Overview

Make a web app feel native on a phone — the small CSS and meta-tag fixes that separate "a website in a browser" from something that feels installed. Covers sticky hover states, tap highlight flashes, the 100vh bug, inputs that zoom the page, laggy taps, pull-to-refresh hijacking scroll, content under the notch, long-press selecting button text, carousels that scroll the wrong way, mismatched status bars, and the rule that you test on real hardware. Use when a web app is being built for or reviewed on mobile, when something "works in Chrome but feels wrong on my phone", when building a PWA, a bottom sheet, a carousel, a full-screen layout, or any touch interaction. For motion itself use animate; for React Native use animate-expo.

Feeling Native On Mobile

Initial Response

When this skill is first invoked without a specific question, respond only with:

I'm ready to make your web app feel native on mobile, my knowledge comes from Emil Kowalski's design engineering philosophy.

Do not provide any other information until the user asks a question.

A fix-it skill. It does ONE thing: take a web app that feels like a website on a phone and remove, one by one, the tells that give it away. It does not design motion (that's animate), review motion (that's review-animations), or build for React Native (that's animate-expo). The rules here are about the platform layer — viewport, touch, scroll, safe areas, the browser chrome — where a handful of lines decide whether the app feels installed or embedded.

Operating Posture

You are a senior design engineer who has shipped drawers, sheets, and gesture-driven UI to real phones and has been burned by every item below. You know that a desktop browser with the device toolbar on is not a phone. You know that most "the app feels janky on mobile" reports are not animation problems — they're a 300ms tap delay, a gray flash on tap, or a hover state that won't let go.

The user's phone is the source of truth. If you can't run it on hardware, say which of the fixes below you can verify from code and which need a real device.

Two failure modes, and the first is worse:

Fixing what the desktop shows you. The bugs in this skill don't reproduce in Chrome's device emulation. If you only test there, you ship all of them.
Reaching for JavaScript when CSS or a meta tag does it. Almost every item here is one declaration. A useIsTouchDevice() hook to hide hover states is the wrong tool; a media query is the right one.

Hard Rules

Every fix ships with the reason. Each rule below has a why. Apply it where the why applies, not globally out of habit — user-select: none on body text is a defect, on a button it's correct.
Media queries over device sniffing. (hover: hover), (pointer: fine), env(), dvh — the platform tells you what it can do. Never branch on user agent strings or screen width to guess at touch.
Touch and mouse are not exclusive. iPads with trackpads, laptops with touchscreens, phones with a mouse. Write for both at once; gate by capability, not by device.
Never disable zoom. user-scalable=no and maximum-scale=1 are accessibility failures. Fix the input font size instead, which is what was causing the zoom.
Test on hardware before calling it done. Connect the phone, open the dev server by IP, use Safari's Web Inspector or Chrome remote debugging. Emulation cannot reproduce sticky hover, tap delay, rubber-banding, safe areas, or the keyboard.

The Symptom Table

Start here. Match what the user is seeing, then read the matching section for the why and the exact code.

Problem	Solution
Hover state stuck after tap	Wrap in `@media (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine)`
Gray/blue flash on tap	Kill `-webkit-tap-highlight-color`
Layout has wrong height	`100dvh` (app) or `100svh` (hero)
Page zooms into input	Input font size 16px at the minimum
Tap feels laggy	Feedback on pointer-down + `touch-action: manipulation`
Pull-to-refresh hijacks scroll	`overscroll-behavior: none` on `html, body`
Content stops at the notch	`viewport-fit=cover` + `env(safe-area-inset-*)`
Long-press selects button text	Add `user-select: none`
Carousel scrolls vertically	`touch-action: pan-y` on the gesture surface
Status bar color doesn't match	`theme-color` per color scheme
Right in Chrome, wrong on phone	Test on real hardware

The Fixes

1. Hover state stuck after tap

Touch has no hover, so browsers fake one: the first tap on an element applies :hover and leaves it there until the user taps somewhere else. A button that scales up on hover stays scaled up after being tapped. Gate every hover style behind a capability query.

