๐Ÿ“ฒ Install the App

The Timber Lake community site works as a free app right from your phone's home screen โ€” no App Store, no Google Play. Once installed, you can receive push notifications for community alerts and events.

It's just a shortcut, not a download. Nothing is installed in the traditional sense โ€” your phone just saves a link that opens the site full-screen, like an app.

๐ŸŽ iPhone / iPad (Safari)

Push notifications on iOS require the app to be added to your Home Screen and opened from there. Safari alone won't support notifications.

  1. Open timberlake.info in Safari Must be Safari โ€” Chrome and other iOS browsers don't support this yet.
  2. Tap the Share button The box with an arrow pointing up (โฌ†) at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Scroll down and tap "Add to Home Screen" You'll see a preview with the Timber Lake icon. Tap Add to confirm.
  4. Open the app from your Home Screen Tap the new Timber Lake icon โ€” it will open full-screen like a native app.
  5. Tap "Enable" on the notifications card Allow notifications when prompted and you're all set!

Requires iOS 16.4 or later. To check: Settings โ†’ General โ†’ About โ†’ iOS Version.


๐Ÿค– Android (Chrome)

Android makes this especially easy โ€” Chrome will often prompt you automatically.

  1. Open timberlake.info in Chrome Chrome is recommended for the best experience.
  2. Tap "Add to Home Screen" if prompted Chrome may show a banner at the bottom automatically. Tap it to install.
  3. Or: tap the โ‹ฎ menu โ†’ "Add to Home Screen" If no banner appears, open the browser menu (three dots, top right) and choose Add to Home Screen.
  4. Open the app from your Home Screen Tap the Timber Lake icon โ€” it opens full-screen without the browser chrome.
  5. Allow notifications when prompted Tap Enable on the notifications card and accept the permission request.
