pricefic web app just fine, it:
- Won’t allow adding it as a standalone app
- Won’t store offline content or show install banners
You can still pin the tab, bookmark it, or use it as your startup page.
Arc Browser
Arc is a Chromium-based browser with a custom shell. However:
- It does not support
beforeinstallprompt
or the install prompt APIs - It will not show install banners
- You can manually create a sidebar or split-view for Pricefic, but it’s not installable as a PWA
Workaround: Use Chrome or Edge to install Pricefic as a standalone app, and launch that from your system or dock.
Why Install Pricefic?
Installing Pricefic gives you a faster, distraction-free experience:
- No address bar or tabs
- Works like a native app
- Launch directly from your device’s home screen or app drawer
- Keeps you signed in, with improved offline capabilities
Whether you’re managing invoices, checking reports, or tracking inventory, it’s faster and more seamless when installed.
