How to Install Chore.md as a Desktop PWA

While Chore.md runs perfectly inside a browser tab, sometimes you want a dedicated writing environment that feels like a native desktop app. By leveraging Progressive Web App (PWA) standards, you can install Chore.md directly on your operating system.

Why install the PWA?

Installing Chore.md as a PWA grants several benefits:

  • Dedicated Window: Runs in a clean app container without URL bars, tabs, or browser clutter.
  • Offline Mode: Launches instantly offline utilizing Service Workers and cached script bundles.
  • System Integration: Pin the app to your macOS Dock or Windows Taskbar, and find it inside your Applications directory.

Installation Steps

On Chrome / Edge

1. Open chore.md in your browser.
2. Look at the right side of the address bar. You will see a small screen icon with a downward arrow (Install icon).
3. Click the icon and confirm by choosing Install.
4. Chore.md will launch immediately in a dedicated desktop window.

On Safari (macOS)

1. Open chore.md in Safari.
2. Click the Share button in the browser toolbar.
3. Select Add to Dock.
4. Confirm the name and launch Chore.md from your macOS launchpad.
