Recently, Google Chrome has made PWAs, or Progressive Web Apps, a standard in both Chromium and competing browsers such as Safari and Firefox. These installable web apps offer a native experience in terms of performance and implementation. They also have the added benefit of saving storage, if it is a concern.

You've likely seen the "Add audiotool to your Homescreen" banner, which installs Audiotool (www.audiotool.com) as a PWA on your desktop or mobile device with an updated Chromium browser. This guide shows how to install Audiotool Studio (www.audiotool.com/app) manually on your desktop.

Installing Audiotool Studio

1. Open Google Chrome
2. Go to (link is only visible to registered users)
3. Click the three-dot menu at the top right
4. Navigate to More Tools and click Create Shortcut...
5. In the dialogue box, you may rename the shortcut to Audiotool Studio (this is good if you already have Audiotool installed and want to differentiate the two apps)
6. Select Open as new window
7. Click Create
8. The Studio will open as a standalone PWA. You may then add it to your Taskbar or Dock

The icon for the app will not be optimised for larger viewing (e.g. on the Dock). So, (link is only visible to registered users) has provided an Audiotool icon as a part of their (link is only visible to registered users). I've included (link is only visible to registered users) which includes ICNS, ICO, and PNG files included in the original pack.

Hope you all enjoy!
