Getting Started

Installing CatchMate on your phone

CatchMate is a Progressive Web App — it runs in your browser but can be installed on your home screen so it feels and behaves like a native app, including offline support for active sessions.

iPhone / Safari

  1. Open app.catchmate.fish in Safari
  2. Tap the Share button (box with arrow at the bottom)
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen
  4. Tap Add — the app icon appears on your home screen

Android / Chrome

  1. Open app.catchmate.fish in Chrome
  2. Tap the three-dot menu (top right)
  3. Tap Add to Home Screen or Install App
  4. Tap Install

Important: Always open CatchMate from the installed home screen icon rather than typing the URL directly. This ensures offline features and session persistence work correctly.
