Homepage for Safari User Reviews

Top reviews

Does what it says on the tin!

It’s open source, super simple and works perfectly.

Thank you for your work!

Add option to choose an accent color?

Assuming Safari is pulling the accent colors from the extension (shown in the tab bar and toolbar), would it be possible to choose an accent color from the homepage app so that safari uses the chosen color?

Response from developer

Hi, sorry I’m not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mind posting your query in https://github.com/infinitepower18/Homepage-MobileSafari/discussions with your device details and the website you’re using the extension with?

I finally got it working. Most underrated free app EVER! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

If you have trouble getting it to work, you need to do THREE things:

1. Settings > Safari > Open New Tabs > with “Homepage”
2. Then tap the app icon for Homepage and set your url for the page.
3. In Safari tap the little icon in the address bar > Manage Extensions > ✅ Homepage On.

This app lets you set up your own start-page like bonjourr.fr and have it in every new tab. For power users who have their whole toolkit of search-bars and customized icons for favorite links, with splash wallpapers… this app is a liberation! Special thanks to the developer for making it free. Hopefully this little app becomes famous like it deserves.

I previously left a 1 star review because I couldn’t get it working. You need to do THREE things:

1. Settings > Safari > Open New Tabs > with “Homepage”
2. Then tap the app icon for Homepage and set your url for the page.
3. In Safari tap the little icon in the address bar > Manage Extensions > ✅ Homepage On.

Then it works.

1 star deducted for inadequate documentation of complex setup process. And 1 star added back because this is the greatest little free app.

Why? You can set up a complex power user start-page like bonjourr and have it pop up on every new tab with multiple search engines, weather, and every favorite page you ever go with your own custom icons for each, and complete control over the layout. Or something simpler like whatever you want, really.

Not working iOS 18.2

I enabled it and activated it but only Favorites comes up. Please fix for a 5 star review.

Response from developer

This is likely an iOS bug rather than an app bug. Can you try restarting your device? If the problem persists, please post on GitHub with further details. https://github.com/infinitepower18/Homepage-MobileSafari/issues

Just works!

One of the two reasons I don’t like safari is I want to use my own homepage. Thanks for solving one problem! Now I just wish I could use my own search

Simple, Effective, Consistant

This is a wonderful extension app for Safari on iPhone. It was astounding that this isn’t a default setting, and this app fills that gap perfectly and consistently.
Very simple setup in Safari extension settings & app interface & works immediately.

Good app but needs work!

This is exactly what I’ve been searching for. However, it doesn’t work reliably on iPadOS 17.6.1. My set homepage only opens maybe 50% of the time.

Response from developer

Hi, based on my findings this is probably an OS bug. Please try rebooting and disabling/enabling the extension. If you continue to face problems please comment on GitHub and I will try my best to help.

awesome!

app works perfectly and even respects the browser cache! follow the instructions to enable it in safari settings. tested on ipad os safari

Perfect and simple!

Thank you for fixing an issue that Apple should have handled a decade ago. You’re the best!
