“Installing” Compassly on a computer as a web app
Is there a desktop app you can install for Windows or MacOS?
Compassly does not directly have an app that you can install through the Microsoft Store or the Apple Mac App Store. We haven’t had an enormous demand for creating them, with most users preferring to access directly through the web browser.
If you have a particular need for a desktop app on either Windows or MacOS, please feel free to Contact us to let us know more.
Depending on your IT setup, you may be able to install Compassly as a web app through Chrome or other browsers.
