Since Organized utilizes modern PWA technology, downloading it through traditional app stores is not a must. Currently, the app is not available in any app stores. Instead, you can easily set it up as a Progressive Web App (PWA) by following the instructions provided in the paragraph above.

However, we are actively working on a solution to publish the app in popular app stores using native wrapper apps. These wrappers will offer a native app on each platform while maintaining a unified codebase, enabling faster development and reducing maintenance costs. This approach will also make it easier for users to discover and download the app in a familiar way.

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a type of website that works like a native app but runs in your web browser. It provides a fast and reliable experience, can work offline, and even send you notifications. You can either use it on any device with a modern web browser, just like a regular website, or click “Install” button to add the app to your home page and get better experience.

## Is Organized a web/cloud-based, or native app?
36
+
37
+
Organized isn’t a cloud-based or fully online app, but it’s not a traditional native app either. While you can access it through a web browser, it is designed to work locally on your device. When you register and open the app for the first time, it automatically downloads and caches all necessary data on your device. After that, most interactions, such as managing tasks and schedules, are performed directly on your device, allowing you to use it even offline.
38
+
39
+
This approach provides significant benefits in terms of security and convenience. Since your data is stored locally, you maintain full control over it. Additionally, because Organized isn't internet-dependent, you can continue to use it without needing a constant connection – ideal for managing congregation tasks wherever you are.
