What is Spider?
Spider is a GNOME utility that turns any website into an independent, native-like desktop application. Each web app runs in its own isolated WebKit instance, improving security and performance. It lets you customize icons, titles, and window colors to match the site or GNOME theme, creating a cohesive native look. Spider also includes features like custom user agents, window size memory, and easy app management (edit, update, or delete). Distributed via Flatpak on Flathub, it’s simple to install and maintain. Perfect for using services like Gmail, Trello, or YouTube in dedicated windows, it keeps your workspace clean, organized, and seamlessly integrated into the Linux desktop.
