# Adding apps

Whether you're working on a single app on one platform, releasing for multiple platforms, or maintaining several apps for your organization, you can set up Runway around your team's unique needs.

## Add an app

The first time you sign into Runway, you'll be automatically prompted to add your first app. You can always enter the **Add** flow manually by hitting the :heavy\_plus\_sign: icon in the [App sidebar](broken://pages/-Mkg9IngdxVDbEnWSE3M#app-sidebar).

From here, you'll have a couple of choices:

* **Enter a few keywords to search for your existing app** - Runway will search the App Store and Play Store for matching apps and pull in some historical release data from your public store listing. You can even select multiple results to create an [app group](/adding-apps.md#app-groups).
* **Enter your app's information manually** - You'll specify a name and platform for your app.

Optionally, you can mark an app as being delivered via an OTA framework such as Expo or Shorebird. Runway will create an app group optimized for OTA delivery. More details on how to use Runway to streamline OTA releases can be found [here](/using-runway/over-the-air-ota-releases.md).

## App groups

If you have similar apps that you maintain for multiple platforms (*e.g.* Trucking Simulator for iOS and Trucking Simulator for Android), Runway can pull them together into a single app group for ease of navigation and management.

When you have an app group, you'll see a single app icon in the [app sidebar](/using-runway/navigating-runway.md#apps-navigation) with multiple platform icons to select underneath.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If an app group doesn't show up the way you're expecting it to, [get in touch](mailto:support@runway.team) and the Runway team will make sure you're set up correctly.
{% endhint %}

## App settings and connecting integrations

Runway works best when it's hooked up to [a few of your key integrations](/getting-started/setting-up-your-integrations.md), and we have some basic information about your release workflow.

{% hint style="warning" %}
We recommend connecting your key integrations as a first step before filling in additional settings for your app.
{% endhint %}

### Navigate to app settings

1. Select an app in the top left corner from the Switcher
2. Navigate to **App Settings** by clicking the gear icon (⚙️) at the top of the Timeline sidebar
