**Prerequisites:** None.

**Required permission:** None — every user can install the app and manage their own notifications.

Tooling Metrics is a Progressive Web App (PWA) — it can be installed like a native app on desktop and mobile, and it can push notifications to you even when the browser tab isn't open. Both are optional and configured from the same screen.

## Install Tooling Metrics as an app

The steps depend on your browser. Chrome and Firefox on desktop install directly from the address bar or menu without extra steps; the browsers below need one of these instead:

**Microsoft Edge:**
1. Click the install icon in the address bar.
1. Click **Install**.

**Chrome on Android:**
1. Tap the menu button (⋮).
1. Tap **Install app**.

**Firefox on Android:**
1. Tap the menu button (⋮).
1. Tap **Install**.

**Safari on macOS:**
1. Click **File** in the menu bar.
1. Click **Add to Dock…**.

**Safari or Chrome on iOS:**
1. Tap the Share icon.
1. Tap **Add to Home Screen**.

## Turn on push notifications

1. Click your avatar at the bottom of the sidebar → **Setting**.
1. Click the **Notification Settings** tab.
1. Click **Turn ON push notifications on this device**.
1. When your browser prompts for permission, click **Allow**.

Once enabled, the tab shows **Push notifications are ON**.

## Notes

- If your browser reports notifications as blocked, you'll need to re-enable them from your browser's own site settings for Tooling Metrics — the Notification Settings tab shows a **"Not receiving notifications?"** help panel with steps specific to your browser and operating system.
- Push notifications require both browser permission and a service worker registration; if you deny the permission prompt, you'll need to reset it in your browser's site settings before you can turn notifications on again — Tooling Metrics itself can't re-prompt you.
- Installing the app is not required to receive push notifications, and vice versa — they're independent, both optional.