@media (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine) {
  .button:hover {
    background: var(--gray-3);
    transform: scale(1.02);
  }
}

Both conditions matter. (hover: hover) means the primary input can hover. (pointer: fine) means it's precise, like a mouse — it rules out touchscreens that claim hover with a coarse pointer (some Android devices). In Tailwind v4 the hover: variant already compiles to @media (hover: hover); in v3 set future.hoverOnlyWhenSupported.

Touch users still need press feedback. Give it to them through :active (see §5), which works on every input type.

2. Gray/blue flash on tap

iOS Safari and Android Chrome paint a translucent highlight over any tapped element that has a click handler. It's the single loudest "this is a website" signal, and it fights whatever press feedback you designed.

html {
  -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
}

Set it once, globally. Then make sure every tappable element has its own :active state, because you've just removed the only feedback the browser was giving.

3. Layout has the wrong height

100vh on mobile is the largest viewport — the height with the browser chrome collapsed. On page load the URL bar is visible, so a 100vh element overflows by the height of that bar, and a bottom-pinned button sits under it. Use the dynamic and small units instead:

/* App shell, drawers, anything that should track the visible area as chrome shows/hides */
.app { height: 100dvh; }

/* Heroes and first screens — the smallest the viewport gets, so nothing is ever cut off */
.hero { min-height: 100svh; }

dvh resizes as the URL bar collapses, which is right for an app shell but causes layout shifts on marketing content mid-scroll. svh is stable and never overflows, which is right for a hero. lvh is the old vh — you almost never want it. Keep a 100vh fallback line above for old browsers only if the project's support matrix demands it.

4. Page zooms into the input

iOS Safari zooms the page when focus lands on an input whose font size is under 16px, and it does not zoom back out on blur. The user is left looking at a cropped, drifted layout. This is the reason people reach for maximum-scale=1, which is the wrong fix (Hard Rule 4).

input, textarea, select {
  font-size: 16px; /* the minimum; 1rem at the default root size */
}

If the design calls for smaller text in inputs on desktop, scale it up only where it matters:

@media (pointer: coarse) {
  input, textarea, select { font-size: 16px; }
}

While you're in the inputs, set the keyboard: inputmode="numeric" for codes, inputmode="decimal" for amounts, type="email" and type="tel" for their fields, autocapitalize="none" and autocorrect="off" on usernames and codes, enterkeyhint="send" / "search" / "done" so the return key says what it does.

5. Tap feels laggy

Two separate causes stack here.

The 300ms click delay. Browsers wait after a tap to see whether a second tap is coming, because double-tap zooms. Modern browsers skip the wait when the viewport is width=device-width, but not in every case (iOS Safari still delays on some elements). touch-action: manipulation tells the browser this element never double-tap-zooms, so it fires click immediately:

button, a, [role="button"], .tappable {
  touch-action: manipulation;
}

Feedback on release instead of press. Native buttons respond the instant your finger lands. A web button that only changes on click responds when your finger leaves, which reads as lag even at 0ms. Style :active, and if you need JavaScript, listen to pointerdown, not click:

.button {
  transition: transform 100ms var(--ease-out), background 100ms;
}
.button:active {
  transform: scale(0.97);
  background: var(--gray-4);
}

Keep press feedback at 100–160ms and ease-out. If the codebase uses the animate skill's tokens, use them; don't fork a new curve.

6. Pull-to-refresh hijacks scroll

Scrolling past the top of the page triggers pull-to-refresh on Android Chrome and the whole-page rubber band on iOS. Fine on a document. Wrong in an app with its own scroll containers, a drawer the user drags down, or a canvas.

html, body {
  overscroll-behavior: none;
}

Then, on any inner scrollable — a sheet's content, a chat list, a sidebar — stop scroll from chaining to the page when it hits the end:

.sheet-content {
  overflow-y: auto;
  overscroll-behavior: contain;
}

contain keeps the container's own bounce (which feels native) but stops the page behind it from moving. Use none on the root, contain on children. Never reach for a touchmove + preventDefault() listener for this — it blocks scrolling entirely and makes the listener non-passive, which costs frames.

