Install on Android

You can install Hydrate on your Android device like a regular app. You'll need the Chrome browser.

Option 1: automatic prompt

Chrome may automatically offer to install Hydrate. A banner will appear at the bottom of the screen saying "Add Hydrate to Home screen". Tap "Install" — and you're done.

Option 2: manual installation

If the banner didn't appear, you can install the app manually.

  1. Open Hydrate in Chrome

    Open the Hydrate app in Chrome on your Android device.

  2. Open the browser menu

    Tap the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome to open the browser menu.

  3. Select "Install app"

    In the menu, find "Install app" (or "Add to Home screen"). Tap it.

  4. Confirm the installation

    In the dialog that appears, tap "Install".

  5. Done!

    The Hydrate icon will appear on your home screen and in the app drawer. Tap it — the app will open in full screen, just like a regular mobile app.

Please note

The installed app stores data separately from the browser. If you previously used Hydrate in Chrome, your records won't transfer automatically — you'll start fresh.

However, clearing Chrome history won't affect the installed app's data.
