Install Slima as PWA

PWA (Progressive Web App) lets Slima run like a native app outside the browser — no installer to download, the browser handles it.

Chrome / Edge (desktop + Android)

1. Open slima.ai and sign in
2. Look at the right side of the address bar — an "Install Slima" download-arrow icon appears
3. Click it → confirm "Install?" → done
4. Slima now lives in your dock / start menu as its own app

Safari (macOS + iOS)

macOS Safari

1. Open slima.ai
2. System menu File → "Add to Dock" → confirm
3. The Slima icon appears in your Dock

iOS Safari

1. Open slima.ai in Safari
2. Bottom Share icon → "Add to Home Screen" → confirm
3. The Slima icon appears on your home screen

Firefox

Firefox desktop has limited PWA support. Options:

• Use Chrome / Edge / Safari instead for the PWA install
• Or wait for Electron desktop (🚧 in development)

Firefox on Android supports "Install" from the menu.

After installing

The installed Slima PWA behaves like a native app:

• Standalone window — not a browser tab anymore
• Its own dock / start-menu icon
• Independent window management (⌘ Tab / Alt Tab switches to it on its own)
• Auto-update — updates in the background; prompts a restart when a new version is ready

Update details: PWA auto-update

PWA vs Electron desktop

Comparison	PWA	Electron desktop (🚧 in development)
Size	~5 MB cache	~100 MB
Install	One click in the browser	Run an installer
OS-native menus	None	Yes (File / Edit / View, etc.)
Auto-update	✅	✅
Offline	✅	✅

PWA is lighter; Electron integrates deeper with the OS.

Uninstall

• Desktop: click the Slima PWA icon → window menu → "Uninstall Slima"
• Mobile: long-press the home-screen icon → "Remove"

Uninstalling doesn't affect your account or books — just sign back in from slima.ai.
