Home Screen web apps have a standalone, app-like experience on iOS, with separate cookies and storage from the browser. Websites that have been added to the Home Screen on iOS and iPadOS, with the standalone display mode, will become a Home Screen web app. This provides a quick way for users to access a commonly-used site right from the Home Screen. A website that has been added to the Home Screen opens in the default browser. The default behavior on iOS is different from macOS. This is called the standalone display mode. You may not want to show the toolbar if your site has its own navigation controls or navigation controls aren't necessary in the context of your site. This is helpful for navigating around sites that don't have their own navigation controls. The default behavior shows a toolbar with navigation controls. As a developer, you can control the initial behavior of the toolbar for the web app's window. When a webpage is added to the Dock on macOS, it is always treated as a web app. That was the default behavior, but you may want to customize the experience for people who use your website. We put people in control of their privacy, so they can grant camera, microphone, and location access to your web app in the same ways as native apps, through system permission prompts and in the Privacy & Security section of System Settings.

Web apps work with AutoFill credentials from iCloud Keychain and from third-party apps that have adopted the Credential Provider Extension API. Web apps can be opened from the Dock, Launchpad, and Spotlight Search.

Like all Mac apps, web apps work great with Stage Manager, Mission Control, and keyboard shortcuts, such as command + tab. This site doesn't have any web app-specific features, such as a web app manifest, and it looks great and functions as a standalone web app. Let's take a look at the web app that I already added to my Dock. Web apps on Mac are fully integrated with many of the features that you would expect from a native app on macOS. Web apps on Mac work great with no adoption required by developers. Let's start with how web apps work out of the box. Finally, I'll discuss notifications, including sounds and badging, giving you a way to reach your users even when they're not actively using your web app. Then I'll tell you about how you can customize the behavior of your web app to create the best experience for your users. Today, we're going to first cover how web apps on Mac work out of the box for all websites. As a developer, you can control whether the navigation buttons are shown. and the theme color for the site blends into the toolbar. There is a simplified toolbar with navigation buttons. That's because Safari copies website cookies when it is added to the Dock. Now once I've launched this web app, I can use this site in a way that feels more like an app. I'm going to close Safari for now and open the Wikipedia web app. I'll press “Add”, and now there's a new icon in my Dock. I could also modify the icon if wanted to, but this one looks good. I'm going to open the File menu and select 'Add to Dock.' Now I can see the icon, name and URL of this site. I'm browsing Wikipedia, and I'd like to add it to the Dock. Similar to iOS, the way I can create a web app is by adding a website to the Dock. Web apps on Mac let me focus on websites that I use all the time in a dedicated way that's separate from the rest of my browsing. New in macOS Sonoma, we now have web apps on Mac.

So now users can add Home Screen web apps in iOS browsers and many in-app browsers. New in iOS and iPadOS 17, Add to Home Screen is now available in Safari View Controller. We also added API for iOS and iPadOS browsers to adopt Add to Home Screen. In iOS and iPadOS 16.4, we added notifications to Home Screen web apps, using the Web Push standard with support for badging. We've been on a journey with web apps since the release of the very first iPhone, and they just keep getting better. Today, I'm excited to share what's new in web apps.
