About WebCatalog

WebCatalog lets you run web apps as native-like desktop applications. It wraps websites in a lightweight browser shell, giving them their own window, taskbar icon, and keyboard shortcuts—so you can keep Slack, Notion, or Gmail separate from your main browser tabs.

What it does

You paste a URL, choose an icon and name, and WebCatalog generates a standalone app. It supports custom CSS/JS injection, automatic updates, and works offline for cached sites. The app runs on Electron, but is optimized for low memory usage.

Best for

Users who hate tab clutter and want dedicated windows for frequent web apps
Developers testing web apps in isolated environments
Anyone needing offline access to web-based tools like Google Docs or Trello

Strengths
