Add Bookwield to Your Home Screen

Install Bookwield on your iPhone or iPad for quick access and a full-screen experience — no App Store needed.

Note: You must be signed in to Safari with your Bookwield account before adding to your home screen so your session carries over.

1

Open in Safari

Navigate to bookwield.com using Safari. This feature only works in Safari — not Chrome, Firefox, or other browsers on iOS.

2

Tap the Share button

Tap the Share icon at the bottom of the screen. It looks like a square with an upward arrow .

3

Select "Add to Home Screen"

Scroll down in the share menu and tap Add to Home Screen. If you don't see it, scroll to the bottom of the actions list.

4

Confirm and add

You can customize the name or leave it as "Bookwield." Tap Add in the top-right corner. The Bookwield icon will appear on your home screen.

Why use the home screen app?

  • Full-screen experience — no browser toolbar or address bar taking up space.
  • One-tap access — launch Bookwield directly from your home screen like any other app.
  • Push notifications — get reminders when your weekly reviews are due.
  • Feels native — appears in your app switcher and runs independently from Safari.
