Install Strety as a progressive web app so you can open your workspace from your desktop, taskbar, dock, or app launcher.

Written by Dan Lapuz

Install Strety as a progressive web app when you want faster access to your workspace from your device. A progressive web app, or PWA, lets Strety open in its own app-style window so you can access it from your desktop, taskbar, dock, Start menu, launcher, or app list, depending on your device.

The video above provides a full walkthrough of how to install Strety as a progressive web app. For step-by-step written instructions, continue to the sections below.


Before you install Strety as a progressive web app

You need:

  • Access to your Strety account

  • A browser that supports installed web apps, such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or supported versions of Firefox

  • Permission to install apps, shortcuts, or browser-based web apps on your device

Note: The install option may look different depending on your browser, device, operating system, and browser version.


Install Strety as a progressive web app

  1. Open Strety in your browser.

  2. Look for the install icon or app install option.

    In many browsers, the install icon appears on the right side of the address bar when the site can be installed as a web app.
    Chrome:

    strety-pwa-install-icon-chrome-mac


    Microsoft Edge:

    strety-pwa-install-icon-edge-windows


    Firefox:

    strety-pwa-install-option-firefox-windows

  3. Click the install icon or select the app install option.

  4. Review the installation pop-up window.

  5. Click Install or follow the browser prompt to finish installing Strety.

    Chrome:

    strety-pwa-install-popup-chrome-mac


    Microsoft Edge:

    strety-pwa-install-popup-edge-windows
  6. Wait for Strety to open in its own app-style window.

After installation, Strety opens separately from your regular browser tabs. You can use it like another app on your device while still staying connected to your Strety workspace.


Add Strety where you can find it quickly

Once Strety is installed as a progressive web app, you can add it to a convenient location on your device. The available options depend on your operating system and browser.

You may be able to:

  • Add a desktop shortcut

  • Pin Strety to your taskbar

    strety-pwa-pin-taskbar-windows
  • Keep Strety in your dock

    strety-pwa-keep-in-dock-mac
  • Add Strety to your Start menu or app launcher

  • Open Strety from your device’s app list

The next time you want to open Strety, select the Strety app icon or shortcut instead of opening a new browser tab.


What to expect after installation

Installing Strety as a progressive web app does not create a separate Strety account or change your workspace. It gives you a more app-like way to access the same Strety web experience.

With Strety installed as a progressive web app, you can:

  • Open Strety from your device like a regular app

  • Keep Strety separate from your other browser tabs

  • Access Strety from a shortcut, taskbar, dock, Start menu, launcher, or app list when supported by your device

  • Return to the browser version of Strety whenever needed

Tip: If you use Strety throughout the day, adding the app to a visible location can help keep your workspace easy to access during meetings, Check-Ins, and planning sessions.


If the install option does not appear

If you do not see the install icon or app install option, check the following:

  • Confirm you are signed in to Strety in a supported browser

  • Refresh the page and check the address bar or browser menu again

  • Update your browser to the latest version available for your device

  • Confirm your device allows installed apps, shortcuts, or browser-based web apps

Some browsers and devices handle progressive web apps differently. If the install option is not available, you can still access Strety from your browser.
