Add Kongbei Ledger to your iPhone Home Screen

Updated 2026-10-26 · 2 min read

Steps

1. Open my.kongbei.xyz in Safari, the browser that comes with your iPhone. Pages opened inside other apps (WeChat, Xiaohongshu and so on) can't be added; switch to Safari first.
2. Tap the Share button (a square with an arrow pointing up). In iOS 26, Safari tucks it into the “…” button next to the address bar: tap “…”, then Share. On earlier versions, Share is at the bottom center of the screen.
3. Scroll down the menu and tap Add to Home Screen.
4. Keep or change the name. From iOS 26 there's also a switch on this screen that decides whether it opens on its own like an app or inside Safari: leave it on. Tap Add in the top right.
5. Go to your Home Screen, open the Kongbei Ledger icon, then tap “Create in one tap” to connect your ledger. Always open it from this icon from now on.

Why the Home Screen

• It works like an app: full screen, no address bar, one tap from your Home Screen; it shows your last data right away and updates itself when there's a new version.
• Note reminders need it: on iPhone, only web apps opened from the Home Screen can get notifications, so Settings → Note reminders can only be turned on from there.

Next: install the logging shortcut

Once your ledger is connected, see Log expenses automatically with iPhone Shortcuts to install the shortcut, so one press after paying logs the entry.
