This guide explains how to obtain and install an application on your computer from certain Infomaniak interfaces such as kSuite or those that allow you to manage your calendars/agendas or your address books.

 

Preamble

  • A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web-based application that offers an experience similar to that of a native application.
  • PWAs are fast, accessible directly from your browser, and can offer features such as offline functionality or sending notifications.
  • Installing a PWA allows you to create a standalone application on your computer without going through a store traditional.

 

Install a progressive web app (PWA)

To download the PWA app (example here with Infomaniak Mail), depending on the browser used:

  1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Web app Calendar.
  2. Once the page is loaded, check for the presence of the installation icon in the browser's address bar (often represented by a screen with a “+”):
    • Google Chrome / Chromium:
      Click on the installation icon located in the address bar, or open the menu and then click on Install [application name].
    • Microsoft Edge:
      Click on the Applications icon in the address bar or open the menu, then select Applications > Install this site as an application.
    • Mozilla Firefox:
      PWA installation is not fully supported natively. However, it is possible to use alternative solutions (extensions or shortcut creation) to simulate similar behavior.
    • Safari (macOS):
      From recent versions of macOS, open the File menu and then click on Add to Dock to create a web application.
  3. The app is then present on your computer (example here with Infomaniak Calendar) and allows you to open the data while being completely autonomous outside the browser:
  4. Once the app is on your computer, you can easily return to the app from other Infomaniak pages:

To remove this local application system:

  1. Open the previously installed application.
  2. Click on the action menu or depending on your browser.
  3. Select Uninstall or Remove the application.
  4. Confirm the deletion if necessary.
  5. You can also remove the application directly from your operating system (like any other application) or move the icon to the trash:
