 ====== Progressive Web App ======
+COBI.time can now be installed and used just like an app. \\
+This offers the convenience of a native application without the need for a web UI.
+===== What is a PWA? =====
+A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application that starts via its own app icon and runs in its own window (without a browser bar).
+**The Benefits:**
+  * **Quick access** directly via the Desktop or Start Menu
+  * **App-like usage** (focused window)
+  * **Ideal for terminals** and shared devices
+  * **Automatic updates** – the app always stays up to date
+===== Installation (Windows) =====
+Installation is generally recommended for **Google Chrome** or **Microsoft Edge**, as these browsers support the feature natively.
+**Instructions for Chrome & Edge:**
+  - Open COBI.time in your browser: [[https://time.....cloud/]]
+  - Click on the **"Install"** icon on the right side of the address bar (often a monitor symbol with an arrow).
+  - Confirm the installation in the dialog window.
+Google Chrome: \\
