WebCatalog: Turn Any Website Into a Desktop App
The modern digital workspace often feels like a cluttered desk covered in sticky notes. You find yourself buried under dozens of browser tabs, constantly switching between email, project management tools, and social feeds, only to lose your place or accidentally close a critical window.
This constant context switching isn’t just annoying; it drains your mental energy and kills your focus. Juggling multiple logins for the same service usually requires a messy dance between different browsers or private windows, further complicating a workflow that should be seamless.
WebCatalog
WebCatalog transforms your favorite websites into sleek, standalone desktop applications for Mac and Windows. It provides a centralized hub to organize your digital life without the distractions and constraints of a traditional web browser.
By isolating each web service into its own dedicated window, you regain control over your operating system’s multitasking capabilities. You can utilize system-level shortcuts, manage notifications more effectively, and prevent a single browser crash from taking down your entire workflow. This platform bridges the gap between web flexibility and native performance, allowing you to stay signed into multiple accounts simultaneously without the hassle of incognito windows or profile switching. It creates a distraction-free environment where your tools feel like integrated parts of your computer rather than just another open tab.
Powerful Tools For Total Control
The platform offers a comprehensive suite of utilities designed to make your web-based tools feel like native software while adding layers of privacy and organization. These features are built to accommodate both casual users and professionals who need to manage thousands of apps and multiple accounts across their devices.
- Ads & tracker blocker: Block intrusive advertisements and stop trackers from accessing your personal data while speeding up website loading times.
- App lock: Secure your workspace using passwords or Touch ID to lock specific applications when you are away from your desk.
- Cloud backup & sync: Keep your digital environment consistent by automatically syncing your profiles, bookmarks, and settings across all your computers.
- Custom apps: Beyond the existing library, you can transform any website into a standalone app by simply entering its URL and customizing the appearance.
- Menu bar (tray) apps: Attach frequently used web apps to your system menu bar or tray for instant access via keyboard shortcuts, keeping them out of your taskbar.
- Privacy protection: Run websites in isolated environments to prevent cross-website tracking and ensure your browsing data remains private and secure.
- Profiles: Manage and switch between multiple accounts for the same service easily without the need to log out or open separate browsers.
- Spaces: Organize your apps and accounts into distinct windows based on your specific workflows, projects, or client needs.
- System integration: Enhance your experience by setting apps as default email clients, controlling system notifications, and arranging windows natively within your OS.
These capabilities ensure that every web application you use behaves exactly how you want it to, providing a level of customization and security that standard browsers cannot match.
Seamless System Integration
Getting started with a more organized desktop is a quick process. You simply download the WebCatalog Desktop installer for macOS or Windows and launch the application. Once opened, you can browse a curated catalog of thousands of apps or create your own by entering a URL. Each app you install becomes a standalone icon in your Dock or Taskbar, ready to be launched just like any other professional software on your machine.
