====== 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 recommended using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
Note: Firefox Desktop does not support app installation.

  - 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.
