Create an app

Under Review

It would be wonderful if you were to create an app that would take you right to the zz platform on my iPad, desktop, or phone.

Hi Terry! 📱

While we don't have a native app yet, you can create a shortcut to zzTakeoff on your devices for quicker access:

  • iPad/iPhone: Use Safari to visit zzTakeoff, tap the share button, then "Add to Home Screen"
  • Desktop: Most browsers let you create desktop shortcuts or pin the site


For Android phones/tablets:

  1. Open Chrome (or your preferred browser) and go to zzTakeoff
  2. Tap the three dots menu (⋮) in the top right corner
  3. Select "Add to Home screen"
  4. Give it a name (like "zzTakeoff") and tap "Add"
  5. You'll now have a zzTakeoff icon on your home screen that opens directly to the platform! 🎯


This creates a web app shortcut that behaves almost like a native app - it opens in full screen mode without the browser address bar, making it feel more app-like.

I would like a stand alone app for PC. Nothing fancy, but an app that just opens to zzTakeOff. Similar to dedicating a browser page with no header.

Example: if you have Google Message for Web. You can access it through a webpage, but they also has a separate app that does exactly the same thing, but with no address bar or tabs) Its easier to pin to taskbar


I know there is a way to save a webpage to an icon and pin that to taskbar, but its not as cool as having your own app.
