<meta name="application-title">

The name="application-title" attribute for the <meta> HTML element sets an installed web application's title bar text. It is most useful when native HTML semantics or browser capabilities can replace custom implementation work.

Use cases

  • Use <meta name="application-title">

    Use <meta name="application-title"> when standard HTML needs a more specific platform feature, semantic signal, or browser capability.

  • Handle edge cases

    Apply <meta name="application-title"> to solve a focused requirement without redesigning the whole page architecture.

Cautions

  • Test <meta name="application-title"> in your target browsers and input environments before depending on it as a primary behavior.
  • Provide a fallback path or acceptable degradation strategy when support is still limited.

Accessibility

  • Make sure <meta name="application-title"> supports the intended task without making the page harder to perceive, understand, or operate.
