# Installing Amino as a Progressive Web App (PWA)

Get more out of Amino by installing the PWA.

[Progressive Web Apps](https://web.dev/progressive-web-apps/) (or PWAs) are an exciting development in browser technology that extends web applications by making them installable as a standalone experience on any platform using a single codebase. This document demonstrates how to install Amino as a PWA using Chrome for Mac, but the same process can be used to install Amino as a PWA on other platforms.

Follow these easy steps to install.

**Click the Install button on your browser toolbar, click Install:**
