Web app
Casual Sex App: Get A Shag on Your Phone
No download and no store. Open it in your phone's browser, then keep it on your home screen.
Is there a Get A Shag app?
Get A Shag is a web app. It runs in the browser already on your phone, and once you add it to your home screen it sits there with its own icon and opens straight to the site, like anything else you tap. There's nothing to download from a store and nothing to update.
Call it a sex app, a hookup app or a one night stand app: most people searching for one want to sort out a shag from the sofa or the bus, without a laptop open on their knees. A browser does that perfectly well. Get A Shag works in any web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and it's the same account on all of them.
It's strictly for adults aged 18 and over, and it's built around casual sex and no-strings fun, so nobody here wonders why you've messaged.
Put Get A Shag on your home screen
A few taps now, and Get A Shag is one press away whenever the mood strikes.
On an iPhone
- Open Get A Shag in Safari and log in.
- Tap the Share button. On newer versions of iOS it may be tucked behind the three-dot button.
- Find Add to Home Screen in the list (you may need to scroll), rename it if you like, then tap Add.
On an Android phone
- Open Get A Shag in Chrome and log in.
- Tap the browser menu: the three dots in the corner.
- Choose Add to Home screen or Install app, whichever your phone shows, then confirm.
Using another browser? Look in its menu for a home screen option; the wording varies.

Why a web app keeps casual sex discreet
- No download to explain
- There's no store download, so there's no app-store history to explain.
- No icon you didn't choose
- The only icon is the one you add, on whichever screen or folder you pick. An iPhone lets you rename it before you tap Add.
- Sign out when you like
- Log out when you're done and your chats aren't sitting open for whoever picks up your phone next. The member terms ask you to log out at the end of each session anyway.
- Your number stays yours
- Keep the flirting on Get A Shag until you're ready to share more. The site warns you if someone tries to shift the chat to WhatsApp or another app.
One honest caveat: it's still a website, so it shows in your browser history like any other unless you use a private browsing tab. More on how the site protects you is on the safety page.
Know when someone messages you
Get A Shag keeps you posted by email. Message notifications and account updates go to the address you joined with, so choose one you're happy to get them at. In your settings you can change how often they arrive or stop them altogether, and every email carries an unsubscribe link.
What makes a good sex app?
Three things: people who want what you want, a way to find them close by, and the tools to stay safe while you do it. Get A Shag is made for casual sex, so asking for a one night stand is the whole point rather than an awkward opener.
Your suggestions take distance into account (here's how sex near me works), and the safety tools come with you: ID verified badges, instant blocking, reporting, and uploads screened by software and human reviewers.

Casual sex app: what people ask
Is there a Get A Shag app to download?
No, and you don't need one. Get A Shag is a web app that runs in your phone's browser, and you can add it to your home screen so it's there whenever you want it.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Use Safari on an iPhone, Chrome on Android or whichever browser you prefer. It works on tablets and computers too, and you log in to the same account on each.
Will I get notifications?
Yes, by email. You'll hear about new messages and account news at the email address you signed up with, and your settings let you turn them down or off.
Can anyone tell I'm using it?
Not from your downloads, because there aren't any, and there's no icon unless you add one. On a shared phone, use a private tab and log out when you're done.