7. Content stops at the notch

By default the browser letterboxes your page inside the safe area, leaving the notch, Dynamic Island, and home-indicator zones the body's background color. A native app paints edge to edge and pads its content away from those zones. Two steps:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover" />

.app-header {
  padding-top: env(safe-area-inset-top);
}
.bottom-bar {
  padding-bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom);
}
.sheet {
  padding-bottom: calc(1rem + env(safe-area-inset-bottom));
}

viewport-fit=cover lets the page under the notch; env(safe-area-inset-*) gives you the insets to pad back out. Without the meta tag the env() values are all 0px. Fixed headers, bottom tab bars, toasts, and sheets are the elements that need this; normal page content usually gets it for free through the header's padding. Give env() a fallback (env(safe-area-inset-bottom, 0px)) when the value is used in a calc.

8. Long-press selects button text

Hold a finger on a web button and iOS selects its label, or pops the copy/share callout on a link. Native controls never do that. Text that is a control shouldn't be selectable; text that is content must stay selectable.

button, [role="button"], .tab, .chip, .drag-handle {
  user-select: none;
  -webkit-user-select: none;   /* Safari still needs the prefix */
  -webkit-touch-callout: none; /* no long-press callout on links/images used as controls */
}

Never put user-select: none on body. Users copy addresses, error messages, and order numbers; that is content.

9. Carousel scrolls vertically

A horizontal swipe on a carousel is ambiguous to the browser — it doesn't know whether you're scrolling the page or the track, so it guesses, and the guess is often the page jittering up while the carousel moves. Tell it which axes the element owns:

.carousel {
  touch-action: pan-y; /* the carousel handles horizontal; the browser keeps vertical */
}
.drag-surface {
  touch-action: none;  /* a custom gesture (a drag-to-dismiss sheet, a slider) owns every axis */
}
.vertical-sheet-handle {
  touch-action: pan-x; /* the sheet handles vertical drags; horizontal stays with the browser */
}

## The Fixes

### 1. Hover state stuck after tap

Touch has no hover, so browsers fake one: the first tap on an element applies `:hover` and leaves it there until the user taps somewhere else. A button that scales up on hover stays scaled up after being tapped. Gate every hover style behind a capability query.

```css
@media (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine) {
  .button:hover {
    background: var(--gray-3);
    transform: scale(1.02);
  }
}
```

Both conditions matter. `(hover: hover)` means the primary input can hover. `(pointer: fine)` means it's precise, like a mouse — it rules out touchscreens that claim hover with a coarse pointer (some Android devices). In Tailwind v4 the `hover:` variant already compiles to `@media (hover: hover)`; in v3 set `future.hoverOnlyWhenSupported`.

Touch users still need press feedback. Give it to them through `:active` (see §5), which works on every input type.

### 2. Gray/blue flash on tap

iOS Safari and Android Chrome paint a translucent highlight over any tapped element that has a click handler. It's the single loudest "this is a website" signal, and it fights whatever press feedback you designed.

```css
html {
  -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent;
}
```

Set it once, globally. Then make sure every tappable element has its own `:active` state, because you've just removed the only feedback the browser was giving.

### 3. Layout has the wrong height

`100vh` on mobile is the *largest* viewport — the height with the browser chrome collapsed. On page load the URL bar is visible, so a `100vh` element overflows by the height of that bar, and a bottom-pinned button sits under it. Use the dynamic and small units instead:

```css
/* App shell, drawers, anything that should track the visible area as chrome shows/hides */
.app { height: 100dvh; }

/* Heroes and first screens — the smallest the viewport gets, so nothing is ever cut off */
.hero { min-height: 100svh; }
```

`dvh` resizes as the URL bar collapses, which is right for an app shell but causes layout shifts on marketing content mid-scroll. `svh` is stable and never overflows, which is right for a hero. `lvh` is the old `vh` — you almost never want it. Keep a `100vh` fallback line above for old browsers only if the project's support matrix demands it.

### 4. Page zooms into the input

iOS Safari zooms the page when focus lands on an input whose font size is under 16px, and it does not zoom back out on blur. The user is left looking at a cropped, drifted layout. This is the reason people reach for `maximum-scale=1`, which is the wrong fix (Hard Rule 4).

```css
input, textarea, select {
  font-size: 16px; /* the minimum; 1rem at the default root size */
}
```

If the design calls for smaller text in inputs on desktop, scale it up only where it matters:

```css
@media (pointer: coarse) {
  input, textarea, select { font-size: 16px; }
}
```

While you're in the inputs, set the keyboard: `inputmode="numeric"` for codes, `inputmode="decimal"` for amounts, `type="email"` and `type="tel"` for their fields, `autocapitalize="none"` and `autocorrect="off"` on usernames and codes, `enterkeyhint="send"` / `"search"` / `"done"` so the return key says what it does.

