Numa Radio · Installable Web App

Put Numa
on your
home screen.

Numa installs from your browser — no app store, no signup. Once it's on your home screen it behaves like any audio app: full-bleed, lock-screen controls, background playback.

Launches full-bleed

No browser chrome, no URL bar. Just Numa.

Lock-screen playback

Track metadata and controls on your lock screen, same as Apple Music or Spotify.

Keeps playing in background

Switch apps, lock your phone, take a call. Audio doesn't stop.

Instant updates

No app store review queue. New features land the moment we ship them.

Pick your
device.

Three short steps on whatever you use. The destination is the same: Numa, one tap away, every time.

Questions we get

Wait,
but —

Is this a real app?

Functionally, yes. It's a Progressive Web App, which means it installs from the browser instead of an app store but behaves like any native audio app — lock-screen controls, background playback, home-screen icon, all of it.

Why no App Store version?

We'd rather ship updates the day we write them than wait for a review queue. The web gets us there faster, and you get new features sooner.

Does it use data when the screen is off?

Only while you're actively listening — same as Spotify. Around 60MB per hour at our default 192kbps stream. Lock the phone, keep listening.

Can I uninstall it?

Same way as any app — long-press and remove. Nothing is stored locally beyond a tiny bit of player state.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Open it, hit play. Requests and shoutouts work without an account too.

What if Add to Home Screen isn't showing?

Open the page in your real browser — not in-app browsers like Instagram or X, where the option is hidden.
