Installing the app

SideDoor is a web app you can install straight to your home screen — no app store needed. Once installed it opens full-screen, just like a native app, and keeps you signed in.

Install on iPhone (Safari)

1. Open thesidedoor.co/app/guest in Safari.
2. Tap the Share button (the square with an upward arrow).
3. Scroll down and tap Add to Home Screen.
4. Confirm, and the SideDoor icon appears on your home screen.

Install on Android (Chrome)

1. Open the guest app in Chrome.
2. Tap the Install prompt when it appears, or open the browser menu and choose Install app / Add to Home Screen.
3. Confirm to add SideDoor to your home screen.

Install on desktop

In a supported browser (such as Chrome or Edge), look for the Install icon in the address bar, or open the browser menu and choose Install SideDoor. The app opens in its own window.

First launch: “You’re in.”

The first time you open the installed app you’ll see a short welcome sheet titled “You’re in.” with two quick set-up cards:

Card	What it does
Booking notifications	Turns on push notifications so you’re told when a booking is confirmed, a guest-list request is approved, or a venue replies.
Venues near you	Enables location so SideDoor can show venues nearby and who’s out around you.

You can enable either, both or neither — and change your mind later.

Tip

You can revisit these choices any time. Location and notification categories live in your preferences.
