Installable Apps!

We are pleased to introduce installable apps!

We are utilizing a feature in browsers called Progressive Web Apps (PWA), which allows you to create shortcuts on your device direct to our services!

Try out Freedomain Podcasts as an installable app!

If you have access to our AI chats, they are also installable!
