Apps made by Anvil are Web Apps which you can publish to a URL or a Custom Domain of your own.

All Anvil Apps are Progressive web apps though which means that even though they are a website, they can installed on your phone or PC.

When you visit your app on the given URL, you will see a popup asking you to download on some browsers. Otherwise you can take a look at this post

Add to Home Screen on click

Recently, Anvil allowed downloading of anvil apps to the home screen which was a really cool feature. However, is it possible for me to achieve the same with a button click so that when users click on a button, the app will be installed? If you visit anvil forum on mobile, you will be able to see that Anvil has done something like that for themselves as well.

A couple of other possibilities, given the question.

If you’re talking about running the Anvil App locally, you want the open source Anvil runtime: https://github.com/anvil-works/anvil-runtime

If you’re talking about downloading a local backup of your code, you want to download a copy using Git: Anvil Docs | Git
