Install DownHub

DownHub is a web app. Adding it to your home screen gives you an icon and a full-screen window, without an app store.

iPhone and iPad

  1. Open DownHub in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button, the square with an arrow, at the bottom of the screen. From iOS 26, it is in the three-dot menu next to the address bar.
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add. The icon appears on your last home screen page.

Android

  1. Open DownHub in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu at the top right.
  3. Tap Add to Home screen, or Install app when Chrome offers it.
  4. Confirm with Install.

Desktop

  1. Open DownHub in Chrome or Edge.
  2. Click the install icon at the end of the address bar.
  3. Click Install. DownHub opens in its own window from then on.

What installing changes

  • An icon, and a window without browser chrome.
  • Pages you have already opened still load without a connection.
  • Nothing is downloaded from a store, and no permission is requested.
  • Downloading itself still needs a connection, because the file comes from the platform.
Bookmarks cannot be added for you
Browsers removed the ability for a page to add itself to your bookmarks, and no replacement exists. Adding to the home screen is the closest thing, which is why it is the route described here.
