# Using the web app as an installed web app
|
|
|
|
While ntfy doesn't have a native desktop app, it is built as a [progressive web app](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Progressive_web_apps)
|
|
and thus can be installed on both desktop and mobile.
|
|
|
|
This gives it its own launcher (e.g. shortcut on Windows, app on macOS, launcher shortcut on Linux) own window,
|
|
push notifications, and an app badge with the unread notification count.
|
|
|
|
To receive background notifications, either the browser or the installed web app must be open.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TODO: (Q4 2023) Safari 17 / macOS 14 Sonoma supports installable PWAs too -->
|
|
|
|
Web app installation is supported on Chrome and Edge on desktop, as well as Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS.
|
|
Look at the [compatibility table](https://caniuse.com/web-app-manifest) for more info.
