thisweek

Install

Put thisweek on your home screen

It installs from the browser you already have. No app store, no download. It opens full screen with its own icon, and a list you've opened keeps working when the signal drops in the store.

Find your browser below — every phone browser has its own way to do this, and none of them is called the same thing.

iPhone & iPad — Safari

  1. Open thisweek.food in Safari.
  2. Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow coming out of the top.
  3. Scroll down the sheet that appears and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add in the top right. The thisweek icon lands on your home screen.

The option lives in the Share sheet, so it is easy to miss — there is no banner or button on the page itself.

iPhone & iPad — Chrome, Firefox, Edge

  1. Open thisweek.food in that browser.
  2. Open the browser's own menu — ⋯ in Chrome, ☰ in Firefox, … in Edge.
  3. Tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.

On iPhone every browser installs the same app the same way; if the menu has no such item, open the page in Safari and use its Share sheet instead.

Android — Chrome

  1. Open thisweek.food in Chrome.
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu in the top right.
  3. Tap Add to Home screen.
  4. Tap Install on the prompt that follows.

If Chrome offers its own Install banner or shows an install icon in the address bar, either one does the same thing.

Android — Samsung Internet

  1. Open thisweek.food in Samsung Internet.
  2. Tap ☰ in the bottom right.
  3. Tap Add page to, then Home screen.
  4. Tap Add.

Android — Firefox

  1. Open thisweek.food in Firefox.
  2. Tap the ⋮ menu in the top right.
  3. Tap Install — older versions call it Add to Home screen.
  4. Confirm with Add.

Firefox only offers this on sites it can install, so the item is absent on a page it cannot.

Android — Edge, Opera, Brave, others

  1. Open thisweek.food in your browser.
  2. Open its menu and look for Install app, Install or Add to Home screen.
  3. Confirm with Install or Add.

Anything built on Chromium installs the app; the wording of the menu item is what differs.

Desktop — Chrome, Edge, Brave

  1. Open thisweek.food in Chrome or Edge.
  2. Look for the install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar — a screen with an arrow — and click it.
  3. Or open ⋮ → Save and share → Install thisweek.
  4. Click Install. It opens in its own window, with its own dock or taskbar icon.

Desktop — Safari on macOS

  1. Open thisweek.food in Safari.
  2. Choose File → Add to Dock from the menu bar.
  3. Click Add.

Safari 17 (macOS Sonoma) and later. On an older macOS, keep the page in a pinned tab instead.

After you install

  • Tap the icon and thisweek opens without a browser address bar.
  • Nothing was downloaded to your phone's app store, and nothing needs updating — the app is always the live site.
  • Sign in before you install if you want your lists waiting inside it. A list you started without an account lives in this browser, and signing in is what moves it into the app.
  • Uninstalling is the same as any other icon: press and hold it, then remove it. Your lists stay on your account.
