Getting Shadow Edge on web, iPhone, Android, and your computer

Shadow Edge runs in your web browser and as an app on iPhone, iPad, and Android, with Mac and Windows apps coming soon. Everything stays in sync, so you can start a practice session on your laptop and pick it up on your phone later. Here's how to get it on each one.

The quickest way to install on a phone. Open the Download page — you'll find the App Store and Google Play links, direct downloads, and a QR code you can scan with your phone's camera to jump straight to the right store.

On the web — nothing to install

The quickest way to start is right in your browser. There's nothing to download.

Go to webapp.shadowedge.app.
Sign in, or create a free account if you don't have one yet.
That's it — pick something from the ready-to-practice library on the Home page and start practicing, or add a source of your own.

The web version works in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) on a computer, phone, or tablet. If you want a faster way back in, bookmark the page or — on most browsers — choose "Add to Home Screen" to keep it one tap away, just like an app.

Tip. If you only practice occasionally, the web version is all you need. The apps below mainly add convenience — a home-screen icon, smoother recording, and offline practice on paid plans.

On iPhone or iPad

The Shadow Edge iOS app is available now. You can install it two ways:

Open the App Store and search for Shadow Edge — or, on your device, open the Download page and tap the App Store link (or scan the QR code with your camera).
Tap Get to install, then open the app.
Sign in with the same account you use everywhere else.

On Android

The Shadow Edge Android app is available now, on Google Play and as a direct download:

Open Google Play and search for Shadow Edge — or open the Download page on your phone and tap the Google Play link (or scan the QR code).
Tap Install, then open the app and sign in.

Prefer to install the app file directly? The Download page also offers a direct APK download for phones that don't use Google Play. Only install it from that official page.

On Mac Available soon

The Mac app is on its way and isn't available just yet. For now, you can use Shadow Edge in any browser on your Mac at webapp.shadowedge.app — everything works the same, with nothing to install. We'll post it on the Download page as soon as it's ready.

On Windows Available soon

The Windows app is on its way and isn't available just yet. For now, you can use Shadow Edge in any browser on your PC at webapp.shadowedge.app — everything works the same, with nothing to install. We'll announce the Windows app here as soon as it's ready.

One account, everywhere. You sign in with the same email and password (or Google/Apple) on every device. Your library, transcripts, and practice history follow you automatically — there's no separate setup on each device.

Which one should I use?

Just trying Shadow Edge out? Use the web version — it's instant and needs no install.
Practice on the go? The iPhone and Android apps give you a home-screen icon and the smoothest recording experience. Grab either from the Download page.
Long sessions at a desk? Use the web version on your Mac or PC for now — it works well with a good microphone. Mac and Windows apps are coming soon.
