ThermalTrace includes a Progressive Web App manifest and service worker. You can install it like an app on supported browsers for a standalone window, offline shell caching, and (on Pro) Web Push alerts.
Desktop (Chrome / Edge)
- Open the site while signed in.
- Look for the install icon in the address bar, or use the browser menu → Install app.
- Confirm. The app opens without browser chrome and starts at the dashboard.
Android
- Open the site in Chrome.
- Tap the menu → Install app / Add to Home screen.
iPhone / iPad (Safari)
iOS does not support the same Web Push / install APIs as desktop Chrome. You can still add a home-screen shortcut:
- Open the site in Safari (not Chrome or in-app browsers).
- Tap the Share button → Add to Home Screen.
- Open the icon for a full-screen experience.
Push notifications on iOS require iOS 16.4+ and installing via Add to Home Screen, then enabling push from the dashboard alert settings (Pro). Results vary by iOS version; email and Discord remain the most reliable channels on Apple devices.
After install
- Enable browser push from Dashboard → Alerts (Pro).
- Keep the service worker updated by visiting the site occasionally.
- Live readings still need network access; the offline cache only helps the shell and last cached payload.
