Install overview

Browser install keeps rollouts simple
without app store gatekeeping

Fire Door App ships as a progressive web app (PWA). Teams add it from Safari, Chrome, or Edge while signed in — the same install flow as the modal inside the product.

01 Coverage
Desktop and mobile
One workspace in the browser — laptop, tablet, and phone. No separate “mobile SKU”; the same record follows inspectors onto site.
02 Shortcut
Home screen and dock
Install adds an icon that opens in its own window where the browser allows — quick access without a store download.
03 Delivery
Faster iteration
Updates ship on the live site so security and feature fixes are not blocked behind app store review — matching the in-app install messaging.

Opens the same step-by-step panel used in the product (detects your browser).

Why a PWA

Why browser install
instead of the App Store or Google Play

Store releases wait on Apple and Google review. We deploy to our servers instead — so when we fix an issue or ship a feature, teams pick it up on their next session without a new marketplace download each time.

01 In short

That is the main reason we are not on the App Store or Google Play: we do not want fixes and improvements stuck behind someone else’s approval queue. You install once from the browser — optional home-screen or desktop shortcut — and that shortcut keeps opening the live Fire Door App. Routine updates are ours to publish; you are not pulling a fresh store update for every change.

  • The headline reason: Apple and Google review every store release, which slows security patches and product work. Shipping as a website install avoids that gate.
  • After install, the shortcut still points at the same web app. When we deploy an update, you get it on your next open or refresh — not after store approval plus a manual “Update” in the marketplace.
  • Rollout stays a URL and sign-in; IT can allow-list HTTPS like any other web app — see the comparison below for the full picture.
Compare

PWA vs traditional store apps
three differences that matter to IT

Fire Door App is distributed as a website install, not a marketplace package — here is how that shows up in practice.

Fire Door App

Browser install (PWA)

Distribution

Install from the website while signed in on a supported browser.

Updates

We publish to the live service; your shortcut or tab loads the current version on the next visit — no store review wait and no new marketplace download for every release.

IT & MDM

Standard HTTPS access; allow-list the site and optional managed browser policies.

Traditional

App Store / Google Play

Distribution

Download from Apple or Google’s store, tied to store accounts and policies.

Updates

Each release is submitted for review; users depend on store update prompts and may stay on older builds until they update.

IT & MDM

Often distributed via MDM or store licences alongside OS policies.

By device

Step-by-step install paths
for the browsers your teams already use

Labels vary by OS version — use Open install guide above for live detection. These steps mirror what we show inside the product.

iOS
iPhone & iPad (Safari)

Safari is required for “Add to Home Screen” on iOS.

  • Open Fire Door App in Safari and sign in if prompted.
  • Tap the Share button, then “Add to Home Screen”.
  • Confirm the name and tap Add; launch the icon like any other app.
In-page guide
Android
Android (Chrome)

Chrome usually offers the clearest install flow; other Chromium browsers may vary.

  • Open the site in Chrome (HTTPS) and sign in.
  • Use “Install app” or “Add to Home screen” from the browser menu when it appears.
  • If you see an install banner, follow it; otherwise use the ⋮ menu.
In-page guide
Desktop
Desktop (Chrome or Edge)

Firefox and Safari on desktop may not offer the same one-click install; use the in-page guide for manual steps.

  • Open Fire Door App in Chrome or Edge on a secure (HTTPS) connection.
  • Look for the install icon in the address bar or use the browser menu’s install / app option.
  • Confirm install; the app opens in its own window and stays in your applications list.

Rollout notes

IT sign-off and day-two use
after the shortcut is on the device

Share the comparison above with security reviewers, then use these notes for policy conversations and field onboarding.

01 IT & security
Notes for IT and security teams
Access is over HTTPS to our production domain. There is no separate executable from an app marketplace — users install from the browser while authenticated. If you use content filtering or SSL inspection, allow-list the Fire Door App host and ensure inspection does not break service workers. For device policies, prefer managed browser allow lists and standard PWA guidance for your platform.
02 After install
After you install
Use the home screen or dock icon to open the app. Stay signed in for the fastest start on site; the install modal’s “Where it shows up” section describes how your platform surfaces the shortcut. If anything looks wrong after a major browser update, open this page again and use “Open install guide” to refresh steps.
Install questions

Straight answers
before you roll the app out

Distribution, updates, and whether install is optional — aligned with the in-product install guide.

PWA install 4
The main reason is store review: every App Store or Play release sits in a queue, which delays fixes when you need them quickly. We ship as a progressive web app so we publish updates to our servers instead — you install once from the browser (optional shortcut), and the live app updates when you next use it, with sign-in aligned to your web account and SSO rather than separate store installs.
No. The installed app and the browser tab use the same underlying application. The install shortcut is a convenient, app-like shell with offline-friendly caching where the browser allows it.
Yes. You can use a normal browser tab on desktop or mobile. Install is optional and mainly improves quick access and standalone window behaviour where supported.
Some browsers or enterprise profiles hide install prompts. Use the “Open install guide” button on this page for device-specific manual steps, or continue in the browser — core functionality does not require installation.
You can use Fire Door App in a normal browser tab without installing. Updated 7 Apr 2026
