How to install HomeHQ
🪟 Install on Windows
- Download the installer. Click the button above. The file is called
HomeHQ-Setup-x.x.x.exe(about 95 MB) — wait for the download to finish. - If your browser shows a warning such as "This file isn't commonly downloaded" or "This file may be dangerous", click ⋯ and choose Keep. The warning appears only because the app is new — the file comes straight from homehqth.com.
- Open the downloaded file. Press Ctrl + J to see your downloads, then click the HomeHQ-Setup file.
- If a blue "Windows protected your PC" window appears, click More info, then Run anyway.
- Install. Click Next → Install → Finish (no administrator rights needed). The app opens on its own and adds a desktop shortcut.
- Sign in. Click "Continue with Google" or use the email and password you signed up with · New employees click "Join organization" and enter the 8-character invite code from their manager.
- Turn on your mic the first time. If Windows asks for permission, click Allow. The app updates itself automatically — no need to download it again.
🍎 Use HomeHQ on a Mac
- Download the
.dmgfile and double-click to open it. - Drag the HomeHQ icon into the Applications folder in the window that opens.
- Open it for the first time. Go to the Applications folder, then right-click (or Control-click) HomeHQ → Open → Open. If it still won't open, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway.
- Allow the microphone and camera by clicking Allow when your Mac asks.
- Screen sharing: the first time, your Mac asks for permission. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording, turn on HomeHQ, then quit and reopen the app.
- Sign in with Google or the same email you signed up with.
The Mac app is coming soon — in the meantime, every feature works in your browser (the 3D office, walk-up conversations, meetings, screen sharing, attendance and leave) with nothing to install.
- Open homehqth.com/app in Google Chrome (recommended) or Safari.
- Sign in with Google or the same email you signed up with.
- Allow the microphone and camera by clicking Allow when your browser asks.
- Screen sharing: the first time, your Mac asks for permission for your browser. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording, turn on Chrome (or Safari), then quit and reopen the browser.
- Open it like an app. Chrome: ⋮ menu → Cast, save, and share → Install page as app · Safari: File menu → Add to Dock
📱 Mobile: clock in and request leave (no install)
For branch and on-site staff, and anyone who wants to clock in from their phone.
- Open homehqth.com/m on your phone (or scan the QR code your manager sent — the invite code is filled in for you).
- Sign in with Google or email, then enter the invite code to join your company.
- Add it to your home screen. iPhone (Safari): Share button → Add to Home Screen · Android (Chrome): ⋮ → Add to Home screen
🛠 Troubleshooting
I downloaded the file but can't find it
Press Ctrl + J (Mac: ⌘ + Option + L) to open your downloads, or look in the Downloads folder — the installer's name starts with HomeHQ-Setup.
My antivirus blocks the file
The installer comes straight from homehqth.com. If your antivirus blocks it, choose "Allow" or add an exception, then run the installer again.
My mic doesn't work / others can't hear me
Windows: Settings → Privacy & security → Microphone → turn on "Let desktop apps access your microphone" · In the app, pick your mic under Settings → Audio · Walk up close to your teammates to join the same conversation circle — people outside the circle can't hear each other.
Screen sharing doesn't work on my Mac
Grant permission in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording for HomeHQ (or the browser you use), then quit and reopen it.
I can't sign in / forgot my password
