In plain words

WebCatalog is a tool that converts websites into desktop applications. Launched in October 2020, it enables users to run their favorite web services as standalone desktop programs rather than through a browser. This approach allows for easier access, separate windows, and potentially better organization of web-based tools on a computer. The service is designed for anyone who frequently uses web applications and wants a more integrated desktop experience.

From the sources

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.app
