The app on your phone

Install RenovU on your phone, tablet or computer, get notifications there, and keep working when you lose signal.

Por ahora, los artículos de ayuda están en inglés. El resto de RenovU está en tu idioma.

RenovU works in any modern browser, and you can also install it from the browser as an app. There's nothing to download from an app store: the installed app opens from your home screen or desktop in its own window, without the browser around it, and starts on your dashboard.

Installing#

On Android and on a computer, install it from Settings, under App, with Install RenovU in Chrome or Edge. On an iPhone or iPad, add it to your Home Screen from Safari's Share menu. The steps are in Install RenovU.

Working offline#

RenovU keeps what you open on each device, so when you lose signal you can still read your dashboard, projects, tasks and shopping list as this device last saw them. A banner at the top says you're offline. With Premium or Professional, the changes you make offline are kept on the device and sent when you're back online. A cloud icon in the header shows what's waiting.

What each plan gets#

  • Every plan: installing the app, reading what you've opened while offline, and ticking materials bought on the shopping list while offline
  • Premium and Professional: making other changes offline, such as editing tasks, logging time, adding expenses and materials, and uploading photos later

These are the current defaults. See Pricing for the up-to-date list.

Notifications on your phone#

Browser notifications reach your phone even when RenovU isn't open. On an iPhone or iPad, install RenovU first: Safari only allows them for apps on the Home Screen. See Get notifications on your phone.

Preguntas

Is RenovU in the App Store or Google Play?

No. You install it from your browser instead: from Safari's Share menu on an iPhone or iPad, or with Install RenovU in Settings on Android and computers. See Install RenovU.

Can I use RenovU without signal on the Free plan?

Yes, to read. On every plan you can see what you opened on this device and tick materials bought on the shopping list. Making other changes offline is part of Premium and Professional. See Use RenovU offline.

How do I update the installed app?

You don't need to. It updates itself, and when a new version is ready RenovU says so: select Reload to start using it.

Why can't I install RenovU in my browser?

Not every browser can install web apps. Use Chrome or Edge on a computer or Android phone, or Safari on an iPhone or iPad. You can still use RenovU in any modern browser without installing it.

Can I tick off the shopping list in a shop with no signal?

Yes, on every plan, including Buy all. Ticks are kept on your phone and sent when you're back online. Adding to the list or recording part of an item bought offline needs Premium.

Will changes I made offline on my phone show on my laptop?

Only once they're sent. Until then they're kept on your phone only. The cloud icon in the header shows whether anything is still waiting.

Why can't I log out while I'm offline?

Logging out ends your session on RenovU's side, which needs a connection. Logging out also deletes what's saved on the device, including changes not yet sent, so RenovU waits until you're online and asks first if anything's waiting.

How much space does RenovU use on my phone?

Up to 50 MB for the screens and photo thumbnails it saves for offline, plus any photos waiting to upload. App in Settings shows how much is used on this device.
