How to Make Fake Dashboards Look Real on Your Phone
Technical tips for realistic fake dashboards on iPhone: home screen install, custom icons, URL bar hiding, and editable metrics.
Hide the browser URL bar
Nothing breaks immersion faster than a Safari address bar showing an unrelated domain. Add LARP to your iPhone home screen via Safari’s Share menu — it opens standalone, like a native app.
LARP’s Settings include a step-by-step PWA install guide and favicon presets for Shopify, Stripe, Binance, and more.
Match the platform branding
Change the tab title to match the platform — for example Shopify - My Store. Upload or select a favicon that matches the app you are simulating. Set your store or account name so headers look authentic.
Use tap-to-edit instead of screenshots
Screenshots pixelate when zoomed and cannot be changed mid-recording. Interactive fake dashboards let you tap a metric, update it, and keep filming — essential for rep dashboards that need to feel live.
Add fake notifications for extra realism
When someone hears a notification sound and sees a lock-screen alert matching your dashboard numbers, the whole setup feels real. LARP handles both in one app.
