Install the app on your phone or computer
Add Good Steward Money to your home screen or desktop so it opens in its own window, and what you see offline.
Updated November 10, 2026
Installing adds Good Steward Money to your phone's home screen or your computer's apps. It then opens in its own window without browser bars.
On your home screen the app is labelled "Money". Its icon is a white sprout on a green tile. When you start the installed app, a short Good Steward Money intro covers the first screen. Select it or press any key to skip it. The key does nothing else. It does not play over the sign-in page or the other pages you see while signed out, or when your device is set to reduce motion.
Install on a computer or an Android phone
Use Chrome, Edge or another browser that offers installing.
- Select Settings in the sidebar (on a phone, select More, then Settings).
- Find the Install card below Trash.
- Select Install app.
- Confirm the prompt your browser shows.
Good Steward Money now opens in its own window.
Install on an iPhone or iPad
- Open Good Steward Money in Safari.
- Select Share.
- Choose Add to Home Screen.
On an iPhone, the Install card in Settings shows the last two steps: Share, then Add to Home Screen.
If the Install card is missing
The card is hidden when:
- Your browser does not offer installing.
- You opened Good Steward Money from the installed app.
- You already selected Install app on this page.
Shortcuts
If your device supports app shortcuts, the installed app offers two: Add transaction and Budget. Add transaction opens Transactions on All accounts with the Add row open (on a phone, the Add transaction form). Budget opens the Budget page.
When you are offline
Good Steward Money needs an internet connection, and installing does not change that. If your device cannot reach it, the app shows a page headed "You’re offline" and says your budget data is safe on the server. Select Try again after your connection is back.
You cannot view or change your budget while offline.
