Installing Easy POS as an App (PWA)

Easy POS is an installable Progressive Web App — you can put it on a till, tablet, or desktop like a native app, complete with a standalone window, a home-screen/app-list icon, and a custom splash screen.

Desktop (Chrome / Edge)

1. Open /posapp in the browser.
2. Click the install icon in the address bar (or the browser menu → Install Easy POS).
3. The app opens in its own window from then on, separate from your regular browser tabs.

Mobile / tablet (Android Chrome, iOS Safari)

1. Open /posapp in the browser.
2. Use the browser's Add to Home Screen option.
3. Launch it from the home screen icon like any other app.

What gets cached

The app shell (JS, CSS, icons) is precached by a service worker for instant repeat loads, with a prompt-to-reload banner whenever a new version is deployed — you're never silently reloaded mid-transaction.

Transactional data and API calls are always fetched live (cookie-based auth, shared-terminal safe) — this covers installability and fast reloads only, not full offline operation. See Offline & Sync (Preview) for what's planned there.
