Mobile saving

Get a “Save to Batata” action in your phone's share sheet. Setup is one-time; saving is a couple of taps after that.

Android (Chrome)

Batata works as a PWA. After installing, it appears in any app's share sheet alongside other apps.

  1. Open batata.page in Chrome on your phone.
  2. Sign in if you haven't already.
  3. Go to Settings. If the install criteria are met, you'll see a one-tap Install Batata app button.
  4. If you don't see the button: tap Chrome's ⋮ menu → Add to Home screen.

From any app: tap Share → choose Batata. The save form opens pre-filled with the URL and title.

iPhone / iPad (Safari)

iOS Safari doesn't support the Web Share Target API yet, so we use an iOS Shortcut instead. The setup is one-time and adds “Save to Batata” to your share sheet permanently.

Make sure you're signed in to batata.page in Safari first. The Shortcut opens the save form in Safari, which relies on your session.

The full step-by-step is on the Settings page under Save from your phone → iPhone & iPad. It builds a 3-step Shortcut that combines https://batata.page/new?url=with the URL you're sharing, then opens it.

From any browser (bookmarklet fallback)

The bookmarklet works on mobile too, though it's clunkier than the share sheet. On iOS Safari, save any page as a regular bookmark, then edit the bookmark and replace its URL with the bookmarklet JavaScript — there's a copyable version in Settings.

Saving from non-browser apps

Once the PWA or iOS Shortcut is installed, you can save URLs from anywhere that exposes a share sheet — Twitter/X, Reddit, Mail, Messages, RSS readers, podcast apps, the Photos app for screenshots with links, etc.
