The Muse AI app is where most people meet their personal AI agent. Available on the iPhone App Store and the Google Play Store for Android, the mobile apps put your agent in your pocket with phone-specific powers like pairing, notifications, and sharing from other apps.
This guide covers everything: downloading and setting up the app, what each tab does, the full Settings tour for both platforms, the gestures worth learning, and the platform differences that actually matter. Whether you are on iOS or Android, you will finish knowing your app inside out.
Download and Availability
Muse launched on September 8, 2026, and is currently available in the US and Canada. Anyone in those regions can download the apps:
- iPhone: search for Muse on the App Store
- Android: search for Muse on the Google Play Store
There is also a web app at muse.ai and a Mac app for desktop users, and your agent and conversations are the same across all of them. Set something up on your phone and it is there on the web too.
First-Time Setup
Opening the app for the first time is straightforward. You create your account, meet your agent, and land in the chat tab. Before you start chatting, three setup steps pay off enormously:
- Redeem an invite code if you have one. Go to Settings and look for Redeem token. It accepts a friend’s invite code during the first 48 hours after you join, and both of you get bonus Muse tokens. After 48 hours the option disappears, so do this first.
- Set your notification preferences. Your agent can reach you with results and approval requests, but only if notifications are allowed.
- Pair your phone. This unlocks the device-specific powers described below, and it is the step most people skip and later wish they had not.
The Five Tabs
Every mobile surface has the same five tabs: Chat, Feed, Ideas, Goals, and Library.
Chat is the main conversation with your agent, plus your side chats organized by topic. The Invite button sits at the top right of the chat header (a gift icon on iOS) and opens the invite share sheet for referring friends.
Feed is where your agent writes short posts for you on a schedule, guided by a feed prompt you control. Think morning briefings, topic watches, and learning notes, written for you in your agent’s voice.
Ideas holds suggested ideas your agent curates for you: things to build, try, or explore. When you pick one, your agent builds it.
Goals lists your active and completed goals, with plans and progress updates. This is where intentions become tracked outcomes.
Library is where everything your agent makes collects: artifacts (documents, pages, apps), media, and files. You can pin favorites, share, download, or delete.
Settings Tour: iPhone
On iOS, Settings opens behind the gear icon. A Subscription card sits at the top showing your usage meter with manage and upgrade options. Below it, the rows appear in card groups:
- Connectors: connect services like Gmail and Google Calendar, with per-connector permission detail
- Devices: manage paired devices, including your iPhone’s pairing for health data, HomeKit, photo and camera roll, and Apple Reminders
- Wallet: wallet abilities for purchases
- Secure credentials store: saved logins your agent can use, each with a choice between automatic use and always asking first
- Permissions: default permissions for connectors and per-task permissions
- Messaging channels: which chat channels are available on your account
- Notifications: notification preferences
- Appearance: chat theme, avatar size, light or dark mode
- Data controls: AI training opt-out, import memory, download your agent data, Reset
- Report an issue: bug reports, plus a shake-phone-to-report toggle
- Help & support: help center link, feedback form
- Legal info and Accounts Center, then Log out
Two iPhone notes: there is no Face ID app lock built into the Muse app (locking happens through the phone’s own controls), and pinned Library artifacts can be reordered by long-press drag.
Settings Tour: Android
On Android, Settings opens from the gear in the chat side panel’s header. The rows appear in card groups in this order:
- Subscription: usage and upgrade, handled through the Google Play Store
- Connectors: the connector catalog with search, connect, and per-connector detail
- Wallet: wallet abilities for purchases
- Secure credentials store: saved logins with per-credential agent permission choices
- Permissions: default and per-task permissions
- Messaging channels: available channels for your account
- Devices: this device and others, with per-permission toggles and a three-way Location choice
- Notifications: notification preferences (the enable toggle needs Android 13 or later)
- Appearance: chat theme, avatar size, light or dark mode
- App lock: biometric app lock, on devices with usable biometrics
- Set as default assistant: required before sending texts; adds options for routing conversations
- Add to home screen: pins a shortcut of your agent to your home screen
- Data controls: privacy notice, AI training toggle, import memory, download your agent data, Reset, archived side chats
- Report an issue, Help & support, Legal info, Accounts Center, then Log out
Android exclusives worth knowing: the biometric app lock, the home screen shortcut with your agent’s avatar and name, and richer device pairing including alarms, calls, texts, and notification reading.
