Demos / Add to Home Screen

Install it.

This site ships a manifest.webmanifest and the Apple-flavored meta tags Safari needs to treat it like an installable app. Add it to the Home Screen and come back here — the state below will flip.

In Safari tab

You're viewing this site in a regular Safari tab.

How to install on iPad

Tap the Share button at the top of Safari.
Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
Confirm the name, then tap Add.
From your Home Screen, open iPadOS Showcase — you'll come back here, in standalone mode.

What changes once installed

The Safari toolbar disappears; the site is its own app window.
display-mode: standalone and navigator.standalone both report true.
The icon and name come from the manifest.
The status bar follows apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style.

A Service Worker isn't required for installability on iPadOS, but one would let the site work offline. That's tracked under Phase 4 in IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md.
