Install Perlin Studio as an app (PWA)

The studio is an installable web app. Installing gives it its own window and an icon; it does not change what it can do.

Install

• Chrome, Edge (desktop): open https://pages.jkaindl.de/perlin-studio/, then use the install icon at the right of the address bar, or the browser menu → Install Perlin Studio.
• Safari on iOS / iPadOS: open the site, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
• Safari on macOS 14+: File → Add to Dock.
• Android Chrome: menu → Install app / Add to Home screen.

The app opens in a standalone window (display: standalone) and starts at the studio.

What to expect

• It needs a connection to load. There is deliberately no service worker and no offline cache, so the installed app fetches its files from the site like a normal page. Once loaded, the studio itself needs no network; exporting works offline in that session.
• Updates need no action. Files are fetched with normal validation (ETag), so the installed app picks up a new release the next time it starts or reloads. There is no cache version to clear.
• Your settings stay. The theme and the renderer choice are kept in the browser's local storage for this site.

Prefer a file?

You can also open index.html from a clone of the repository directly, or run it from a local server; see Getting started. For a live desktop background there is a native app: Install the macOS app.
