T.LY Mobile App
We're excited to share that T.LY now has a native mobile app!
Update July 26, 2026: The native T.LY app is now live for iPhone and iPad and Android. You'll need a T.LY account to use it, so register for free first, then install the app and sign in with your login.
Install on the App Store
The native app is the best mobile option for managing links, checking clicks, and watching QR scan activity from your phone or tablet. T.LY also works well through a Progressive Web App (PWA) if you want a home-screen shortcut without another app download.
What’s a PWA?
A Progressive Web App is a modern web technology that allows you to install a website directly onto your phone’s home screen. Once added, it looks and feels just like a native app:
- You get a one-tap shortcut from your home screen
- It opens in a clean, app-like window without the browser bar
- It runs fast and smoothly, just like a mobile app
How to Add T.LY to Your Home Screen
Here’s how you can install T.LY as a PWA in just a few seconds:
- On iPhone (Safari):
- Visit T.LY in Safari
- Tap the Share button
- Select Add to Home Screen
- On Android (Chrome):
- Visit T.LY in Chrome
- Tap the Menu (three dots)
- Select Add to Home Screen
That’s it! You’ll now see the T.LY icon on your home screen, and it will open like an app.
Why We Chose This Approach
We still want to keep T.LY simple, lightweight, and accessible from any device. The native app is now live for iPhone, iPad, and Android, and the PWA remains a good option when you want mobile convenience without another app download.
