Android and web

Install KnowsYou

Two ways in: the Android app from Google Play, or the web app in any browser. Both use the same account and the same records — start with whichever is easier, you can add the other later.

Before you start

KnowsYou is free while in beta.

Create your account wherever you like — in the app itself, or here in a browser — with any email address or with Google. It is the same account and the same records either way. No card, at any point — what happens after the beta is written down in advance.

Android

Installing the app

It takes about a minute, and Google Play handles the whole thing — no warnings to click through, and updates arrive on their own from here on.

  • Open the Play listing on the phone. Tap Get it on Google Play above, or search for KnowsYou in the Play Store app.
  • Tap Install. Around 70 MB; it needs a 64-bit Android phone, roughly anything from 2017 onwards.
  • Create your account, or sign in.Both happen on the app's first screen — tap Create account, or continue with Google — and you land straight in the conversation. If you already made an account here in a browser, sign in with the same address.

Updates come from Play automatically. Smaller fixes arrive in the background and run the next time you open the app.

If you installed a beta build by hand

Android refuses to replace an app installed from a browser with one from Google Play — the signatures differ, so Play will simply not offer the install. Uninstall the old KnowsYou first, then install from Play. Nothing is lost: your records live on the server, and signing back in brings all of them with you.

Prefer not to install anything?

The web app is the whole product in a browser, on any phone or computer. The Android app adds native touches — quicker camera and voice, background activity tracking, system notifications — but nothing is missing on the web.

iPhone and iPad

There is no App Store build yet. Open the web app in Safari and use Share → Add to Home Screen: it then opens like an app, and it is always up to date. Notifications need iOS 16.4 or newer and work only after adding it to the Home Screen.

One account, both places

Sign in on the phone and in a browser with the same address and you are looking at one journal from two windows. A meal logged on the phone is on the web before you switch tabs.

Something went wrong?

An install that fails silently is almost always a mismatched email address or an older build still on the phone. Write to privacy@knowsyou.ai or reply to your invitation and say which step you got stuck on.
