Trefnus is designed for small to medium-sized businesses and professionals who need a reliable, secure, and easy-to-use solution. It provides the features and flexibility required to manage work efficiently without the complexity or cost of larger enterprise systems.

How do I install the app?

To install the app, you will be provided with a host link and password. Using Google Chrome, simply open the link, log in with your credentials, and follow the prompts to add the app to your device. Once installed, it will be accessible from your home screen or desktop like a regular app.

Can I use Trefnus on multiple devices?

Yes. You can use Trefnus on multiple personal devices. Simply access the app using your host link and password on each device, and install it using the install icon in the Chrome address bar. We ask that licence keys are not shared, resold, or distributed to others to ensure fair use for all customers.

What happens if I change or replace my device?

If you change or replace your device, you can continue where you left off by exporting your data from the old device and importing it to the new one. Use the export and import buttons located in the app header to move your data securely and easily.

Can I use the apps offline?

Yes. Once the app has been installed and used for the first time, it can be accessed offline. After the initial setup, key features and content are stored on your device, allowing you to continue using the app even without an internet connection, although some features may require connectivity to stay fully up to date.

Who We Are, Where We Came From, and Where We’re Headed

We started out like many businesses, paying for software subscriptions for almost everything we did. Over time, the cost, complexity and constant dependence on third-party platforms became frustrating and restrictive.

So we built our own tools. We focused on creating practical, reliable business apps that did exactly what we needed, without ongoing fees or unnecessary features. Using modern web technology, we designed tools that were simple to access, easy to maintain and built to last.

Today, we offer those tools to you for a fair, one-off payment. This approach is a core principle of our business and it shapes every product we make. We believe software should work for you, not lock you into endless subscriptions, and that belief will continue to guide everything we build in the future.

What is a PWA

A Progressive Web App, or PWA, is a modern app that installs directly from the web and works across phones, tablets and computers. Unlike native apps, it does not require an app store download or manual updates, and it uses less storage space. PWAs install in seconds, stay up to date automatically and continue to work even with limited or no internet connection. They offer the convenience and feel of a native app, with easier access, broader compatibility and lower ongoing effort for your business.

Getting started

Start using your business app in minutes. Our Progressive Web Apps work across modern devices and operating systems. They are simple to purchase, quick to install and ready to use straight away. No app store required.

PWA Technology

Support & Reliability

Yes, in most cases.Trefnus apps are Progressive Web Apps that run safely in Google Chrome. Many small and medium-sized businesses use them on both personal and company-managed devices.If your organisation has strict policies, your IT administrator can usually whitelist our domain. We’re happy to provide any technical documentation or security overview your IT team requires.Tip: You can begin using the full app right away in a normal Chrome browser tab - no installation is required for core functionality.

Although the app runs in a browser, it uses special web technologies that allow it to store essential files and data directly on your device during the initial install. When you open the app offline, the browser loads these saved resources instead of fetching them from the internet. This makes the app behave more like a traditional installed app, allowing core features to work without a connection, while online access is only needed for features that rely on live data or syncing.
