Keep your field guide close.
Add Afterlight news to your home screen, then save the latest articles before you need them offline. This is an installable web app, not a native App Store or Google Play release.
One site. Ready for your phone.
Offline downloads require HTTPS and a browser with service-worker support.
On iPhone or iPad
Open the site in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. If offered, enable Open as Web App. Open the new icon and download the latest articles while connected.
On Android or desktop
Use the install button when available, or the browser’s Install app / Add to Home Screen menu.
What works offline
A completed download saves the articles published at that time, plus field guides, the map and household tools, on this device. Saved articles keep their dates; they do not update themselves while offline. Forum activity, sign-in and external source pages require internet. Browsers may remove cached files under storage pressure, so verify your download before relying on it.
