The White Book App is a "progressive web app", which means that it is both a website and a mobile app. You can access it in any browser, including on desktops, by navigating to mghwhitebook.app. On mobile devices, you can also save it to your home screen, whereupon it functions like any other app. (One-slide summary)
The App is accessible without a login from computers and WiFi within the MGH network (similar to how UpToDate works). From elsewhere, or on 4G, you'll need to login with your @mgh.harvard.edu or @partners.org email address. Once logged in, your browser or device will should keep you logged in for a few months.
