Nativefier: Wrap Web Apps Natively without Browsers

Nativefier is an open-source desktop application that wraps web apps natively without browsers. It allows you to convert any web page into a cross-platform desktop app using Electron. The app has a 60-second install experience and feels like a native app.

What is Nativefier?

Nativefier is an open-source command line tool that allows you to easily create a desktop application for any web page with just a single command. It leverages Electron, Mozilla's open-source framework which also powers popular apps like Slack, Visual Studio Code and Discord.

Here's how it works: You provide a URL of any web app you want to convert into a native desktop app. Nativefier will then fetch the page, analyze its structure and resources and use that information to build a cross-platform application using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The result is a wrapped app that eliminates the browser and gives your web app a native desktop feel.

Nativefier has a lot of great features that make it a handy tool for developers, designers and end users:

• Simple command line interface allows you to generate apps in just one step
• Apps retain all functionality of web app and work offline
• Get native notifications, app icon in system tray, auto updates and more
• Works with Windows, macOS and Linux
• Open source and extensible if you want deeper customization
• Avoids browser bloat and UI inconsistencies across OSes

If you have a progressive web app that needs a native presence on desktop, or want to distribute an internal web tool to your team without browsers, Nativefier makes the process incredibly quick and painless. The auto-updating bundled apps help future-proof the tech stack over time.
