Same site. Full screen. Like an app — without waiting for the app store.
When you launch Yada from the home screen, the URL bar disappears and the app feels native — that's the point.
Your browser can install Yada directly. No menu hunting needed.
When you launch Yada from the home screen, it opens full-screen — no browser URL bar, no tabs, no distractions.
The Yada daily practice is designed for a phone — the 5-minute morning prompt, the evening reflection, the voice-to-text. You can install it on desktop too, but the rhythm of daily check-ins lives best on the device that's with you.
The three most common snags — and the fix for each.
This almost always means one of two things:
You're not in Safari. Add-to-Home-Screen only appears in Safari's share sheet on iOS. If you tapped a link from Instagram, Messages, or another app, the page may have opened in that app's built-in browser. Tap the share icon, scroll right, and choose Open in Safari — then try again.
The action has been turned off. Open the share sheet, scroll down past the share targets, and look for Edit Actions. Tap it and turn on Add to Home Screen with the green toggle.
Two things to check:
You're using the right browser. Installable web apps work in Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet, and recent Firefox. They don't work in older Android browsers or in-app webviews. If you tapped a link from Gmail or Messages, the page may have opened inside that app — use the share button to open it in Chrome.
Yada is already installed. Check your app drawer for the cream-and-olive Yada icon. If it's there, just tap it.
iOS will sometimes route links to Safari instead of your installed Yada app. That's an iOS quirk, not a bug in Yada.
To open the installed Yada experience, tap the Yada icon on your home screen directly. That always opens in full-screen mode with no Safari URL bar.
If your installed Yada app feels stuck on an old screen, force-quit it (swipe up and flick the Yada card away), then reopen from the home screen — the latest version will load.
Correct — Apple only allows Add-to-Home-Screen from Safari on iOS, no matter which browser you're using. This isn't a Yada limitation, it's an iOS policy. Open this page in Safari and the iPhone steps above will work.
