Install Godo on your phone (app)

Godo can be installed like an app: an icon on your home screen that opens full screen, without the browser bars. It works for everyone who signs in: admins, staff and employees using the portal. There is nothing to download from an app store.

Android (Chrome)

1. Open your company's Godo address in Chrome and sign in.
2. On Home, tap Install on the "Install the app" card at the bottom. (Or open Chrome's menu ⋮ › Install app / Add to Home screen.)
3. The icon appears on your home screen.

iPhone or iPad (Safari)

1. Open your company's Godo address in Safari and sign in.
2. Tap Share (the square with an arrow).
3. Scroll and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.

Open Godo from the new icon. To get phone push on iPhone, turn it on from inside the installed app (iOS 16.4 or newer). See Notifications: the bell, email and phone push.

Computer

In Chrome or Edge, click the install icon at the right of the address bar.

Good to know

• Opening the app takes each person to the right place: staff to their Home, employees to their portal.
• Not now on the install card hides it for 30 days on that phone. It never shows inside the installed app.
• No signal? The app shows an offline page with Try again. Clock in once you are back online; if you missed a punch, file an attendance correction.
• Privacy: payslips, PDFs and other records are never saved on the phone. Only the offline page and the icon are.
• To remove it, delete the icon like any app.

How to tell it's installed

• After you tap Install, the card says Installed. You're all set when it worked, or Not installed if you cancelled.
• Look for the icon on your home screen (phone) or in your apps list or desktop (computer). Opening it shows Godo full screen, with no address bar.
• If you open the website in your browser later, the card may say already installed on this device. Open Godo from its icon instead.
• iPhone: Safari has no Install button. Follow the 3 taps on the card, then open Godo from your home screen. On iPhone the website can't tell that you already added it, so you may still see the steps.
• Facebook, Messenger or Viber: these apps can't install it. Open the page in Chrome (Android) or Safari (iPhone) first.
• Don't see the card? It shows only on Home, and not for 30 days after you tap Not now. You can always use your browser menu: Install app or Add to Home screen.

For admins: Settings › App

• Installable app (PWA): turn the app on or off for your company. Off: no install card, phones that installed it open the normal website next time, and phone push stops. Email and the bell keep working.
• App name: shown under the icon. 12 letters or fewer shows best. Blank uses your company name.
• App colour: the phone's status bar and splash screen. "Same as brand" follows your brand colour.
• App icon: a square PNG or JPG, 512 × 512 is best. Blank uses your logo, or your first letter.
• "Install the app" card on Home: show it to Staff, Employee portal, or both.
• Phone push notifications: on or off for the whole company. Which events push is set in Settings › Notifications.

Phones pick up a new name or icon the next time the app is opened; some phones need it re-installed.
