No App Store Needed: How Stillpoint Works Offline, Anytime

What if your sanctuary could travel with you, even when you don't have an internet connection? On a plane, on the subway, or in a remote cabin—Stillpoint is designed to be there for you, no signal required.

This is possible because Stillpoint is a Progressive Web App (PWA).

What is a PWA?

A PWA is a modern website that has the superpowers of a native mobile app. It gives you the best of both worlds:

  • Accessibility: You can access it from any browser on any device, just by visiting our website. There's nothing to download from the App Store or Google Play.
  • Installability: You can "install" the app to your device's home screen, where it will look and feel just like a native app.
  • Offline Functionality: Once installed, the core features of the app are saved (cached) on your device, allowing you to use them even without an internet connection.

How to Install Stillpoint on Your Device

It takes just a few seconds:

  • On iOS (iPhone/iPad):

    1. Open Stillpoint in the Safari browser.
    2. Tap the 'Share' icon (the box with an arrow pointing up).
    3. Scroll down and select 'Add to Home Screen'.
    4. Confirm the name, and an icon will appear on your home screen.

  • On Android:

    1. Open Stillpoint in the Chrome browser.
    2. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
    3. Select 'Install app' or 'Add to Home screen'.

  • On Desktop (Chrome/Edge):

    1. Visit the Stillpoint website.
    2. Look for an 'Install' icon in the address bar (it often looks like a computer screen with a downward arrow). Click it and follow the prompts.

The Benefits of Offline Access

Once Stillpoint is installed, you can be completely disconnected from the internet and still:

This offline-first approach is central to our philosophy. We want Stillpoint to be a reliable tool you can count on, especially in those moments when you might be traveling or intentionally disconnecting from the online world to find your focus. Install it today and experience the freedom of having your mindfulness toolkit always in your pocket, no strings attached.
