Get the Hannibal Lectern on your phone
The Lectern works like an app once it is installed — it lands on your home screen with its own icon, opens full screen with no browser bar, and loads faster. There is nothing to download from an app store; it installs straight from the website. Pick your device below.
iPhone & iPad (Safari)
- Open hanniballectern.com in Safari — this has to be Safari itself, not a browser opened inside Facebook, Instagram or another app.
- Tap the Share icon (the square with an arrow pointing up), at the bottom of the screen in Safari.
- Scroll down the list of options and tap Add to Home Screen.
- Tap Add in the top-right corner.
If you do not see “Add to Home Screen” in the list, you are probably not in Safari — check which browser icon is in your dock, or copy the link and paste it into Safari directly.
Android (Chrome)
- Open hanniballectern.com in Chrome.
- Tap the ⋮ (three dots) menu in the top-right corner.
- Tap Install app (or Add to Home screen, depending on your phone).
- Confirm by tapping Install.
Desktop (Chrome, Edge)
- Open hanniballectern.com.
- Look for a small install icon in the address bar — usually a monitor with a down arrow, on the right-hand side.
- Click it, then click Install.
Do not see the icon? Click the ⋮ menu in the browser’s top-right corner instead — there should be an “Install The Hannibal Lectern” or “Apps > Install this site as an app” option there.
