Open the Candy AI web app
Start in an up-to-date browser on your phone, tablet or computer. If your phone supports a home-screen shortcut, you can add one to reopen Candy AI without finding the browser tab each time.

Sign in from your usual browser
Visit our website and use the sign-in controls to open your account. Desktop access works through the browser; visiting Candy AI on a computer does not require an Android emulator.
Adding an icon gives you another way to open the same web app. Your account and subscription stay the same, and the shortcut does not provide offline AI chat.
Add an icon without downloading a package
Use the browser's home-screen option for our web app. You do not need an APK file or an app-store installation to take this route.
Check where a download comes from before trusting its name or logo. A matching store result is not proof that we released it, and browser access does not require a third-party package.
Find your phone's home-screen option
For iPhone, open Share in the browser and select Add to Home Screen. For Android, open the browser's three-dot menu, then select Add to Home Screen.
Look for the browser's own install or home-screen command if your menus differ. Browser and system versions can change the wording; a download button elsewhere is not the same command.
Check your connection and account separately
Stay connected when using account conversations or generating media: the home-screen icon still opens an online service. Browser preferences, including saved characters, can be stored locally rather than with your account content.
After moving to another browser, compare the signed-in account with your purchase details if paid access looks different. Locate the existing subscription before paying for another one.
Questions and answers
How do I open Candy AI like an app on my phone?
Open our web app in your mobile browser and use its Add to Home Screen option where supported. This route needs neither an APK nor a native app-store download.
Do I need an emulator for a PC or Mac?
No emulator is needed to visit our website. Open it in a desktop browser and sign in to the account you want to use.
Can the home-screen version chat without an internet connection?
The shortcut does not add offline conversations or generation. Those actions still need access to our online service.
