Summary: Install Zira as an app on mobile, tablet, and desktop for my.zira.us, op.zira.us, and tv.zira.us.
Updated: 2026-07-12

Zira runs in your browser, but you can also install it as an app on your phone, tablet, or computer. Installing gives you a faster, full-screen experience and makes features like push notifications work more reliably.

Zira comes in a few variants, each on its own address. Install whichever one matches how you use Zira:

- **my.zira.us** — the main Zira app for everyday work on mobile and desktop.
- **op.zira.us** — the [Operations App](/docs/operations-app/overview) for operators, usually installed on a tablet in kiosk mode.
- **tv.zira.us** — the [TV App](/docs/tv-app/overview) for large screens above work centers.

The install steps are the same for each address — just open the address you want before installing.

## Install with the built-in prompt

When you open Zira in a supported browser, it may show an **Install Zira App?** prompt.

1. Open your Zira address (for example, `my.zira.us`).
2. When the **Install Zira App?** prompt appears, click **Install App**.
3. Follow your browser's confirmation to add Zira.

If you dismissed the prompt with **No Thanks**, you can still install Zira manually using the steps below.

## Install on Android (Chrome)

1. Open your Zira address in Chrome.
2. Tap the **⋮** menu in the top right.
3. Tap **Install app** or **Add to Home screen**.
4. Confirm to add Zira to your home screen.

## Install on iPhone or iPad (Safari)

1. Open your Zira address in Safari.
2. Tap the **Share** button.
3. Tap **Add to Home Screen**.
4. Tap **Add** to confirm.

On iPad, this is the usual way to set up **op.zira.us** for operators.

## Install on desktop (Chrome or Edge)

1. Open your Zira address in Chrome or Edge.
2. Look for the **Install** icon in the address bar, or open the browser menu.
3. Click **Install Zira**.
4. Confirm to add Zira as a desktop app.

Once installed, Zira opens in its own window and can be pinned to your taskbar or dock.

## After installing

- Zira opens full screen, without the browser address bar.
- Sign in the same way you do in the browser.
- Allow notifications when asked so push notifications work. See [Follow a Channel & Get Notified](/docs/channels/follow-a-channel).

Each address keeps its own session, so signing in to `my.zira.us`, `op.zira.us`, and `tv.zira.us` does not affect the others.

## Tips

- Install the address that matches the device: `my.zira.us` for personal phones and computers, `op.zira.us` for operator tablets, `tv.zira.us` for shared screens.
- If you do not see an install option, make sure you are using a supported browser and are on the Zira address, not a shared link.
- Reinstalling is safe — your data lives in your account, not on the device.
