Why web‑only on mobile?

Fast, private, and always up to date

No storage bloat: nothing to install; saves your phone’s space and avoids background app creep.

Better privacy: your browser controls permissions; share only when you choose.

Instant access: scan the QR and you’re in—no app store login, updates, or friction.

Always fresh: you automatically get the latest version every visit.

Battery friendly: no push daemons or heavyweight background processes.

Works everywhere: Android, iOS, and desktop without separate installs.
