Installing EvoFit on Your Phone

Add EvoFit to your home screen as a native-feeling app.

What this is for: Use EvoFit like a native app — no browser bar, push notifications, offline mode.

What's a PWA

EvoFit is a Progressive Web App. You install it once and it lives on your home screen like any native app — no App Store needed.

Install on iPhone (Safari)

> Must be Safari, not Chrome on iOS.

  1. Open https://trainer.evofit.io in Safari.
  2. Log in.
  3. Tap the Share button (square with up arrow at the bottom).
  4. Scroll to Add to Home Screen and tap.
  5. Confirm. The EvoFit icon appears on your home screen.
  6. Tap the icon — it opens in standalone mode (no browser chrome).

Install on Android (Chrome)

  1. Open https://trainer.evofit.io in Chrome.
  2. Log in.
  3. Chrome usually shows an Install app banner at the bottom — tap it. If not:
  4. Tap the menu (three dots top right) → Install app or Add to Home Screen.
  5. Confirm.
  6. Tap the icon to launch.

Push notifications

After install, the app asks for notification permission.

  1. Tap Allow.
  2. EvoFit registers a push subscription.
  3. You'll get notifications for:
  • New workouts assigned by your trainer
  • Check-in reminders
  • Schedule changes (cancelled / rescheduled appointments)
  • Direct messages from your trainer (when in-app messaging ships)

To disable: device Settings → Notifications → EvoFit Trainer → toggle off.

Biometric login

Skip typing your password — log in with Face ID / Touch ID / fingerprint.

  1. Open /profile/edit → Biometric Settings.
  2. Click Enable Biometric Login.
  3. Your phone prompts to register a passkey.
  4. Confirm.
  5. Next login, EvoFit shows Sign in with passkey as a button.

Offline mode

The app keeps working without internet (with caveats):

  • Reads recently-viewed pages from cache.
  • Queues writes (set logs, meal logs, measurements) locally.
  • Syncs everything when back online.

Common pitfalls
