Your studio.
Beyond the browser.

Install Arch-iD on your home screen or desktop. Open the portfolio, offline library and encrypted notebook in their own app window.

Open offline studio

Choose your device below. Your first visit and archive download require an internet connection.

Preparing the offline app…

01 / Install on your device

One app. A familiar way in.

Android

Open this site in Chrome. Tap Install app above when available, or open Chrome’s menu and choose Install app or Add to Home screen. Confirm installation.

iPhone & iPad

Open this site in Safari. Tap Share, then Add to Home Screen (you may need to scroll). Leave Open as Web App enabled if shown, then tap Add.

Windows

Open this site in Edge or Chrome. Use Install app above, the install icon in the address bar, or the browser menu’s Apps / Install this site as an app option. Pin Arch-iD to Start or your taskbar after installation.

Mac

In Safari on macOS Sonoma or later, choose File → Add to Dock. In Chrome or Edge, use the install icon in the address bar or the browser’s app installation menu.

Linux & other browsers

Chrome and Edge support desktop installation. In browsers without app installation, bookmark the offline studio and return to it in the same browser.

02 / Prepare for offline use

Save first. Travel next.

  1. Visit https://www.archid.co.uk while online. It opens https://archid.co.uk; bookmark that final address for offline visits. Keep this page open until the offline app is ready. Automatic preparation downloads approximately 50 MB of public website resources.
  2. Open the offline studio and choose Save public archive for the additional archive images and documents. Public pages and their local images, styles and scripts are saved automatically. Wait for the download count to finish.
  3. Turn off your connection and reopen the app to check your saved portfolio and notebook.

The public archive and deliberately saved notebook or project snapshots work offline. Sign-in, live projects, file downloads and account sync need a connection. Use the same browser and device for saved work; private browsing and clearing site data can remove it.

03 / Installation format

A desktop icon, a dedicated window.

This is a browser-installed web app. Your browser downloads and manages it, including updates and removal. No App Store or Play Store download is needed.

A separate Windows .exe installer and native mobile store packages are not available here. On Windows, Chrome or Edge installs Arch-iD directly from this website.
