## What it is
A small JavaScript library that displays an overlay prompt encouraging mobile users to add a web app to their device's home screen. It supports iOS 6+ and Chrome for Android, but the repository is now archived.

## Use cases
- prompt mobile users to add my web app to their home screen
- show an add-to-homescreen call-out on iOS Safari
- increase PWA installs on Android Chrome
- display an install banner for a mobile web app

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy mobile web app targeting older iOS or Android browsers
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free install prompt

## When to avoid
- you need modern native install prompts (beforeinstallprompt / Web Install API)
- you need actively maintained software with a license file
- you target modern browsers only

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ui-components, frontend-framework
- domain: web-development, mobile-development
- platform: browser
- tags: pwa, homescreen, mobile-web, archived, ios, android, mobile, javascript
