For a more native, app-like experience, you can install Realm as a Progressive Web App (PWA) on your desktop and mobile devices. This runs Realm in its own dedicated window, separate from your browser.

## Installation

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Desktop">
    In your browser, navigate to your organization's Realm URL and look for an install icon in the address bar. Click it to add Realm to your desktop or applications folder.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="iOS">
    Open your Realm URL in Safari, tap the Share icon, and select Add to Home Screen.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Android">
    Open your Realm URL in Chrome, tap the three-dot menu, and select Install app or Add to Home Screen.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Tip>
  Installing Realm as a PWA provides faster access and a cleaner interface without browser tabs and toolbars.
