How to save Bitcoin Well as a web app on iPhone

Saving app.bitcoinwell.com as a web app puts a Bitcoin Well icon right on your home screen. Tap it once and you're signed in and ready, no typing the URL each time. It looks and feels like a native app, without taking up the space of one.

Here's how to set it up in Safari on iPhone.

Step 1: Open Safari

Open Safari on your iPhone.

Step 2: Type app.bitcoinwell.com into the address bar

Tap the address bar, type app.bitcoinwell.com, and press Go.

Step 3: Wait for the sign-in page to load

You'll see the Bitcoin Well sign-in screen. You don't need to sign in yet, you just need the page loaded so Safari knows what to save.

Tap the share icon. On iPhone, that's the square with the arrow pointing up, usually in the bottom toolbar or next to the address bar.

Step 7: Name your shortcut and confirm "Open as Web App" is on

You'll see a preview with the Bitcoin Well logo and the name "Bitcoin Well." You can leave the name as is or shorten it. Make sure the "Open as Web App" toggle is green, this is what makes it open in its own window instead of a Safari tab.

Tap Add in the top right.

The Bitcoin Well icon will now appear on your home screen, right alongside your other apps. Tap it any time to open Bitcoin Well in its own dedicated window.
