What Is a PWA? OfflineLog Explained
PWA stands for Progressive Web App - a website that works like a native app. You can install it on your device, use it offline, and it has its own icon. No app store needed.
What a PWA is
A PWA is a website built with modern browser technology so it behaves like a regular app. You can install it to your desktop or phone home screen, and it appears with its own icon - just like an app you'd download from an app store. It works offline, loads fast, and doesn't take up much storage space.
How it is different from a native app
A native app is downloaded from the App Store or Google Play. It is built specifically for one platform - iOS or Android. A PWA runs in your browser and works on any device with a modern browser: Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android.
How OfflineLog works as a PWA
When you buy OfflineLog, you receive an HTML file by email. Save it to your device, open it in your browser, and you're ready to go. All your client data is stored inside your browser - no cloud, no server. If you want it to behave like a regular app, install it to your home screen or desktop. Once installed, it opens in its own window with its own icon, and works fully offline.
