4 min 2026-02-23 How to Add Brixon to Your Phone's Home Screen in 2 Minutes (No Tech Skills Needed)
Why add Brixon to your phone?
On the job site, you don't have time to open your browser, type a web address, and log in every time. By adding Brixon to your home screen, you open it with a single tap, just like Facebook, WhatsApp, or any other app.
It's free, takes 2 minutes, and you don't need to download anything from the App Store or Play Store.
📱 On iPhone (Safari)
Follow these simple steps:
- Open Safari (the browser with the blue compass icon). Important: this only works with Safari, not Chrome or Firefox.
- Go to the Brixon website, type the address in the bar at the top or tap the link you were sent.
- Log in with your usual email and password.
- Tap the Share button, it's the small square with an arrow pointing up, at the bottom of the screen (or top right depending on your model).
- Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen" (the icon with a + in a square).
- Tap "Add" in the top right corner.
That's it! 🎉 Brixon's icon now appears on your home screen, right next to your other apps.
📱 On Android (Chrome)
Follow these simple steps:
- Open Chrome (the browser with the round red, yellow, green, and blue icon).
- Go to the Brixon website, type the address or tap the link you received.
- Log in with your email and password.
- Tap the 3 dots in the top right corner of the screen.
- Tap "Add to Home screen" or "Install app".
- Confirm by tapping "Add".
That's it! 🎉 Brixon is now on your home screen like a regular app.
How does it work after that?
Once installed:
- One tap to open Brixon from your home screen
- Full screen, no browser bar taking up space
- You stay logged in, no need to re-enter your password every time
- Works even with weak signal, previously loaded pages remain accessible
Having trouble?
Here are solutions to the most common issues:
- "I can't find the Share button on iPhone", Make sure you're using Safari (not Chrome). The button is at the bottom center of the screen.
- "The option doesn't show up on Android", Make sure you're using Chrome. Some Samsung phones have this option in the menu under "Add shortcut".
- "The icon is there but it won't open", Delete it and redo the steps. Make sure you're connected to the internet.
- "I have to log in every time", Check that you're not automatically clearing your browsing data.
