Ada is now a one-tap install on Android, and once it's installed, it shows up in the share sheet of every other app on your phone. YouTube, Chrome, Twitter, Instagram, your email: share to Ada, and it's handled.

We shipped this without an APK, without a Play Store listing, and without you having to trust a new binary on your device. It's all built on web standards.

Install Ada on Android in 10 seconds

Open tryada.app in Chrome on your Android phone.
Tap the menu (three dots, top right).
Tap Install app (or Add to Home screen on older Chrome).
Confirm.

That's it. Ada now lives next to your other apps, opens in its own window without browser chrome, and runs offline for the parts that don't need the network.

If you want to skip the menu hunt, Chrome will usually pop a small "Install" chip in the address bar after a few visits. Either path lands you in the same place.

Share to Ada from any app

Here's the part that actually changes how you use the phone.

Once Ada is installed, Android registers it as a share target. So when you're in any app and tap the share icon, Ada shows up in the list alongside Messages, Gmail, and the rest. Tap it, and whatever you were looking at (a tweet, a YouTube video, a recipe, a ticketing page, a screenshot) gets saved to Ada.

Ada then does its thing in the background: classifies the content, extracts the structure (event date, venue, recipe ingredients, job listing, whatever it is), and suggests the next action. Add to calendar. Set a reminder. Apply. Save the recipe. You see the suggestion the next time you open the app, or never, if you just wanted to file it away.

No typing. No "let me describe what I'm looking at to the AI." The thing you're sharing is the prompt.

Why this matters more on Android than iOS

On iOS, share extensions are a privileged native feature: you have to build and ship a real native app to register one. That's coming, but it's not here yet.

On Android, the equivalent (Web Share Target) is a web standard. Once we declare it in our PWA manifest, Chrome installs Ada as a real share target the same way a native app would be. No platform tax. No store review. We push a change to the manifest on Friday and your share sheet has the new behavior on Saturday.

That's a big deal. It means the iteration loop on Android is the same loop we run on the website: minutes, not weeks.

What works offline

Because Ada is a PWA, the core app shell loads instantly even when you're on a flaky connection. Your inbox cached from your last visit shows up immediately. New saves queue locally and sync when you're back online.

If you really lose signal mid-share, you'll see Ada's offline page, but the share itself is captured the moment you tap. We just can't classify it until the network is back.

What this isn't (yet)

A few honest caveats:

iOS Safari doesn't support Web Share Target. This is an Apple gap, not ours. For now, iOS users can use the bookmarklet to save from Safari in one tap. A proper iOS app is in the works.
Push notifications aren't on by default. They will be soon. The plumbing is there; we're holding the rollout until we've earned the permission ask.
Some apps don't honor the system share sheet. If you can't find Ada in YouTube's share menu, that's because YouTube routes its own share UI internally. Tap the URL once it's in your clipboard or open the link in Chrome first.

Try it

Open tryada.app on your Android phone, install, and try sharing the next thing that catches your eye to Ada instead of saving it to Notes or texting it to yourself.

If something feels off, reply to the welcome email. We read every one.
