Add Website to Home Screen

What This Does

Creates a Home Screen icon for any website so it opens like a standalone app in Safari.

Why It's Useful

Web apps you use daily — email, dashboards, tools — deserve a one-tap launch. Adding them to the Home Screen removes the step of opening Safari and typing a URL every time.

How to Do It

  1. Open the website in Safari
  2. Tap the Share button (square with an arrow pointing up)
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen
  4. Edit the name if you want, then tap Add

Try This Now

Open this website in Safari, tap Share, choose Add to Home Screen, and confirm. Go to your Home Screen and tap the new icon to launch the site in its own window.

Mental Hook: Website as an icon.
