web2app

A local web GUI for Pake: turn any website into a desktop app.

Builds run one at a time from a queue, each build is kept in a history you can reopen, builds work offline after the first install, and you can pair a phone to send it links. It runs on your machine at 127.0.0.1 only.

Project page: gitguy268.github.io/web2app · web2app-neon.vercel.app

Install with Homebrew

brew trust gitguy268/tap
brew install gitguy268/tap/web2app

Then run web2app and open http://localhost:7417/. Builds are kept in ~/Library/Application Support/web2app (set WEB2APP_BUILDS to move them). Pake also needs Rust.

Run it locally, step by step

Install Node.js 22 or newer and Rust, which Pake needs to build apps.

Get the code:

git clone https://github.com/Gitguy268/web2app.git
cd web2app

Install the dependencies:
```
npm install
```
Start it:
```
npm start
```
On a Mac you can double-click start.command instead of these two steps.
Open http://localhost:7417/ in your browser. Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop.
