When you’d use this

You want Harness one tap away, like any other app. Harness is a web app, so you add it from your browser, and it opens from its own Harness icon. Everything works in a normal browser tab too.

​
Install it

1

Open Harness in Safari

Go to app.harnesscalendar.com.
2

Open the Share menu

Tap Share , the square with an arrow pointing up.
3

Add it to your home screen

Tap Add to Home Screen , then Add. The Harness icon appears on your home screen.

​
What you end up with

Harness opens from its icon like any app: full screen on a phone, in its own window on a computer, with no browser bars. To remove it, delete the icon the way you’d delete any app. Nothing is lost, because your studio lives in Harness, not on the device.

​
On a phone

On a phone, a few screens are laid out differently:
  • The calendar shows the agenda only. The Day, Week, and Month grid, the Scheduling panel, and annotations are on tablets and computers.
  • The sidebar is tucked away. Tap the button at the top left of any page to open it.
  • The Notifications bell opens your inbox as a full page.
  • Student, contact, and account pages move their side panel into a Details tab.
  • Lists hide their search box.

​
For your families

Families can add the student portal to their own phones the same way. In the portal, the Add to your phone option in their account menu shows the steps for both iPhone and Android, so one parent can pass them on to the other. The portal installs with its own Portal icon and opens straight to their portal home.
