Get NOX on iPhone & iPad
// short version: install TestFlight, then open the NOX invite — two taps, about a minuteWhat you'll need
An iPhone or iPad on a recent iOS/iPadOS, plus Apple's free TestFlight app. NOX for iPhone is currently a public beta delivered through TestFlight — Apple's official tool for trying apps before they reach the App Store. It's free, safe, and the whole thing takes about a minute. The full App Store release is in Apple's review queue.
Step 1 — Install TestFlight
- Open the App Store and install TestFlight (or tap Get TestFlight above).
- It's a free, official Apple app. Nothing to set up — it uses the Apple ID you already have.
- You only do this once. If you already have TestFlight, skip to Step 2.
Step 2 — Join the NOX beta
- On your iPhone or iPad, tap Open the NOX beta invite (the button above, or the link below).
- It opens in TestFlight and shows the NOX beta. The invite auto-admits — there's no waiting for someone to approve you.
- Tap Accept, then Install. NOX downloads like any other app.
Step 3 — Open NOX and sign in
Launch NOX from your home screen. Create an account with just a username — no phone number, no email — or tap See it live to try the demo with no account first. When you sign up, you'll get a six-word recovery phrase: save it somewhere safe (a password manager is ideal), because it's the only way back into your account.
Keeping NOX up to date
TestFlight tells you when a new NOX build is ready — just open TestFlight and tap Update. One quirk of betas: each build expires after 90 days. If NOX ever refuses to open, reopen the invite link and you'll get the newest build.
On a Mac?
A native macOS desktop app is still in the works. In the meantime, NOX runs fully in any browser on your Mac — and you can make it feel like a real app:
- Open app.nox-chat.com in Safari.
- Add it to your Dock (macOS Sonoma and later): File → Add to Dock, or the Share button → Add to Dock. You get a NOX icon that opens in its own window.
- On older macOS, just bookmark it — or use Chrome/Edge's Install app option for the same standalone-window effect.
Troubleshooting
- "The invite opened a web page, not the app." You don't have TestFlight yet — do Step 1 first, then tap the invite again.
- "It says the beta is full." Email support@nox-chat.com and we'll make room — the cap is generous and we lift it as needed.
- "NOX won't open / says the beta expired." Reopen the invite link to grab the latest build, or update from inside TestFlight.
- "I'd rather not install a beta." Open app.nox-chat.com in Safari and tap Share → Add to Home Screen — you get a NOX icon with no TestFlight involved.
- "How do I leave the beta?" In TestFlight, open NOX → Stop Testing. You can rejoin any time with the same link.
