Firefly Reels on a phone

Installable as an app, with a REST API underneath for native clients.

Open it →

### It installs

Firefly Reels is a progressive web app. On iOS, Share → Add to Home Screen; on Android, Chrome offers

Install directly. It then launches without browser chrome and appears in the app switcher like any

other app.

### The layout is not a shrunk desktop

Below 768px the navigation becomes a bottom tab bar with a More sheet — bottom rather than top,

because a thumb reaches the bottom of a phone and does not reach the top of a large one. It respects

the home-indicator safe area.

Watching, browsing, searching and the forum are all designed for the phone. The Studio surfaces work

on a phone but are honestly better on a larger screen: a timeline, a node graph and an infinite canvas

are all things you will want a mouse for.

### What does not work offline

Nothing generative. Every generation is a server round trip, so an installed app with no connection

can show you what is cached and cannot make anything new.

### For native clients

There is a versioned REST API under /api/v1 — the capability manifest, the Theater feed, forum

threads and help search are all public endpoints. It is the same API the agent platform uses; see

[the agent API](/help/agent-api).
