Release status
Desktop and Android: getting ready for release.
Use Al-Haytham in your browser today. The Windows and Android apps are not open for public download yet.
Available now: the web app
Al-Haytham runs in your browser, with nothing to download. You can also install it as an app: its own window and icon on your desktop or home screen, without the browser bar.
Install in one click
On Chrome, Edge or Brave (desktop or Android), install Al-Haytham as an app straight from this page:
Your browser doesn’t offer one-click install. Use the steps under Install it by hand on this page.
Already signed in? The installed app opens right at your workspace.
What you get
- Its own window
- A clean, full-screen app with no tabs or address bar, opened from your dock, taskbar or Start menu.
- On your phone too
- Add it to your home screen and it opens like any other app, themed in the Al-Haytham green.
- Always current
- It is the same web app, so you are always on the latest version. There is never an update to install.
Install it by hand
- Chrome or Edge (desktop): open the browser menu and choose Install Al-Haytham, or click the install icon in the address bar.
- Safari (iPhone or iPad): tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- Android (Chrome): open the menu, then tap Add to Home screen.
The desktop and Android apps
Each app opens to the public only when all five of its checks are complete. Checked on 15 October 2026.
Windows desktop app
2 of 5 checks complete
Now: Waiting for a publisher certificate. The installer is built. A Windows publisher certificate and checks on a signed install come next.
- Complete
Installer built
Version 1.0.3 was built on 15 October 2026 with the AH app icons.
- Complete
Update feed signed
The update feed is signed, so copies of 1.0.2 already installed update themselves.
- Next requirement
Publisher certificate and signing
The installer has no Windows publisher (Authenticode) certificate yet, so Windows warns before it installs.

An install and an update from a signed installer have not been checked yet.
- Pending
Public release approval
The owner approves before the download opens to everyone.

The owner approves before the app is offered to everyone.
How to read this
It is a checklist, not a countdown. A check is marked complete only when it has been done and verified. No release date is set. Until then the web app does everything the apps will do. New to Al-Haytham? See the engines or talk to sales.
