About WebCatalog
WebCatalog turns websites into standalone desktop apps and gives you a single place to manage multiple accounts across them. It works on macOS and Windows, lets you organize apps into spaces by workflow, and includes its own app catalog so you can launch popular web tools as if they were native programs.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Turns cluttered browser tabs into focused, distraction-free desktop apps
- Excellent multi-account support — stay signed into many accounts simultaneously
- Spaces let you separate work, personal, and client contexts cleanly
- Large pre-configured catalog of thousands of popular web apps
- Free tier is genuinely usable for trying it out
Cons
- Free plan caps you at 2 apps and 2 spaces, which is tight for real use
- Each app is essentially a Chromium wrapper, so memory usage adds up with many apps open
- No native Linux build
- Some advanced features (cloud sync, app lock) require the paid plan
Key Features
Web apps as desktop apps
Wrap any website (Gmail, Notion, ChatGPT, etc.) into a dedicated, distraction-free desktop app on Mac or Windows.
Multi-account switching
Run multiple profiles per app so you can stay signed into several work, personal, or client accounts at once without logging in and out.
Spaces
Group apps into separate spaces by project, role, or workflow so each context has its own dedicated set of tools.
App catalog
Browse a curated catalog of thousands of web apps that are pre-configured to install as desktop apps with one click.
Cross-platform support
Native builds for macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Windows, with shared settings across devices.
Ad and tracker blocker
Built-in blocker strips ads and third-party trackers from your web apps for a cleaner, faster experience.
Cloud backup and sync
Sync your installed apps, spaces, and preferences across machines via WebCatalog's cloud.

Make AI and productivity web apps feel native

Lock down sensitive web apps on shared machines
