The Android app
On an Android phone or tablet, get Mokxi from Google Play. The app is the same Mokxi as the website, full screen and without the address bar, with the same account and projects. It runs in Chrome under the hood, so it updates whenever the site does, with nothing to download again.
Buying in the app goes through Google Play: see the Android app.
There is no app in Apple's App Store. On an iPhone or iPad, add Mokxi to your home screen instead (below).
Nothing asks you to
Mokxi never shows a card or a prompt about installing. If you want an icon for it, your browser can add one whenever you choose, with the steps below.
Chrome and Edge on a computer
- Chrome: open the menu (the three dots), then Cast, save, and share, then Install page as app. The install icon at the right of the address bar does the same.
- Edge: open the menu (the three dots), then Apps, then Install this site as an app.
Mokxi then gets an icon, opens in its own window without the address bar, and behaves like any other app on the machine.
On a phone
- iPhone or iPad, Safari: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. If you see Open as Web App, leave it on, then tap Add.
- iPhone or iPad, Chrome: tap Share beside the address bar, then Add to Home Screen.
- Android, Chrome: get the app above, or open the menu, then Add to Home screen or Install app.
Safari on a Mac
Open File in the menu bar, then Add to Dock.
Firefox
Firefox on a computer has no install option for websites, so there is nothing to add there. Firefox on Android can add a home screen shortcut from its menu.
Working offline
Installing alone does not make Mokxi work offline. Working offline is part of Pro: on a Pro plan, open Settings, then Billing, and press Make Mokxi work offline under Work offline. Pick the boards you build with to keep the download small; the size and the time left are shown, it can wait for Wi-Fi on a phone, and a dropped connection carries on where it stopped.
Works offline: the editor, every part and built-in example, the simulator, compiling and MicroPython for the boards you download, the schematic and PCB views, exports, and saving on the device. Mokxi AI, sharing, live collaboration and syncing to your account need the network.
Projects you save while offline stay on the device and sync to your account when you are back online. If the same project also changed somewhere else in the meantime, nothing is overwritten: you choose this device's version, the account's, or both.
Your Pro plan is checked when you are online and kept on the device for 14 days. After that, connect once to keep working offline; until then your projects still open, read-only.
Does it change anything else?
No. The app and an installed Mokxi are the same site in a window of its own, with the same account, the same projects and the same shortcuts. See keyboard shortcuts and working on a phone.
