Install SC2 Tools: desktop app or web app

Windows desktop Companion

For replay syncing, download the current stable Windows agent and link your account. Companion includes an interactive scouting desk, embedded build selectors, Session and Build Order Ghost. These panels work without OBS and have a master assistance switch plus individual controls. Randomize in check-in saves one build even without an open widget; its visuals, sounds and speech stay in the browser or OBS widget. See Desktop Companion.

The browser installation below adds the website as a separate app window. It gives you the dashboard on phones and computers; it does not install the Windows replay-sync service or native in-game panels.

Install from inside the app

On a phone, open More → Install app. On desktop, use Install app below the Settings sidebar tabs. A supported browser opens its install prompt, or shows the manual steps below. This row disappears after installation, inside the installed app, or when the browser cannot install it.

What happens offline

When you navigate without a connection, You're offline explains what happened and offers Try again. Games need a connection; the desktop app keeps your replays and uploads them when you're back. Only this self-contained offline page is cached, never your account data, API responses or page responses. OBS overlay and Dock sources keep their normal reconnect behavior.

SC2 Tools works in any browser, and you can also install it like an app. The installed app opens in its own window without the address bar, starts on Today or the Default tab you chose in Settings, and keeps you signed in. The Today shortcut always opens Today. It is the same site with the same data, so there is nothing to sync.

On Android

1. 1
   Open SC2 Tools in Chrome.
2. 2
   Tap Install app on the banner on the home page, or open Chrome's ⋮ menu and tap Install app (on some phones it says Add to Home screen).
3. 3
   Confirm. SC2 Tools appears on your home screen and in your app list.

On iPhone or iPad

1. 1
   Open SC2 Tools in Safari.
2. 2
   Tap Share (the square with an arrow pointing up).
3. 3
   Scroll down, tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add.

If you opened the install steps in another iOS browser, open the page in Safari first. Then use Share → Add to Home Screen.

On a computer

1. 1
   Open SC2 Tools in Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
2. 2
   Click the install icon at the right end of the address bar, or choose Install in the browser's menu.
3. 3
   SC2 Tools opens in its own window. Pin it to your taskbar or Dock like any other app.

Shortcuts

The installed app has four shortcuts: Today, Opponents, Replays and Stream settings (your overlay links for OBS).

• Android: touch and hold the SC2 Tools icon.
• Windows: right-click SC2 Tools in the taskbar or the Start menu.
• iPhone and iPad don't show shortcuts for apps added from the browser.

Updates

The app updates itself. When a new version is ready, Update available appears at the bottom of the screen. What changed opens the changelog without applying the update. Reload switches to it now, so save any edits first. Later hides the message for this browser session.

Installed it before this update?

Older installs open on the home page and have no shortcuts. Remove SC2 Tools from your device and install it again to get them. Your account and data are not affected.

Remove the app

Remove it like any other app on your device. Your account, replays and settings stay on SC2 Tools; only the shortcut to it goes away.
