Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/issues/730
as far as i know there is currently now way of launching the integrated sidestore from homescreen
would be a nice feature to add
@Write commented on GitHub (Sep 1, 2025):
Yup that surprised me too !

You can make a shortcut that opens a url to
sidestore:and that should open the integrated SideStore and you can put it on the home screen with the SideStore name and icon@Write commented on GitHub (Sep 14, 2025):
On my end it ask to opens it in LiveContainer 2, which obviously doesn't work.
But it seems tracked in #823 and fixed in
ac2b99d, so it'll work soon™ !Build containing the fix : https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/actions/runs/17677486416
@Scr-eam commented on GitHub (Sep 30, 2025):
any idea if something like this will be a feature? i think it'd be sick if we could hold down apps installed inside of livecontainer and hit something like "add to home screen" which would create a shortcut with the app icon and name which opens the app from livecontainer.

If you visit
sidestore://it will open the integrated SideStore. You can create a home screen shortcut (webclip) here and set the URL tosidestore://or add the SideStore widget to your home screen and just tap on that, which will take you to the integrated sidestore.@YHangbin commented on GitHub (Feb 10, 2026):
When I have already opened an app A in LiveContainer and then trigger the action to open sidestore://, it still opens app A instead of SideStore itself. Is this the expected behavior? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
@Write commented on GitHub (Feb 10, 2026):
Yup, for now you'll have to close the app. Would be a great addition to have a popup asking to force open-it.
@YHangbin commented on GitHub (Feb 10, 2026):
I found a workaround: Open LiveContainer first using livecontainer://livecontainer-launch?bundle-name=ui, wait 2 seconds, then use sidestore:// to launch SideStore.
@hugeBlack commented on GitHub (Feb 10, 2026):
Fixed. Now lc will show a prompt if you open sidestore:// while an app is open asking whether you want to relaunch into sidestore
