I've been trying to find a program that will let me use websites as apps forever now. I've tried everything.. Shift, Ferdi, Rambox, etc.

WebCatalog was good enough that I couldn't live with just two apps on their free plan. I bought the license and couldn't be happier. It has completely changed my workflow! Best part is that it's a one time payment of $30 for use!!

Well worth the money. You get a TON of stuff with it too, including SingleBox which is their version of Shift, and all of the apps laid out similar to a Distro/OS Store.

It seems like a joke to pay for this type of application. No chances. It's monthly!!! It's like he wants to steal money.

I like this app on Mac. But on Linux Ubuntu it is not supports well and releasing any BETA version - so sometimes it stop to work :-/

I found an alternative to create Web page as Desktop app - use Gnome Web browser (https://alternativeto.net/software/gnome-web/about/)!

I paid for a lifetime membership and after a while they ask me to pay and register again, i sent an email to support and i haven't heard anything, i guess they like to double charge.

It cleans up a lot of niggles Like the icon is a first class part of the task bar now, you can make the web sites dark even if they dont already have a dark mode.

WebCatalog has not been discontinued. The original website and GitHub pages changed and can be found here:

https://getwebcatalog.com/ and here: https://github.com/quanglam2807/webcatalog

WebCatalog is also available in the software repositories for users of Deepin 15.x Linux and is available in the Deepin Store. WebCatalog is the updated version of the now discontinued Appifier, although Appifier still works as well. This is an indispensable piece of software if you use many web apps. WebCatalog has most of the most popular listed for one-click installation and has no problem creating custom apps from any site you choose. Once an app has been created and installed, the app will appear and function as any other native application on your desktop.

WebCatalog is a great way to make desktop applications from apps that do not have native desktop versions for the currently used operating system. For example, Google Drive is not available natively for Linux and WebCatalog packages the web version into a desktop app that looks, feels, and performs like the versions that are available for Windows and MacOS.

What is WebCatalog?

WebCatalog is a software tool that converts web applications into standalone desktop applications, also known as site-specific browsers. It allows users to launch web applications in self-contained windows, equipped with features to enhance workflows. It also uses sandboxing technology to protect users from cross-website trackers.

WebCatalog allows users to transform websites into desktop applications that are compatible with Mac and Windows. It includes a 'spaces' feature for organizing applications and facilitates easy switching between multiple accounts.

The Desktop variant of WebCatalog addresses the issue of managing multiple browser tabs by converting web applications into desktop apps. It provides a distraction-free user experience and allows users to manage multiple accounts and apps using spaces.

WebCatalog safeguards user privacy by running websites in isolated environments, protecting against cross-website trackers. It simplifies the management of multiple accounts and apps, and includes a cloud backup and sync feature. Other features include attaching web apps to the menu bar, system integration, app lock for securing apps, and an ads & tracker blocker. It also has a catalog of thousands of apps and allows users to create custom apps from any website.
