How to install
The button above works in most browsers. If your browser does not offer the install dialog, here are the manual steps – it takes three taps.
Android
Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet, Opera
- Tap the Install Nollan button above. If nothing happens, continue below.
- Open the browser menu (⋮) in the top right corner.
- Choose Install app or Add to home screen.
- Confirm. Nollan now sits among your other apps, with its own icon.
iPhone & iPad
Safari (required, Chrome on iOS cannot install)
- Open nollan.se in Safari. Other browsers on iOS are not allowed to install web apps.
- Tap the share button (the square with an arrow) in the toolbar.
- Scroll down and choose Add to Home Screen.
- Tap Add. Nollan opens full screen, without the Safari address bar.
Windows, Mac & Linux
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera
- Click the Install Nollan button above.
- Or click the install icon (a screen with an arrow) at the right-hand end of the address bar.
- Choose Install. Nollan gets its own window, no tabs and no address bar.
- It shows up in the Start menu / Launchpad and can be pinned to the taskbar or dock.
Firefox & other browsers
Firefox, older browsers
- Firefox on the desktop does not support installing web apps – Nollan works fine as a normal tab.
- Firefox on Android: menu (⋮) → Add to Home screen.
- Everything works either way. Installing only adds the icon, the full-screen view and offline support.

Why there is no App Store or Google Play version
Nollan is a progressive web app. That is a normal website which the browser is allowed to install like a native app: it gets an icon on your home screen, opens full screen without the address bar, and keeps working when you are offline. The technology is built into Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux – no store is involved at any point.
Skipping the stores is a deliberate choice, and it is better for you as well as for me. You avoid creating an account, granting a list of permissions and waiting for downloads. I avoid the 30 percent cut, the review queues and the arbitrary rules – which means a fix I write in the morning is live for you in the afternoon, instead of a week later.
The trade-off is honest to state: because there is no store listing, nobody finds Nollan by searching an app store. It spreads by people sharing the link. If you like it, that is the single most useful thing you can do – send nollan.se to someone.
Common questions
Is Nollan free?
Yes. The whole dashboard – clock, weather, name day, sunrise, payday countdown and the Companion – is free and always will be. Premium is optional and unlocks extras such as unlimited cities, electricity prices, pollen levels, themes and a customisable dashboard.
Why is Nollan not on Google Play or the App Store?
Because it does not need to be. Nollan is a progressive web app, which means the browser itself installs it. You skip the stores, the 30 percent cut, the review queues and the account requirement – and I can ship an update the same day I write it. You get exactly the same app.
Is it safe to install an app outside the stores?
Nothing is downloaded to your system in the traditional sense. The browser saves the site and runs it in the same sandbox as any other web page, so it cannot reach your files, your contacts or anything else. Installing is closer to a very good bookmark than to installing a program.
How much space does it take?
Under a megabyte. For comparison, a typical app from an app store is 50 to 200 MB.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The clock, the date, the name day, the Companion and the last loaded weather all work without a connection. Fresh weather naturally needs the internet.
Does it update itself?
Yes, automatically. There is no update button and no version to keep track of – the app fetches the latest version the next time you open it while online.
How do I uninstall it?
Exactly like any other app: long-press the icon and choose remove (phone), or Settings → Apps (computer). Nothing is left behind.
Do I need an account?
No. Nollan has no login and no user accounts. Your cities, your payday and your Companion are stored on your device, not on a server.
