Nativefier is a command-line tool that wraps any web page into a native-looking desktop application using Electron, producing executables for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It auto-detects app names and icons and supports injecting custom JS/CSS.
Use cases
- turn whatsapp web into a desktop app
- wrap a website as a native desktop application
- create an electron app from a url
- make a standalone app for gmail or messenger
- convert web page to macos .app or windows .exe
- build site-specific browser app from command line
When to choose
- you want a quick one-command wrapper for a website as a desktop app
- you need cross-platform executables from a single tool
- you want to inject custom JS/CSS into a wrapped site
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the project is officially unmaintained
- you need deep native OS integration beyond what Electron provides
- you want a lightweight wrapper without bundling Chromium
