How to install it on iPhone with no App Store

RPWallet installs from Safari's Share sheet as a Progressive Web App. It takes about two minutes, needs no sideloading, no TestFlight invite and no jailbreak — and because a home-screen PWA launches without browser chrome, there is no address bar sitting at the top of your screenshots.

The short answer

To install RPWallet on an iPhone: open rpwallet.app in Safari (not Chrome, and not a link opened inside Telegram or Instagram), enter your license key, tap the Share button in the toolbar, scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen, then tap Add. Launch it from the new home-screen icon and it opens full screen with no address bar. There is nothing to sideload and nothing to install from the App Store.

Before you start

  • An iPhone or iPad on iOS 16.4 or later — earlier versions install fine but cannot show simulated push notifications.
  • Safari. iOS only allows Add to Home Screen from Safari itself.
  • Your RPWallet license key, from the email sent after checkout.
  • About two minutes. Nothing downloads and nothing asks for a seed phrase.

Five steps, about two minutes

The only step people get wrong is the first one. iOS will not install a home-screen app from Chrome or from a browser embedded inside another app.

  1. Open the site in Safari

    Safari

    Type rpwallet.app into Safari's address bar directly rather than following a link from a messaging app. Links tapped inside Telegram, Instagram, X or Discord open in an embedded browser that has no Add to Home Screen option, which is what stops most first installs.

  2. Enter your license key

    Paste the key from your delivery email and confirm it. The key activates the wallet interfaces on this device; it does not create an account, and there is no password to set. Activating before installing means the home-screen app opens straight into the wallet rather than back to the key prompt.

  3. Open the Share sheet

    Share

    Tap the Share button — the square with an arrow pointing up — in the toolbar at the bottom of Safari. On iPad, and on an iPhone in landscape, it sits in the top toolbar instead.

  4. Choose Add to Home Screen

    Add to Home Screen

    Scroll down the list of actions past the sharing targets. Tap Add to Home Screen, rename the icon if you want something other than RPWallet on your home screen, then tap Add in the top right.

  5. Launch it from the icon

    Close Safari and open the new icon from your home screen. The simulator fills the display with no address bar and no browser toolbar, which is the state you want for screenshots and screen recordings — a visible URL bar is the single most common giveaway in wallet footage.

If something goes wrong

There is no Add to Home Screen option in the Share sheet.
You are not in Safari. A link opened from Telegram, Instagram, X, Discord or a mail client loads in that app's embedded browser, which cannot install a home-screen app. Tap the compass or Open in Safari icon first, or type rpwallet.app into Safari by hand, then reopen the Share sheet.
Add to Home Screen is there, but greyed out or missing on Chrome.
Chrome, Firefox, Brave and Edge on iOS all run on Apple's WebKit but are not allowed to install PWAs. Safari is the only browser on iOS that can. This is an Apple restriction, not something an app can work around.
The icon opens Safari with an address bar instead of a full-screen app.
The shortcut was saved as a bookmark rather than a home-screen app, which happens if it was added from the Bookmarks menu. Delete the icon, return to Safari, and use the Share sheet route in step three.
It asks for the license key again every time it opens.
Private Browsing was on when you activated, so the activation was discarded when the tab closed. Turn Private Browsing off, activate again in a normal tab, then reinstall from the Share sheet.
Simulated notifications never arrive.
Web push on iOS requires iOS 16.4 or later and only works once the app is on the home screen — it will never fire from a Safari tab. Check Settings, then Notifications, and confirm RPWallet is allowed to send them.

Why there is no App Store listing

An app whose entire purpose is to display balances that are not real would not survive App Store review, and shipping one anyway is how the fake-wallet apps that periodically make the news end up in front of people who think they are real. Installing as a Progressive Web App is not a workaround for review — it is the honest delivery method for a tool like this, and it means nothing signed and unaudited is ever installed on your device.

What a sideloaded build would actually be

Sites in this category advertise downloadable iOS builds for wallet simulators. Those are unsigned binaries that need a sideloading tool, a developer certificate or a revoked enterprise profile to install, and once installed they can read far more of your device than a web app can. The home-screen route above avoids that entirely — it runs in the browser's sandbox, with no certificate to trust and nothing to revoke.

Install on iPhone FAQ

Do I need to jailbreak my iPhone?

No. A Progressive Web App installs through a feature Apple ships in Safari for every user. Nothing is sideloaded, no developer certificate is involved, and no device protection is disabled.

Will the icon look like a browser shortcut?

No. The install supplies its own icon and launch screen, so it sits on the home screen like any other app and opens full screen without Safari's address bar or toolbar.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. The steps are the same, except the Share button is in the top toolbar rather than the bottom one. The wallet interfaces are phone-shaped, so they render at phone width in the centre of the iPad display.

Can I larp a wallet on an iPhone without a computer?

Yes, and that is the intended way. Everything happens on the phone: install to the home screen from Safari, set balances in Manage Tokens, capture with the built-in screen recorder. No desktop tool touches your machine and no real wallet app is modified.

Can I install it on more than one device?

That depends on your plan. Every plan includes all three wallet interfaces on each device; the plan limit is how many phones can use one license key at the same time, not how many wallets you get.

Does uninstalling it leave anything behind?

No. Deleting the home-screen icon removes the app and its stored settings the same way deleting any app does. There is no profile to revoke and no certificate to trust.
