Install it like an app. A push when it matters.
Comments do not wait for office hours. The whole product installs on a phone in a few taps, works with a thumb, and sends one notification when comments need a reply, a customer writes, or a cleanup finishes.
Swipe, hold, and the push that opens the right list
Left, a row mid-swipe with Archive showing. Right, the list a notification lands on, only the comments that need a reply, with the push itself arriving on top. Real captures from the showcase account.
Install, notify, and everything with a thumb
The install guide, the four notifications, the device panel and the phone layout, in the app's own words.

- A strip and a card, not a nag

In-app browsers, iOS, and blocked notifications
The places installs and notifications go wrong, written out.
- iPhone, but not from Safari
- The panel says to open the link in Safari first (iOS installs web apps from Safari only) and offers to copy it.
- An in-app browser (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn)
- Open in your browser first, with the link ready to copy; those browsers cannot install or notify.
- Notifications blocked at the OS
- The macOS permission banner and the Windows, Android and iOS system settings are walked through step by step, including Focus and Scheduled Summary on iOS and sleeping apps on Samsung.
- You dismissed the install strip
- Not now is remembered; the install option stays in Settings, Notifications, Device.
- Two devices, different needs
- Preferences are per device: cleanups on the desktop, customer messages on the phone.
Everything the desktop does, in your pocket
The inbox, messages and cleanup are the pages you will open from a push.
