# Mobile

Archer is a **Progressive Web App (PWA).** There is no separate iOS or Android binary to download. The same [app.archerprotocol.com](https://app.archerprotocol.com) runs natively in your phone's browser, and you can install it to your home screen for a full-screen, app-like experience with no browser chrome.

No App Store review, no Play Store rollouts, no version fragmentation.

## Mobile-First Design

The Archer interface is built mobile-first. Every screen renders cleanly from a 375px iPhone SE all the way up to ultra-wide desktop monitors:

* **Adaptive chat layout.** Threads, the message composer, and confirmation modals reflow for one-handed use on phones, and expand into a multi-pane layout on tablets and desktops.
* **Bottom-sheet confirmations on phone, modal dialogs on desktop.** 
* **Touch-friendly targets.** Every tappable control is at least 44×44 px.
* **Safe-area aware.** Bottom-anchored controls respect iPhone notches and home indicators.
* **Long strings abbreviated with tap-to-copy.** Wallet addresses and transaction hashes truncate gracefully on phone without losing accessibility.
* **Horizontal scroll** for wide tables (portfolio breakdowns, transaction history) so nothing overflows.

## Install to Home Screen

### iOS (Safari)

1. Open [app.archerprotocol.com](https://app.archerprotocol.com) in Safari
2. Tap the **Share** button (square with up arrow)
3. Scroll down and tap **Add to Home Screen**
4. Confirm the name and tap **Add**

The Archer icon appears on your home screen and launches in full-screen mode with no Safari address bar.

### Android (Chrome)

1. Open [app.archerprotocol.com](https://app.archerprotocol.com) in Chrome
2. Tap the **⋮** menu in the top right
3. Tap **Add to Home screen** (or **Install app** if available)
4. Confirm

Chrome on Android also surfaces an automatic install prompt after a few visits.

### Desktop (Chrome, Edge, Arc)

1. Open [app.archerprotocol.com](https://app.archerprotocol.com)
2. Look for the **install** icon in the address bar (a small monitor with a down arrow), or use the browser menu → **Install Archer**
3. Click **Install**

Archer opens in its own window with no browser tabs or address bar.

## What Works on Mobile

Everything in the web app works on mobile:

* Swaps, bridges, sends: full Confirm/Cancel modal flow
* Portfolio aggregation across all wallets and chains
* Embedded wallet signing (handled by Privy, no popup juggling)
* Connected external wallets: works with Phantom mobile, MetaMask mobile, Coinbase Wallet via WalletConnect
* Threaded conversations with full context

## Limitations

* **Connected wallet sends from mobile** are not recommended as they rely on the third-party wallet's mobile UX. Most modern mobile wallets work cleanly; some legacy extensions don't have mobile equivalents. Therefore, Archer's native non-custodial embedded wallets we provision for you will definitively have the best UX. 
* **Push notifications** are limited on iOS Safari: for time-sensitive alerts (e.g., long-running quote expiry), keep the tab open.
