Install Right Now X as an app on any device

Right Now X is a Progressive Web App, which means the site itself can be installed — no store, no installer, no background services you didn't ask for.

On desktop Chrome or Edge, open www.rightnowx.com and look for the install icon in the address bar (a small monitor with an arrow), or open the browser menu and choose “Install Right Now X” or “Save and share → Install”. Confirm, and the app appears in your applications list and opens in its own window.

On Android, open the browser menu and tap “Add to Home screen” — most browsers will offer the full app install from there. On iPhone or iPad, use Safari's Share button and choose “Add to Home Screen”.

The installed app launches standalone with its own icon. Core pages stay available even on a flaky connection, and updates arrive automatically — our service worker never pins an old version of the interface.

A note on honesty: browsers deliberately limit what websites may do. We can't force a desktop shortcut, change your operating system wallpaper, or autoplay sound — and we won't pretend otherwise. What we can do is a first-class install, a real fullscreen preview, and downloads you can set as wallpaper yourself in two clicks.
