Install the Waypoint app & turn on push

Add Waypoint to your home screen for an app-like experience, and enable push notifications.

MembersUpdated July 2, 2026

Waypoint is a Progressive Web App — it runs in your browser and can be installed to your home screen, so it opens full-screen like a native app, works offline for basics, and can send push notifications.

Install it

  1. Android / Chrome / Edge

    Tap the Install banner when it appears, or open the browser menu and choose Install app / Add to Home screen.

  2. iPhone / iPad (Safari)

    Tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. On iOS, installing is also required before push notifications will work.

  3. Desktop (Chrome / Edge)

    Click the install icon in the address bar to run Waypoint in its own window.

Getting around on your phone

On phones a bottom tab bar gives you one-tap access to Home, Sessions, Feed, Messages, and your profile. The ☰ menu (top-left) has everything else — Guilds, Venues, the Academy, the Forge, the Shop — plus search.

Turn on push notifications

  1. Open notification settings

    Go to Profile → Notifications.

  2. Enable on this device

    Use Push notifications on this device → Turn on and allow notifications when your browser asks.

  3. Repeat per device

    Push is per device, so enable it on each phone or computer you want alerts on.

What you'll get

Once on, you'll get alerts for the same things you see in your notification center— RSVPs, messages, friend requests, and more — even when Waypoint isn't open. Fine-tune types anytime in notification settings.

Offline

Lost signal? Waypoint shows a friendly offline screen instead of a browser error, and reconnects automatically when you're back online.
