Platform Support
Scrolly is a PWA (Progressive Web App). Feature support varies by platform.
Comparison
| Feature | Android | iOS (16.4+) | Desktop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Install to home screen | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Share target (share sheet) | Yes | No | No |
| Push notifications | Full (images, actions) | Text-only, PWA required | Full |
| Background sync | Yes | No | Yes |
| Offline fallback | Yes | Yes | Yes |
iOS Limitations
- No share target — PWAs cannot register as share targets on iOS. Use the iOS Shortcut integration or paste links in-app.
- Push notifications — Only work when the PWA is installed to the Home Screen (not from Safari). Text-only, no images. Requires iOS 16.4+.
- No silent push — Push notifications require a visible, user-facing notification.
- No background sync — The app cannot sync data in the background.
Android
Android provides the broadest PWA support:
- Share directly from any app's share sheet to Scrolly
- Full push notification support including images
- Reliable background sync
- Deeper hardware and gesture integration
Desktop
Chrome, Edge, and Firefox on desktop support:
- PWA installation
- Full push notifications
- Offline fallback
Recommendations
- Android users — Install the PWA and enable share target for the best experience.
- iOS users — Add to Home Screen from Safari to enable push notifications.
- All users — Enable notifications in Settings for real-time alerts.
