Installing Rally on your iPad or iPhone
Rally is a Progressive Web App — that means you can install it as a real app on your iPad or iPhone, without the App Store. In 4 steps you’ll have Rally on your home screen.
Step 1: Open Safari
Open Safari on your iPad or iPhone and go to:
Important: use Safari, not Chrome or Firefox. On iOS you can only add a web app to your home screen through Safari.
Step 2: Tap the share icon
Tap the share icon in Safari — the square with an upward arrow. On iPad you’ll find it in the top toolbar, on iPhone at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Choose “Add to Home Screen”
Scroll down in the menu until you see “Add to Home Screen”. Tap it. You can customise the name if you want, but “Rally” works fine.
Step 4: Done
Rally now appears as an app icon on your home screen. Tap it to open Rally — without a browser bar, in fullscreen. It looks and feels like a native app.
What does this give you?
By adding Rally to your home screen you get:
- Fullscreen mode — no browser bar, maximum screen space for your setlist
- Quick access — one tap and you’re in Rally
- Available offline — your set is stored locally on your device
- Automatic updates — Rally updates in the background, no action needed
Does it work on Android?
Yes. On Android with Chrome:
- Open Chrome and go to live.stagerally.app
- Tap the menu (three dots in the top right)
- Choose “Add to home screen” or “Install app”
- Rally is on your home screen
Tips for the stage
- iPad on a stand — use a music stand with a tablet holder or a dedicated iPad stand
- Brightness up — set your screen brightness high so you can read the setlist under stage lights
- Do Not Disturb on — enable Do Not Disturb so notifications don’t interrupt your setlist
- Auto-lock off — disable auto-lock so your screen doesn’t turn off during a song
Rally is now on your iPad. Time to create your first setlist or start a live session with your band. Also check out why Rally works on every device without installation.
