WebCatalog

Travis Build Status.

Notice: The original WebCatalog has been streamlined and renamed to Appifier. This app is a fork of the original one and only works on macOS.

WebCatalog acts as GUI (graphical user interface) for appifier npm version to make it more accessible to non-technical users. The app includes a web app catalog; automatically adds generated native apps to menu or desktop; and provides an interface to manage and update the apps. It also offers some additional optimizations like resource sharing.

WebCatalog for macOS

Requirements

  • macOS 10.9+.
  • Node.js 8+.

Usage

To create a native desktop app for duckduckgo.com:

Download and install WebCatalog from its official website: https://webcatalog.io. Open WebCatalog, then search for DuckDuckGo. Finally, click "Install" and wait for a while. Done! Magic.

How It Works

WebCatalog is an Electron app which basically uses appifier under the hood to generate the apps. Additionally, WebCatalog reads the metadata stored in the generated apps to allow users to easily manage & update them.
