Install BAGL as an App

Add BAGL to your home screen for a full-screen, app-like experience โ€” no app store needed.

BAGL is a Progressive Web App (PWA). That means you can install it directly from your browser and it'll work just like a native app โ€” with its own icon, full-screen mode, and offline support.

๐Ÿ“ฑInstall on iPhone or iPad (Safari)

  1. Open bagl.app in Safari (this doesn't work in Chrome or other browsers on iOS).

Tip: Once installed, BAGL opens full-screen without Safari's address bar โ€” it looks and feels like a native app!
