Progressive Web App
Table of Contents
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

- 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.
