It is common to use online apps on a day-to-day basis. You can manage them from the browser or turn them into applications for Windows or macOS.
Although we are still working with desktop software, it is very common to turn to web applications or online apps to deal with common tasks such as managing email, retouching images, organizing your workday, or communicating with friends and acquaintances. The list is endless and they all have one thing in common: you can use them directly from your web browser.
The usual thing is to save the links of these online apps in your browser. Sometimes you just search for them directly in the search bar. Or you lock a tab to open next to the browser. But if you use a lot of them, as usual, you may want to organize them better.
With WebCatalog you can convert web applications into desktop apps, with its own browser-independent executable that will open in its own window. This tool is free by default and works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
From the web to your desktop
What WebCatalog does is create a generic and independent application that replaces your browser. Each of those applications runs only the web applications that you have chosen. One for each app. Among its peculiarities: you will no longer depend on the browser, if one app crashes, the rest will continue to work and has the same advantages of the browser, such as warnings and notifications, advertising blocking, a night theme that darkens the interface, and the possibility of toggling between user accounts.
Technically, WebCatalog creates software containers. One for each of your web applications. Among other things, you can choose which browser engine you want to use, in order to use your online apps in their best version and avoid incompatibilities. As they are watertight containers, you will avoid tracking tools and online apps will be independent of each other.
In the catalog of this tool, you will find compatible web applications.

For telecommuting and free time
Another advantage of WebCatalog is that you can use it to telecommute or to do all kinds of tasks in your free time. As we have seen, compatible online apps cover all fronts. In addition, the process of creating new applications is very quick and easy.
