A work Gmail, a personal Outlook, WhatsApp for family, Discord for your gaming group: on a busy day, that's a lot of browser tabs to keep track of. EasyMail and WebCatalog Desktop both pull those apps out of the browser and into one place, with work and personal accounts kept apart.
EasyMail is built for Windows, around a set of popular email and messaging services. WebCatalog Desktop does the same job for any web app you use, and gives each part of your life a window of its own, on Windows and Mac.

What is WebCatalog Desktop?
WebCatalog Desktop turns websites into desktop apps with their own windows, icons, and logins. You pick apps from a catalog of more than 65,000, or add any website, and group them into spaces: one window for work, another for home, or one for each client.
What is EasyMail?
EasyMail is a Windows app that promises "no more chaos" by bringing your favorite web apps into one place. It supports popular services such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, WhatsApp, Discord, Reddit, X, Notion, and ChatGPT, keeps cookies and logins separate for each account, and adds badge numbers, per-account notification settings, and filters for Gmail notifications by category.
1. Any app you use, not a set list
EasyMail is built around a set of well-known services. That covers email and chat, but most work also runs through a project tracker, a CRM, an internal dashboard, or a niche tool your team picked up last month.
In WebCatalog Desktop, those get the same treatment as Gmail. Search the catalog for Asana, HubSpot, or Zendesk and it arrives with the right name and icon, or add any website by its address. Every app gets tabs and tab groups, bookmarks, a downloads manager, and find, so a project board works as well as your inbox.
2. A window for each part of your day
EasyMail keeps all your services in one window. That's simple, until your manager's Outlook and your family's WhatsApp are pinging from the same place at nine at night.
WebCatalog Desktop lets you split things up with spaces. A "Work" space holds Outlook, Teams, and Notion; a "Home" space holds Gmail, WhatsApp, and Discord. Each space is its own window, with its own taskbar icon and global keyboard shortcut. Close "Work" at the end of the day and its notifications stop with it. Apps that don't belong to either, like ChatGPT or Spotify, can run on their own with their own icons.
3. Every account, side by side
Both apps keep work and personal accounts apart. In WebCatalog Desktop, each account has its own isolated session, and an app's accounts sit together in its sidebar: your work and personal Gmail in one place, each with its own picture and unread badge, both signed in.
You decide how loud each one is. Mute notifications, sounds, or the badge for one account and leave the rest alone, and press Ctrl plus a number to jump between them. Link rules send a link to the right app and account, and everything else opens in your default browser.
4. Windows today, any computer tomorrow
EasyMail runs on Windows 10 and 11. WebCatalog Desktop runs on Windows, including Arm, as well as macOS and Linux, and syncs your accounts list, folders, bookmarks, and settings across them. If you add a MacBook for travel, your apps are already waiting.
5. Privacy built into every app
WebCatalog Desktop includes a built-in ad and tracker blocker that runs in every app, an app lock that keeps your inbox private when you step away, and 1Password, Bitwarden, and LastPass inside each app. Proxies can be set per app or per account.
Which one should you choose?
EasyMail can make sense if you specifically want a simple Windows home for a handful of email and messaging accounts, with Gmail notifications filtered by category.
WebCatalog Desktop is the better fit if you:
- Use project tools, CRMs, or dashboards alongside your email and chat
- Want work and home apps in separate windows you can close
- Want tabs, link rules, and your password manager inside every app
- Use a Mac too, or might someday
Bring every app you use, not just your inbox, out of the browser: try WebCatalog Desktop.
