Install Shortwave's PWA

For users on other platforms like Linux or those who prefer PWAs, Shortwave supports installing progressive web apps (PWA) on Chromium-based browsers that look and feel like a desktop app.

Installing the Progressive Web App

1. Go to app.shortwave.com in Chrome, Edge, or any other Chromium-based browser except Arc.
2. Click the install button at the end of the address bar
3. Follow the on-screen instructions
   
4. To run the app on startup, go to about://apps in your browser
5. Right click Shortwave
6. Select Start app when you sign in

Don't see the install button?

• Our app currently isn't supported with Firefox as the default browser
• If you've installed the app previously, you may see the option to open Shortwave in your URL bar:
  

Arc

Arc does not currently support installing PWAs directly. However, you can still use Shortwave by visiting app.shortwave.com in your Arc browser, or by downloading the PWA via Chrome.
