Install the CAP Mobile App — Civic Action Project

Install on your phone

Two minutes, no app store, no account. Once installed, it lives on your home screen like any other app.

iPhone & iPad

iOS 14 or later · Safari required

Open this page in Safari. If you're reading this in Chrome, switch to Safari first — Apple only allows installation through Safari.
Tap the Share button at the bottom of Safari (the square with an upward arrow).
Scroll down in the share menu and tap Add to Home Screen.
Confirm the name "CAP" and tap Add in the top-right corner.
Find the CAP icon on your home screen and tap to open. The app launches in full-screen mode — no browser bars.

Android

Android 8 or later · Chrome recommended

Open this page in Chrome. Samsung Internet and Firefox Mobile work too, but Chrome gives the smoothest install experience.
Look for an "Install app" prompt at the bottom of the screen. If you see it, tap Install and you're done.
If no prompt appears, tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of Chrome.
Tap Install app or Add to Home screen from the menu.
Confirm by tapping Install. The CAP icon appears on your home screen and in your app drawer.

Your work stays private

This app never sends your photos, videos, or written work to any server. Submissions go straight from your phone to Canvas through your phone's built-in share menu — exactly the same way you'd send a photo to a friend. The app stores only your progress (which assignments you've completed) in your phone's local storage.

What's inside

Every CAP assignment, every rubric criterion, and your progress — designed to fit in your hand.

Common questions

Is this on the App Store or Google Play?

No, and it doesn't need to be. CAP is a "Progressive Web App" — installs straight from your browser to your home screen. Faster to update, no account required, free of any ads or tracking.

Will it work without the internet?

After your first visit, yes. The app caches itself on your phone so you can browse rubrics anywhere. You'll only need a connection to actually submit something.

Does it replace the Canvas Student app?

No — they work together. CAP shows you the rubric and helps you capture your work. You still submit through Canvas Student (or Canvas web) so it lands in the gradebook.

What if I get a new phone?

Just open the URL on the new phone and reinstall. Your progress lives on whichever device you use, since nothing is stored in the cloud.

Something's broken or confusing.
