Install Rydya

On every device your team already carries

Rydya is one system. The same workspace, the same data, whether you open it in a browser, install it on a phone, or run the Windows app. Nothing to buy from an app store, and nothing extra to learn.

Start here

It starts in your browser

Rydya runs in any modern browser, and installs to a home screen or Start menu from there in one tap. Your workspace has its own address, given to you when your organisation is set up, and the Install button lives on it.

Talk to us if you do not have a workspace yet.

If the prompt does not appear

Installing it by hand, per device

The Install button above does this for you on Android, Windows and Mac. Use these if you are on an iPhone, where Apple provides no install button at all, or if your browser decided not to offer one. However it gets there, it updates itself, so nobody chases a version number.

iPhone and iPad

  1. Open your workspace in Safari, which is the reliable route on iPhone.
  2. Tap the Share button, the square with an arrow coming out of it.
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.

Android

  1. Open the app in Chrome.
  2. Tap the three-dot menu, then Add to Home screen or Install app.
  3. Confirm. It lands in your app drawer like anything else.

Windows and Mac, from the browser

  1. Open the app in Chrome or Edge.
  2. Click the install icon at the right-hand end of the address bar.
  3. Confirm. It opens in its own window, with no browser tabs or address bar.

Why does Install send you to your workspace first?

Because a browser will not let one site install another. The install prompt belongs to the page being installed, so it can only appear once you are on your own Rydya workspace, and a site offering to install an app for some other address is doing something you should not accept. So the button takes you there and the prompt appears on arrival. On an iPhone there is no prompt to appear at all: Apple has never supported it, and the Share sheet is the only route.

Desktop application

For the people who live in it all day

A native window instead of a browser tab. It opens on the sign-in screen, and straight into your dashboard once you are signed in. Useful for a biomedical office or a front desk; unnecessary for anyone who is happy with a browser.

Windows

Not yet published

Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit. The installer needs no administrator rights: it installs for your user account only, and adds Rydya to your Start menu.

The Windows installer is built but not yet published for download. Use the browser or install it on your phone in the meantime, both give you the same product.

macOS

Not built yet

Rydya has not been built for macOS. We are not going to pretend otherwise: the desktop app is built per platform, and only the Windows build exists today.

Nothing to download yet. On a Mac, install Rydya from Chrome or Edge using the steps above, which gives you a real application in its own window and the same features as the desktop build.

What your computer will say when you install it

The desktop installers are not code-signed yet, so your operating system cannot confirm who published them and will warn you. This is expected, and worth knowing before your browser calls the file suspicious.

On Windows
A blue “Windows protected your PC” screen. Choose More info, then Run anyway. If your organisation blocks unsigned software, your IT team will need to allow it.
On macOS, once it exists
Right-click the app and choose Open, rather than double-clicking it, then confirm. A double click will simply refuse.

If unsigned software is not acceptable in your environment, and it often is not in a hospital, use the browser or the phone install instead. Neither triggers any of this.

Which one should your team use?

Technicians and nurses
Install it on the phone. Scanning a QR code on a machine needs a camera, and the field screens are built to keep working when the signal does not.
Biomedical and operations staff
Whichever you prefer. The desktop app is worth it if Rydya is open beside your other work all day; otherwise a browser tab is genuinely no different.
Anyone reporting a fault
Nothing at all. Scanning the QR code on a piece of equipment opens a report form in the browser, with no account and no install.
