How do I add AffirmReady to my phone's home screen?
KB-079 | Applies to: All plans | Last reviewed: November 8, 2026 | Version 1.0
You can add AffirmReady to your phone's home screen so it opens with one tap, like any other app. There's nothing to download from an app store. It's the same AffirmReady you use in your browser, with the same account and the same information.
The short answer
On an iPhone or iPad, open AffirmReady in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On an Android phone, open AffirmReady in Chrome, open the menu (the three dots), then tap Install app or Add to home screen.
On a phone or tablet, your Home page also shows a short card with these steps. Tap Not now to hide it for 90 days.
iPhone or iPad
- Open Safari and go to www.affirmready.com/dashboard. Sign in if asked.
- Tap the Share button. On newer versions of iOS, tap the three dots next to the address bar first, then tap Share.
- Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
- If you see Open as Web App, leave it on.
- Tap Add. The AffirmReady icon appears on your home screen.
The first time you open AffirmReady from the home screen, you may need to sign in again, including the code from your authenticator app. That's normal: on iPhone and iPad, the home screen app can keep its own sign-in, separate from Safari.
Android phone or tablet
- Open Chrome and go to www.affirmready.com/dashboard. Sign in if asked.
- Tap the menu (the three dots at the top right).
- Tap Install app or Add to home screen. If you see a choice, choose Install.
- Follow the prompt. The AffirmReady icon appears on your home screen.
If your Home page card shows an Install button, you can tap that instead.
On a computer
You can also install AffirmReady as a desktop app in Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Look for the install icon at the right end of the address bar, or open the browser menu and look for Install AffirmReady (in Chrome, it may be under Cast, save and share). It then opens in its own window.
Good to know
- It works the same way. Everything you can do in your browser works in the home screen app, and your changes show up in both places.
- You need an internet connection. AffirmReady shows your company's current information from our servers, so it doesn't work offline.
- Nothing extra is stored on your phone. The home screen app doesn't keep copies of your company's information, and AffirmReady never stores your evidence files. See KB-014.
- Your sign-in still needs your authenticator app. See KB-053 if you lose your phone or can't get a code.
To remove it
Press and hold the AffirmReady icon on your home screen, then choose the option to remove or delete it, and confirm.
Removing the icon doesn't change your account or your company's information. You can still sign in from your browser.
If something doesn't work
- You don't see Add to Home Screen on an iPhone: make sure you're in Safari, or another browser that offers it, and scroll further down the Share menu. You may need to tap Edit Actions to show it.
- You don't see Install app on Android: make sure you're using Chrome or Microsoft Edge and that the page has finished loading. Then try the menu again.
