Is the Skool mobile app free?

Yes. Both the iOS and Android apps are free to download. If the community you're joining is paid, you pay the community's subscription fee — the app itself is always free.

Can I download Skool videos to watch offline?

Only if the creator enabled downloads on that lesson. The toggle is per-lesson, not per-community. If your creator hasn't enabled it, you can't download natively. Asking them to flip the toggle is the right move; bypassing the streaming protection is usually a TOS violation.

Why can't I find Skool in the App Store?

Make sure you're searching the official store and that you spell it 'Skool' (not 'School'). The publisher should be Skool, Inc. Some regions have different app availability — if the app doesn't show, the web version always works at skool.com.

Is there a Skool download for Linux?

No native Linux app. The web version runs perfectly in any Linux browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave). You can install it as a PWA in Chromium-based browsers to get a windowed app experience.

Can I export my Skool members to a spreadsheet?

Yes — community owners get a CSV export in the admin panel. The native export is fairly basic (name, email, join date). For a richer export with engagement metrics and churn-risk flags, [tools4skool](https://tools4skool.com)'s Member Export feature pulls more fields directly from your Skool session.

What's the file size of the Skool app?

Both iOS and Android apps weigh in around 50–100 MB depending on version. They update regularly through the App Store and Google Play. Auto-update is recommended — older versions occasionally lose access to newer features.

iOS and Android apps

Skool ships official mobile apps for both iOS and Android. Both are free downloads. They cover most of what the web app does — feed, posts, comments, courses, calendar, DMs, leaderboard, notifications.

iOS: search "Skool" in the App Store. The official one is published by Skool, Inc. Recent versions support iOS 14 and up.

Android: search "Skool" in Google Play. Same publisher. Android 8 and up.

A few things are still web-only and don't show up in the apps: billing settings, Stripe connection, advanced admin config, some analytics views. For day-to-day member behaviour the apps are full-featured.

Notifications work properly — the app pushes when someone comments on your post, replies to your comment, DMs you, or mentions you. You can tune notification frequency per-community in Settings.

Need a Skool community to begin with?

14-day free trial — no card required. Most community owners decide whether Skool fits within the first week.

Skool on PC, Mac, and Linux

There is no official desktop app for Skool. No Windows installer, no .dmg for Mac, no Linux package. If you find one online, treat it as suspicious — it's not from Skool.

Skool runs in any modern browser. Performance is good in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The full feature set (admin, billing, analytics, course building) is available in the browser.

Practically speaking, the browser version is the desktop version. Most community owners run it as a pinned tab in Chrome, which makes it feel app-like. If you want the closer-to-native feel, install it as a PWA (next section).

1
Install on iOS
Open the Apple App Store, search 'Skool', tap Get on the official app published by Skool, Inc.
2
Install on Android
Open Google Play, search 'Skool', tap Install on the official Skool, Inc. app.
3
Use on PC or Mac
Open any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and go to skool.com. There's no separate desktop installer.
4
Pin as a desktop PWA
In Chrome on PC or Mac, open skool.com, click the install icon in the address bar to add Skool as a Progressive Web App. It opens in its own window like a native app.
5
Download a course video
Most creators disable downloads. If yours allows it, the lesson page will show a download icon under the video. If not, ask the creator — bypassing this is usually a TOS violation.

The PWA trick — Skool as a desktop app

Skool is a Progressive Web App, which means Chrome, Edge, and Safari can install it as a standalone window on your desktop. That gives you a Skool icon in your dock or Start menu, opens in its own window without browser chrome, and feels like a native app.

In Chrome on Windows or Mac:

1. Open skool.com and log in. 2. Look for a small install icon in the address bar (a monitor with a down-arrow). 3. Click it, confirm. Skool now appears as an app in your launcher.

In Safari on Mac (Sonoma and later) you can do the same via File → Add to Dock.

This isn't downloading Skool in the traditional sense — there's no installer file — but it produces the same end result: a Skool app you click to open.

Downloading course videos from Skool

Lesson videos hosted in the Classroom are typically streamed via Mux and not exposed as direct download links. Whether you can save them depends entirely on what the creator chose:

Creator allowed downloads: a download icon appears under the video on the lesson page. Click it.
Creator did not allow downloads: there is no built-in way for members to save the video. Browser-based downloaders may work for personal copy but bypassing the creator's choice is a violation of most communities' terms.

If you're the creator and want to allow members to download lessons, the toggle is in the lesson edit panel (Allow downloads, on/off). Use this if your audience travels often and needs offline access.

Exporting members and other data

If "download" for you means "get my data out of Skool", member export is community-owner only and lives in the admin panel. The native CSV is light — it doesn't include every field.

For a richer export — including engagement scores, last-active dates, churn-risk flags — the tools4skool Member Export tool runs as a Chrome extension on your existing Skool session and pulls the full picture into a CSV in seconds. No password storage, no risk of breaking your Skool account.

Stop leaving DMs, churn, and revenue on the table.

Frequently asked

Not natively. Skool runs in the browser on desktop. You can install it as a PWA in Chrome or Safari to get an app-like experience with its own window and dock/Start-menu icon, but there's no .exe or .dmg installer published by Skool.
