### What Is This?

Install PageCrawl on your Android phone like any other app, then share any webpage to it directly from Chrome's share menu. The URL pre-fills automatically, so you can start monitoring in two taps.

### Step 1: Install PageCrawl on Your Phone

PageCrawl works as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on Android. Once installed, it gets its own icon, opens without a browser bar, and shows up in the Android share sheet alongside apps like WhatsApp, Gmail, and Twitter.

To install:

1. Open Chrome on your Android phone
2. Visit [PageCrawl.io](https://pagecrawl.io) and sign in
3. Tap the **menu** (three dots in the top right)
4. Tap **Install app** (or **Add to Home screen**)
5. Confirm the install

PageCrawl will now appear on your home screen and in your app drawer.

### Step 2: Share a Page to PageCrawl

Open any page you want to monitor, in any app that has a Share button (Chrome, Firefox, news readers, X, Reddit, etc.):

1. Tap the **Share** button
2. Tap **PageCrawl** in the share sheet
3. PageCrawl opens with the URL pre-filled
4. Adjust the monitoring options and tap **Save**

That's it. No copy-pasting URLs.

### Example: Track a Product Price from the Chrome App

Say you are browsing a product on your phone and want to be alerted when the price drops:

1. In Chrome, open the product page (for example, `https://competitor-store.com/product/wireless-headphones`).
2. Tap the **Share** button, then tap **PageCrawl** in the share sheet.
3. PageCrawl opens with the URL already filled in. Pick the **Price** tracking mode so PageCrawl watches the price value rather than the whole page.
4. Tap **Save**. The next time the price changes, you get a notification on the same phone.

The same two-tap flow works from other apps too: share a Reddit thread from the Reddit app to watch for new replies, or share a job listing from LinkedIn to be alerted when it changes.

### Why You Need to Install First

The Android share sheet only lists installed apps. Until you install PageCrawl as a PWA, it won't appear as a share target. Once installed, it works like any native app for sharing.

### Sharing Without Installing

If you don't want to install the app, you can still add pages quickly using our [bookmarklet](/bookmarklet). Add it to your Chrome bookmarks, then tap it when you're on a page you want to monitor.

### Tips

- **Pin to favorites**: Long-press PageCrawl in the share sheet and pin it so it appears at the top.
- **Stay signed in**: Sign in once and stay signed in so shared pages open straight to the monitor setup screen.
- **Works from any app**: Any Android app that exposes a Share button can send to PageCrawl, not just Chrome.

### Using an iPhone Instead?

iOS doesn't support installing apps as system share targets the same way Android does. iPhone users should follow our [iOS Safari shortcut guide](/help/tutorials/article/add-page-from-ios-safari.md) instead.
