No app store needed
Install FilmCollectr
FilmCollectr works as an app: add it to your home screen for a full-screen experience, an app icon, and offline access to pages you've already visited. It's the same site — nothing to download, and it updates itself.
Already installed — you're running FilmCollectr as an app.
On Android
- Tap the Install app button above if it appears.
- Or open your browser menu (⋮) and choose Install app / Add to Home screen.
- Confirm, and FilmCollectr appears on your home screen.
On iPhone & iPad
- Open FilmCollectr in Safari.
- Tap the Share button (the square with an up-arrow).
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
On desktop
- In Chrome or Edge, click the install icon in the address bar.
- Or use the Install app button above.
What you get
- The scanner, one tap away. Barcode scanning runs full-screen with no browser chrome in the way — much easier when you're working through a shelf.
- Works offline. Pages you've already visited stay readable without a connection, so you can check your collection in a shop with bad signal.
- Stays signed in. Sign in once inside the installed app and you stay signed in, just like a native app.
- Shortcuts. Long-press the icon to jump straight to adding a film, your shelf, or the marketplace.
Installing needs a secure connection (https). If the button doesn't appear, your browser either doesn't support it or you've already installed it — the manual steps above always work.
