Run your favorite web apps natively

WebCatalog launched on July 21, 2017 with 156 votes, #188 of 2,972 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 9 years on.

What it does

Turn websites into desktop apps with WebCatalog. Organize them in customizable spaces, stay signed in to multiple accounts, launch everything from a personalized home screen, and discover curated apps for Mac and Windows.

Turn any website into a desktop app, keep multiple accounts signed in, organize them into spaces, and make it your own — with a built-in home, widgets, and more. Give your favorite websites their own window, icon, and place in your dock or taskbar. Stay out of the tab pile, with native notifications and badges. Use multiple accounts for the same app — like WhatsApp, Slack, or Instagram — without logging in and out. Each app keeps its own session, separate by default. Keep work, personal, clients, and projects separate. Switch context instantly without closing apps or losing your place. Focus, manage your to-dos, check the weather, convert currencies, and more — right on your home screen.…from webcatalog.io

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
