A Node.js command-line tool that converts Android APK files into Chrome apps (unpacked extensions) runnable on Chrome OS, OS X, Linux, and Windows via the ARChon runtime. It generates a directory that can be loaded through Chrome's developer-mode extensions page.

Use cases

  • run android apps on chromebook
  • convert apk to chrome app
  • run android apps on mac or linux via chrome
  • load apk as unpacked chrome extension
  • test android apps on desktop chrome

When to choose

  • you need to run a simple Android app on a Chromebook or desktop Chrome and can tolerate limited compatibility
  • you want to experiment with the legacy ARChon runtime approach

When to avoid

  • you need reliable, modern Android app support - Chrome OS now has native Android support and Chrome apps are deprecated
  • you need Google Play services or complex apps
  • you want an actively maintained tool