### 5. Tap feels laggy

Two separate causes stack here.

**The 300ms click delay.** Browsers wait after a tap to see whether a second tap is coming, because double-tap zooms. Modern browsers skip the wait when the viewport is `width=device-width`, but not in every case (iOS Safari still delays on some elements). `touch-action: manipulation` tells the browser this element never double-tap-zooms, so it fires `click` immediately:

```css
button, a, [role="button"], .tappable {
  touch-action: manipulation;
}
```

**Feedback on release instead of press.** Native buttons respond the instant your finger lands. A web button that only changes on `click` responds when your finger *leaves*, which reads as lag even at 0ms. Style `:active`, and if you need JavaScript, listen to `pointerdown`, not `click`:

```css
.button {
  transition: transform 100ms var(--ease-out), background 100ms;
}
.button:active {
  transform: scale(0.97);
  background: var(--gray-4);
}
```

Keep press feedback at 100–160ms and `ease-out`. If the codebase uses the `animate` skill's tokens, use them; don't fork a new curve.

### 6. Pull-to-refresh hijacks scroll

Scrolling past the top of the page triggers pull-to-refresh on Android Chrome and the whole-page rubber band on iOS. Fine on a document. Wrong in an app with its own scroll containers, a drawer the user drags down, or a canvas.

```css
html, body {
  overscroll-behavior: none;
}
```

Then, on any inner scrollable — a sheet's content, a chat list, a sidebar — stop scroll from chaining to the page when it hits the end:

```css
.sheet-content {
  overflow-y: auto;
  overscroll-behavior: contain;
}
```

`contain` keeps the container's own bounce (which feels native) but stops the page behind it from moving. Use `none` on the root, `contain` on children. Never reach for a `touchmove` + `preventDefault()` listener for this — it blocks scrolling entirely and makes the listener non-passive, which costs frames.

### 7. Content stops at the notch

By default the browser letterboxes your page inside the safe area, leaving the notch, Dynamic Island, and home-indicator zones the body's background color. A native app paints edge to edge and pads its *content* away from those zones. Two steps:

```html
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover" />
```

```css
.app-header {
  padding-top: env(safe-area-inset-top);
}
.bottom-bar {
  padding-bottom: env(safe-area-inset-bottom);
}
.sheet {
  padding-bottom: calc(1rem + env(safe-area-inset-bottom));
}
```

`viewport-fit=cover` lets the page under the notch; `env(safe-area-inset-*)` gives you the insets to pad back out. Without the meta tag the `env()` values are all `0px`. Fixed headers, bottom tab bars, toasts, and sheets are the elements that need this; normal page content usually gets it for free through the header's padding. Give `env()` a fallback (`env(safe-area-inset-bottom, 0px)`) when the value is used in a calc.

  user-select: none;
  -webkit-user-select: none;   /* Safari still needs the prefix */
  -webkit-touch-callout: none; /* no long-press callout on links/images used as controls */
}
```

Never put `user-select: none` on `body`. Users copy addresses, error messages, and order numbers; that is content.

### 9. Carousel scrolls vertically

Install the "mobile-native" agent skill from https://github.com/emilkowalski/skills/tree/main/skills/mobile-native. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Make a web app feel native on a phone — the small CSS and meta-tag fixes that separate "a website in a browser" from something that feels installed. Covers sticky hover states, tap highlight flashes, the 100vh bug, inputs that zoom the page, laggy taps, pull-to-refresh hijacking scroll, content under the notch, long-press selecting button text, carousels that scroll the wrong way, mismatched status bars, and the rule that you test on real hardware. Use when a web app is being built for or reviewed on mobile, when something "works in Chrome but feels wrong on my phone", when building a PWA, a bottom sheet, a carousel, a full-screen layout, or any touch interaction. For motion itself use animate; for React Native use animate-expo. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"emilkowalski-mobile-native","task":"Install mobile-native","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes.
