MacGap is an Objective-C Xcode project that wraps HTML/CSS/JS applications in a native macOS WebView, exposing a JavaScript API for OS X integration like notifications and Dock icon control. It produces very lightweight Mac App Store-compatible apps.

Use cases

package an HTML/JS app as a native macOS app
build Mac App Store apps from web technologies
display native OS X notifications from JavaScript
create tiny desktop apps with web UIs
access macOS-specific features from a web app

When to choose

you want minimal app size and simple WebView wrapping for macOS
you need Mac App Store compatibility for a web-based app
your target is older macOS versions (10.6+)

When to avoid

you need cross-platform desktop apps (consider Electron or Tauri)
you need modern WebKit features or active maintenance
you target Windows or Linux
