Put Palia Journal on Your Home Screen
Palia Journal is a website, so there is nothing to download from an app store. Add it to your Home Screen once and you get an icon that opens the journal just like an app. It takes about a minute on iPhone, iPad or Android.
Steps checked against Apple's and Google's own help pages in November 2026. If a button name has changed, the help pages under Sources have the current wording.
iPhone, in Safari
Use Safari for this. These are Apple's own steps for turning a website into an app.
- Open paliajournal.com in Safari.
- Tap the Page Menu button (three dots), then tap Share. If your tabs are set to Top or Bottom, tap the Share button instead.
- Scroll down the list and tap Add to Home Screen. Not in the list? Scroll to the bottom, tap Edit Actions, then tap Add to Home Screen.
- Make sure Open as Web App is turned on, then tap Add.
iPad, in Safari
- Open paliajournal.com in Safari.
- Tap the Share button, tap View More, then tap Add to Home Screen.
- Make sure Open as Web App is turned on, then tap Add.
Android, in Chrome
Chrome calls this installing a web app.
- Open paliajournal.com in Chrome.
- Tap More (three dots) on the right of the address bar.
- Tap Install and create shortcut, then tap Install.
- Follow the steps on your screen.
Good to know
- On iPhone and iPad, the icon is only on the device where you add it. Add it on each one you play with.
- When you tap the icon, the journal opens just like an app, in its own window.
- On Android, the journal then opens from your home screen or app list. To remove it, go to Settings, then Apps, then See all apps, tap Palia Journal and tap Uninstall.
- The same steps are in your journal under Settings. On Android, Chrome may also offer a one-tap Install button there.
