Desktop apps
Turn websites into desktop apps
Your important tools shouldn't get buried in browser tabs. Give each one its own window, icon, and place in your Dock or taskbar.
Out of the tab pile, into its own window.
A better way to use web apps
Its own window
Every website opens as its own app, icon and all.
Pin to your Dock or taskbar
Your most-used apps, one click away.
Notifications and badges
Native notifications and unread counts, like any desktop app.
Made for the apps you live in
Any website that deserves its own window
Chat & email
Keep Slack, Gmail, and Messenger open all day, never lost in a tab.
Docs & design
Put Notion, Figma, and Google Docs in windows you can place side by side.
Music & video
Spotify and YouTube keep playing when you close the browser.
Dashboards & tools
Analytics, admin panels, and internal tools, one click away.
WebCatalog vs. browser-installed apps
Both give websites their own windows. WebCatalog adds profiles, app-specific extensions, and built-in privacy controls.
Browser-installed apps
Install websites using your existing browser.
- Use built-in app installation

WebCatalog
Built for people who use web apps throughout the day.

What's under the hood
Each app is a site-specific browser: the web version of the service in its own browser, with its own cookies, sessions, and extensions. Features match what the website offers.
Privacy controls
Customize and protect your apps
Keep app data separate from your browser, block ads and trackers, and use app lock to control access on your computer.
Your own extensions
Add extensions to one app without touching the others.
Keep app data separate
Keep app cookies and sign-ins separate from your everyday browser.
Block ads and trackers
Turn on built-in ad and tracker blocking in your app settings.
Lock your apps
Set a password and an auto-lock delay for when you switch away.
What these controls protect
These controls separate app data from your browser and help limit access on your computer. They don't make you anonymous online.
