Smart Order Capture
Get started

Install the Android app

Two ways to install — direct APK (recommended) or Google Play. They install as separate apps, but both pair with the same account.

Direct APK (recommended)

Download the latest signed APK from smartordercapture.com/download. On first run, the app configures an in-app updater that checks for new versions once every 24 hours and prompts you to install — same UX as Play Store auto-updates, faster turnaround.

The applicationId for the direct build is com.smartordercapture.direct.

Note
Android will block the install the first time and surface a prompt to allow your browser to install unknown apps. This is a one-time toggle and can be revoked after install.

Play Store

Search smartordercapture on the Play Store or open the direct link from the download page. Distribution there is gated behind Google's Permissions Declaration policy for Accessibility apps — the listing makes the accessibility framing explicit and we surface the same disclosure flow on first launch.

The applicationId for the Play build is com.smartordercapture.

The Accessibility disclosure flow

Both builds open into a three-step onboarding flow. The middle step asks you to enable our AccessibilityService through Android Settings. The disclosure explains:

  • We only act on workflows you author at smartordercapture.com.
  • We never read screen content silently — only when an action you authored asks for it.
  • Workflows targeting gig-delivery, ticket-scalping, or ad-network packages are blocked.
  • You can revoke the permission in Android Settings at any time.

Verifying the install

After install, the app icon appears in your launcher and a persistent notification appears once you arm at least one workflow. The notification confirms the foreground service is running and the engine is ready.

Migrating between channels

Heads up
The direct APK and Play Store builds are two different applications from Android's perspective. Switching between them requires uninstall + reinstall; your cloud account stays intact, but you'll need to re-pair the new install and re-enable the Accessibility service.

Updating

  • Play Store: handled automatically by Play. You'll see the new version on next launch.
  • Direct APK: the in-app updater prompts you within 24 hours of a release. You can also force a check from Settings → About.