Pairing Your Phone: What It Unlocks
Pairing is the feature that turns the app from a chat client into a true assistant.
On iPhone, pairing covers health data, HomeKit, photo and camera roll access, and Apple Reminders. Your agent can work with your health trends, control smart home devices, use your photos, and manage reminders.
On Android, pairing can cover alarms, placing calls from your number, reading and sending texts, reading phone notifications, and searching call history, plus health data through Health Connect. Your agent can read a notification and act on it, or summarize your day’s calls and draft follow-ups.
Nothing is available before pairing, so check what your device supports and grant what you are comfortable with. Permissions can be reviewed and changed later under Devices in Settings.
Gestures Worth Learning
Both apps share a common gesture language:
- Long-press a message for the action menu: reactions, Reply, Copy, Select, Share, and Delete on your own messages
- Swipe a message to reply to it quickly
- Pinch, double-tap, and pan in the media viewer; the full-screen viewer has Save, Reply, Copy, Share, and Delete
- Shake the phone to report a bug (you can toggle this in Settings)
Platform extras: on Android, double-tap an agent message to toggle a heart reaction, and you can swipe a workspace file or folder row into the composer to discuss it. On iOS, long-press-drag reorders pinned Library artifacts.
Sharing and the Invite Button
Two sharing concepts live side by side, and they do different things:
- The Invite button (top right of the chat header, gift icon on iOS) shares a Muse referral: an invite link and code for a friend to join Muse. It does not share your chats or give anyone access to your agent.
- The message share sheet (long-press a message, then Share) shares that specific message through the system sheet, Messages, Threads, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, or X.
You can also share into Muse from other apps: the iOS share extension and Android share target accept links, images, text, and files, staging them in the composer for you to send.
Redeeming an Invite Code
If a friend invited you, redeem their code for bonus tokens for both of you. On iPhone and Android, go to Settings, then Redeem token, and enter the code. This is available during the first 48 hours after you join, so do not wait. On the web, the equivalent entry is under Settings, General, Usage, labeled Redeem invite code, when available for the account.
Notifications and Approvals
When your agent needs your permission for something, the request can arrive as a push notification with Allow and Deny buttons right in the notification shade, so you can answer without opening the app. On iOS, acting on it requires unlocking and opening the app; on Android, the decision happens in the background. Note that on Android, swiping the notification away counts as a denial, so a “denied” request may simply mean you dismissed it.
Privacy and Data Controls
Both apps include Data Controls in Settings: a privacy notice, the AI training opt-out toggle, import memory (bring context from another assistant), a “Download your agent data” export, and Reset, which wipes the agent’s data. There is also a standalone Permissions pane for reviewing what connectors and tasks are allowed to do.
Your agent’s memory of you lives in editable files, and deleting the account itself happens through Meta Accounts Center rather than a row in the app.
iOS vs Android: The Real Differences
| iPhone | Android | |
|---|---|---|
| Download | App Store | Google Play Store |
| Subscription billing | App Store | Google Play Store |
| App lock | None built in (use phone controls) | Biometric app lock |
| Home screen shortcut | Home Screen widget | Add to home screen row |
| Pairing highlights | Health, HomeKit, camera roll, Reminders | Alarms, calls, texts, notifications |
| Heart reaction | Long-press tray | Double-tap message |
| Goal drag gestures | Not available | Drag to reorder and nest |
| Library artifact reorder | Long-press drag | Pinning only |
Neither platform is definitively better; the right one is the phone you already carry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Muse app free?
Yes, the apps are free to download and include free access with a usage limit. Optional paid monthly subscriptions for more usage are handled through the App Store on iPhone and Google Play Store on Android.

Yes. Your agent, chats, artifacts, goals, and library are the same across the iOS app, Android app, web app at muse.ai, and Mac app. Everything syncs.
Does the Muse app work without pairing my phone?
Yes. Pairing unlocks device-specific powers like notification reading and health data, but chatting, browsing, connectors, artifacts, and scheduled tasks all work without it.
How do I report a bug in the app?
Shake your phone to open the bug report dialog, or go to Settings and tap Report an issue. There is also a Submit feedback form under Help & support.
Conclusion
The Muse mobile apps are more than chat windows. Between the five tabs, deep Settings, phone pairing, gestures, sharing, and the Feed and Goals systems, the app is a complete environment for working with your personal agent.
Spend twenty minutes on first setup: redeem any invite code, set notifications, pair your phone, and connect your key services. That small investment pays off every day you use it.
