The ARVEMO apps
Which ARVEMO apps exist, what you need to run them, how you get them and what they do differently from the web.
ARVEMO runs in the browser and as native apps for the Mac, the iPhone and the iPad. All of them show the same workspaces; the apps add a few things that only a device can do.
Which apps exist?#
There is one ARVEMO app for Apple devices. It runs natively on the Mac, the iPhone and the iPad. There is no Android app and no Windows app. On those systems, use the web in a browser.
What do I need?#
macOS 26, iOS 26 or iPadOS 26, or newer. You also need an ARVEMO account; the beta is by invitation.
How do I get the apps?#
The beta apps are distributed through Apple's TestFlight. You get an invitation, open it with the TestFlight app and install ARVEMO from there. Apple handles TestFlight under its own privacy policy. Clients use the browser; the apps are in a closed beta by invitation. Sign-in works as on the web; see Signing in.
What can the Mac app do that the web cannot?#
- Menu bar: the triangle in the macOS menu bar shows whether Arvemo is working and a number. Click it for a short status and a field to ask Arvemo something without opening the window.
- Dock badge: advisors see the number of approvals waiting, clients the number of unread notifications. It is not the one number of the iPhone icon; see Notifications.
- Settings window (⌘,): your profile, notifications, devices, privacy and account. Advisors also find writing, agents, approvals and client workspaces there.
- Own windows: an object, a document or a presentation can open in a window of its own.
- Menus and keys: the Go and Help menus, with shortcuts such as ⌘J for the chat about the page.
What can the iPhone and iPad app do that the web cannot?#
- Push notifications (not on the Mac). The app asks once, when something arrives for you while it is open; you can also switch them on under Settings (your name at the foot of the menu). Push shows only a generic notice and a number.
- Widget on the iPhone: the number of what waits for you, and for advisors approvals, results and running work.
- Hold-to-speak bubble on the iPhone: hold the orange chat bubble to talk to Arvemo at once.
- Layouts for larger and folding screens: on the iPad the menu stays open as a column beside the page.
What can the web do that the apps cannot?#
The Tasks place exists only on the web. The Canvas place exists on the web and the Mac but not on the iPhone and iPad. The web needs no installation and works in a phone browser too, with a reduced set of places.
Do the apps work offline?#
No. The apps load your workspace from ARVEMO over the internet and need a connection. On the device they store settings such as appearance, column widths and what was last open, and your access key, which the system protects in its keychain. The apps do not keep your workspace for offline use.
Where do I find the version?#
On the iPhone and iPad, at the bottom of the Settings screen, which opens from your name at the foot of the menu. On the Mac, in the About window of the ARVEMO menu.
Common questions#
Is there an Android or Windows app? No. Use ARVEMO in the browser.
Do I need a separate account for the apps? No. You sign in with the account you use on the web.
Can I report a problem from the app? Yes; see Share an idea.
Does the app send my data anywhere else? Only to ARVEMO's servers in the EU, plus Apple for push notifications and, where the device cannot do it itself, speech recognition. See Data and privacy.
