Install Tailwind KOMpass as an app

Tailwind KOMpass is now a Progressive Web App (PWA). That means you can add it to your phone's home screen and launch it like any native app — full-screen, with its own icon, no browser bars in the way.

Install it in one tap

  • Android / Chrome: open Settings → Install app and confirm the prompt.
  • iPhone / Safari: tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen.
  • Once installed it opens straight to the map, and the wind map and shell load instantly — even on a flaky signal — thanks to offline caching.

Push notifications for Pro riders

  • On /alerts, Pro riders can now switch on push notifications per device — tailwind alerts arrive on your phone the moment a forecast turns favorable, alongside (or instead of) email.
  • Push respects all your existing alert settings — thresholds, quiet hours, and per-segment windows — so you only hear from us when it's worth riding.
  • On iPhone, install KOMpass to your home screen first; iOS only allows push once the app is added.

Email alerts are unchanged and still work for everyone — push is simply a faster, parallel channel for Pro riders who want it on their device.
