While we are still developing our mobile app for Android, you can still easily download a lightweight desktop app that takes up very little space, and updates automatically.

Here's a quick video showing you how to Install Pencil:

Once you’ve logged into your Pencil account and entered my.pencilapp.com, you’ll see a series of icons appear on your browser’s search bar.

Click on the “Install Pencil” icon located to the left of the “Share” icon.

Once you’ve clicked on this icon, a pop-up window will appear that asks if you want to install the Pencil app. Click on the blue “Install” button to confirm the installation.

After confirming the installation, the Pencil app will automatically open and close your tab. You will be able to find the app via a desktop shortcut on your home screen, making it easy for you to instantly access Pencil!

If you have any other questions for us, don't hesitate to reach out by clicking the "Help" button in Pencil Spaces, or by emailing [email protected].
