iPhone or iPad

Add Ghostlight to your Home Screen so it opens like an app — and so it can send you notifications.

Add it to your Home Screen

  1. Open Safari and go to ghostlighthq.com. Use Safari, not another browser.
  2. Tap the Share button (the square with an arrow pointing up).
  3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
  4. Tap Add.
Don’t tap the link in the email. It opens Safari, which signs in Safari — and the Home Screen app stays signed out. Type the code into the app instead.

Sign in from the new icon

  1. Close Safari and open Ghostlight from the new icon on your Home Screen.
  2. Enter your email and tap Send magic link.
  3. Open the email from Ghostlight and find the sign-in code.
  4. Go back to the Ghostlight app, type the code, and tap Sign in with code.

Turn on notifications

  1. In the Ghostlight app, open your account menu and go to Account.
  2. Open the Notifications tab. Next to Push notifications on this device, tap Turn on.
  3. When your iPhone asks, tap Allow.

Why the Home Screen?

On iPhone and iPad, notifications only work from the Home Screen app, not from a Safari tab.

Signing in with Google inside the Home Screen app may send you to Safari instead. If that happens, sign in with the email code above.
