Install ARGOS as an app#

ARGOS can be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your mobile phone or desktop, offering a range of benefits that enhance your browsing experience:

  • App-like Interface: PWAs look and feel like native apps. They offer an app icon that can be placed next to your other frequently used apps, providing easy and quick access.

  • Full-Screen Navigation: PWAs provide a superior user experience with full-screen navigation, free from the distraction of the browser search bar.

  • Convenience: Forget about remembering URLs. With a PWA, you can access your favorite site directly from your device’s home screen.

  • Save Credentials: PWAs allow you to store your login credentials on your device, eliminating the need to remember and enter them each time you visit the site.
