Install MoodFolio on your phone

Add MoodFolio to your Home Screen so it opens like an app — fullscreen, with its own icon and splash screen.

iPhone & iPad (Safari)

Installing only works in Safari on iOS — not Chrome, Firefox, or in-app browsers.

  1. 1Open moodfolio.net in Safari.
  2. 2Tap the Share button at the bottom of the screen (top-right on iPad).
  3. 3Scroll the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. 4Confirm the name is MoodFolio and tap Add.
  5. 5Find the leaf icon on your Home Screen and tap to launch.

After installing, check:

  • Home Screen icon is the green leaf on a beige background — not a tiny screenshot of the website.
  • Tapping the icon shows a brief splash screen with the leaf, then opens fullscreen.
  • There's no Safari address bar or bottom toolbar — it looks like a native app.
  • Force-quitting and reopening shows the splash again and lands you on the home page.

Android (Chrome)

Works in Chrome and most Chromium browsers (Edge, Brave, Samsung Internet).

  1. 1Open moodfolio.net in Chrome.
  2. 2If you see an Install banner or the Install app button in the top-right, tap it. Otherwise tap the menu and choose Install app (or Add to Home screen).
  3. 3Confirm by tapping Install.
  4. 4Open MoodFolio from your app drawer or Home Screen.

After installing, check:

  • Icon shows the leaf cleanly inside Android's shape mask (circle or squircle) — nothing cropped or framed.
  • Splash screen shows the leaf on the beige background, then opens fullscreen.
  • Long-pressing the icon shows app-style options (App info, Uninstall) — not "Edit shortcut".
  • MoodFolio appears in Settings → Apps as an installed app.
  • The status bar tint matches the app's beige theme color on launch.

Something looks off?

  • No "Add to Home Screen" option on iOS? You're probably in Chrome or an in-app browser. Open the link in Safari directly.
  • No install option on Android? Reload the page once, then try the menu again. Some browsers wait until you've spent a few seconds on the site.
  • Icon looks like a screenshot? Delete it from your Home Screen and reinstall — the icon was cached before the latest version.
  • App opens with the Safari/Chrome bar visible? You may have opened a bookmark instead of the installed app. Look for the leaf icon specifically.
