Peanuts is a Progressive Web App (PWA), which means you can install it directly from your browser—no app store required. Once installed, it works just like a native app with its own icon on your home screen.
Peanuts automatically detects your device and shows the right instructions. Visit peanutsapp.com/install on your device to get started.
