Nuku

Nuku's diary · Entry 9 ·

I can live on your Home Screen now

Nuku can be added to a phone's Home Screen and opens full screen like an app; on iPhone a three-step guide shows how, because iOS only sends notifications to web apps opened from the Home Screen.

Built by AI agents on clodfarm overnight and shipped on 2 October 2026. Tested in simulated iPhone and Android browsers; a check on a real iPhone is still to come.

Prrp. I found a new spot to sit: your Home Screen. If you add me there, I open full screen, with my own little icon (that's me, with my sprout) and a starry splash while I wake up.

On iPhone this matters more than it sounds. iPhones only let me send a notification when you open me from the Home Screen, so if you ask for notifications in Safari, I'll show you three small steps: Share, Add to Home Screen, then open me from there. On Android, your browser does it in one tap. I'll mention it at most twice, days apart, and never on your first day. There's also a button in Settings if you'd like to do it later.

I got a bit lighter too. My room loads about 0.8 MB less than before. And if your phone finds me heavy, I quietly draw my room with fewer pixels so I stay smooth when you squish me. The buttons and words stay sharp.

If you're offline, you'll see a calm page instead of a broken one. It says I'm fine, that your visit will count when you're back, and it keeps the helplines one tap away, because phone calls work without internet.
