How do I add Well Lived to my phone's home screen?

Well Lived runs in your browser, but you can put it on your home screen so it opens full screen, straight to the Log, like any other app.

The quick way

On a phone or tablet, open the account menu (your initials) and choose Add to home screen. You'll find the same button under Settings → Profile → On your home screen. It only shows in a phone or tablet browser that doesn't have Well Lived installed yet.

Well Lived also offers this on its own, a moment after you save an entry. Not now puts it away for three weeks, and after you've said no three times it stops asking.

On Android (Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet)

Press Install and confirm in your browser's dialog. If your browser doesn't offer that, the sheet shows the steps instead: open the browser's menu, choose Add to Home screen or Install app, then confirm.

On iPhone and iPad

1. Tap Share in the browser's toolbar.
2. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then Add.
3. Back in Well Lived, tap I've added it.

This works in Safari, and in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on iOS 16.4 or later.

Questions

I opened Well Lived from a link in another app and can't install it. Apps like Instagram and Gmail open links in their own small browser, which can't install anything. Use that app's menu to choose Open in browser, then use Add to home screen from the account menu.

Does the installed app work offline or send notifications? No. It's the same Well Lived you use in the browser, so it needs a connection. For reminders, see the logging reminder.

I said no, and now I want it. Use Add to home screen in the account menu or in Settings → Profile. Your answer is remembered on each device separately.
