Install Kanera

Kanera has a great experience through the web app. It is not available to download from the app stores, but it is easy to install on your mobile phone, tablet, or desktop from your browser.

After installation, Kanera opens in its own app-like window with the Kanera icon.

Before you start​

You need:

  • The Kanera web address: https://board.kanera.app.
  • A Kanera account.
  • A supported browser.

For self-hosted teams, use your own Kanera URL instead. For example, your address may look like https://kanera.yourcompany.com.

Android​

Chrome on Android usually gives the clearest install flow.

  1. Open Chrome.
  2. Go to your Kanera web address.
  3. Sign in if prompted.
  4. Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner.
  5. Tap Add to Home screen or Install app.
  6. Confirm the name Kanera.
  7. Tap Add or Install.

Kanera appears on your home screen or in your app drawer. Open it from that icon instead of opening a browser tab.

iPhone and iPad​

On iPhone and iPad, install Kanera from Safari. Other browsers on iOS may open Kanera, but Safari is the reliable place to add it to the Home Screen.

  1. Open Safari.
  2. Go to your Kanera web address.
  3. Sign in if prompted.
  4. Tap the Share button in Safari.
  5. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  6. Keep the name Kanera, or rename it if your team uses a custom name.
  7. Tap Add.

Kanera appears as an icon on your Home Screen. Open Kanera from that icon for the installed app experience.

If you do not see Add to Home Screen, make sure you are in Safari, not inside another app's built-in browser. If Kanera opened from an email, chat app, or password manager, copy the address, open Safari directly, and paste the address there.

Windows​

Use Chrome to install Kanera on Windows.

  1. Open Chrome.
  2. Go to your Kanera web address.
  3. Sign in if prompted.
  4. Click the install icon in the address bar if Chrome shows one.
  5. If there is no install icon, click the three-dot menu.
  6. Choose Save and share.
  7. Click Install page as app.
  8. Confirm the name Kanera.
  9. Click Install.

Kanera opens in its own window. You can pin it to the taskbar or Start menu from Windows like any other installed app.

Troubleshooting​

If Kanera does not install:

  • Check that the address starts with https://. Browsers usually require a secure connection before they offer app installation.
  • Open Kanera in the main browser app, not an in-app browser from email, chat, or social apps.
  • Refresh the page after signing in, then check the browser menu again.
  • On iPhone or iPad, use Safari and the Share menu.
  • On Android or Windows, use Chrome and look for Install app, Add to Home screen, or Install page as app.

If you already installed Kanera but it opens in the browser, delete the old Home Screen shortcut or pinned item and install it again from the browser menu.
