Devices
ChromeOS does not need another install format. Quorly installs from Chrome itself: one web app, its own window, an icon in the launcher, and it keeps working when the Wi-Fi does not. No Play Store round trip, no Linux container, no account.
After that it behaves like any other Chromebook app: pin it to the shelf, open it with the launcher, close it like a window.
| Route | What it costs you |
|---|---|
| Install the web app | Three clicks, no extra runtime, updates itself with the site |
| Play Store app | Needs an Android build; Quorly does not ship one |
| Linux container | Several setup steps and per-folder sharing; only needed for native Linux builds |
There is nothing to keep up to date by hand, because the app is the site.
Once the page has loaded and the service worker has cached it, writing, formatting and exporting all work without a connection — including after a browser restart. Two things still need the network: the first visit, and picking up a new version of the app.
If you write somewhere with no signal at all, install it before you leave.
localStorage, the library in IndexedDB. They belong to that profile on that device..md, .pdf or .quorly file lands in Downloads or in your Drive folder..quorly package keeps the document and its images. Local Sync writes one file per document into a folder you choose; Pro Cloud Sync keeps a copy in your own Google Drive.The desktop app runs on Windows (.exe), macOS (.dmg) and Linux (.AppImage) for people who want a separate window and a separate store from the browser. The builds are unsigned, so the OS warns on first launch. The download page has each file and the first-launch notes.
Questions
No. Quorly is a web app, installed from Chrome. There is no Android app and no Linux container to set up.
Yes, once the page has loaded and been installed. Writing, formatting and exporting happen locally. The first load and later updates need a connection.
No. Drafts are stored in the browser profile on that Chromebook. Export a .quorly file, sync a folder with Local Sync, or use Pro Cloud Sync to keep a copy outside the device.
It depends on the admin policy. Managed devices can block web app installs or clear the browser profile on sign-out. If the install option is missing, the policy is why; the editor still works in a normal tab.
