fomo on the web and desktop

Same account, same wallets, a different set of buttons. And a browser has risks a phone app does not.

Short answer

fomo has no downloadable desktop app in any of its own pages; on a computer you use the web app at fomo.family, announced on 29 April 2026. Sign in with the same Apple ID or Google account as on your phone and you get the same wallets, cash balance and positions. Token and perps trading work on the web, but card, Apple Pay and bank deposits and bank withdrawals are mobile-only: on the web you deposit and withdraw USDC.

The short version

fomo’s help centre describes three ways to use fomo: the iOS app, the Android app, and the web app at fomo.family. There is no Windows or Mac download in any of fomo’s own pages. On a laptop or desktop, the web app is fomo’s desktop version, and it was announced on 29 April 2026.

You sign in with Continue with Apple or Continue with Google. Use the same account as on your phone: a different one does not open your account, it creates a new, separate one with its own empty wallets. If the web shows a sign-up prompt even though you used the right account, fomo says to tap through it; it loads your existing account.

In practice: fund and cash out with your phone if you need a card or a US bank, and use the web for a bigger screen. Quick buy on Discover skips the price impact review that the token page shows, so on small, thin tokens it can fill far from the price you expected.

A browser is a bigger target than an app

fomo’s own security checklist has a separate section for the web, for good reason. A signed-in browser tab can be read and acted on by anything else running in that browser.

fomo recommends, and we agree:

  • Use a separate browser profile only for fomo, with no extensions and no other sites signed in.
  • Never run a bookmarklet (a bookmark that contains code) while signed in. Scam sites offer “tracker”, “sniper”, “claim” or “verify” buttons that you drag to the bookmarks bar; fomo says that button is a bookmarklet, and it can act inside your session without your login.
  • Type fomo.family yourself or use your own bookmark, rather than following a link or a search ad.
  • Never paste code into the address bar or the developer console.
  • Turn on PIN lock and multi-factor authentication under Settings, then Security.

If you arrive from a link and see fomo’s Security warning page, fomo has already signed you out of that browser. Its steps: delete cookies from the last 24 hours, delete any bookmarks you do not remember adding (especially ones starting javascript:), then sign in again from a fresh browser profile by typing the address.

“fomo desktop” downloads and lookalike sites

Search for “fomo desktop” and you will find third-party sites. Anything that asks you to download a desktop program, install an extension or connect a wallet is not from fomo’s own pages. fomo’s checklist says to “only use fomo.family and its subdomains”, and fomo has no feature for connecting your fomo wallet to other sites. A documented phishing copy of the site exists at fomoo[.]family. Our official links page lists every real address we could verify.

Questions people ask

Does fomo have a desktop app?

Not a downloadable one. fomo's help centre describes iOS and Android apps and the web app at fomo.family, which you open in any browser and sign in to with the same Apple ID or Google account you use on your phone. Treat any site offering a fomo desktop download as unofficial.

How do I log in to fomo on a computer?

Type fomo.family into the address bar and choose Continue with Apple or Continue with Google, using the exact account you signed up with. A different Apple or Google account creates a new, empty fomo account rather than opening yours.
