Edited

Overview

This article goes over installing the Front app on your computer, phone, or tablet. Whether you're working at your desk or on the go — everything stays in sync! Actions you take in one place will instantly be reflected across all your Front apps.


Instructions

Installing Front on desktop

Step 1

Visit Front's download page and download Front’s desktop client. Front's desktop client should be downloaded by the user themselves.

Step 2

Open the downloaded file and double-click the Front logo to begin.

Step 3

Enter your Front account information to log in once you’ve installed the app. If you don’t have an account, ask your Front administrator to invite you.

Installing Front on your phone or tablet

Step 1

Download the Front mobile app for your device from the App Store or Google Play.

Step 2

Open the app and enter your Front account information to log in. If you don’t have an account, ask your Front administrator to invite you.

Machine-wide installation

If your IT team is rolling Front out across managed machines, use the machine-wide installers for Windows and Mac rather than the standard per-user download.

  • The standard download from front.com/download installs Front for the current user only.

  • Windows admins can choose between the EXE and MSI installers depending on their deployment tooling.

  • In shared or terminal-server environments, you may also want to disable auto-updates so the app version stays consistent for all users.


FAQ

Do I need to download the app to use Front?

No. The Front app is optional. You can also access your Front account on the web at https://app.frontapp.com.

What if my app doesn't open?

The most reliable fix is a clean reinstall: fully quit Front, delete the application, then re-download and reinstall it from front.com/download. Sign back in with your Front credentials once it reopens.
