Desktop app to be able to run stuff yourself quickly is such a cool improvement to an already great product. Fair play @davej!

Epic team and product. Even me as a non technical founder was able to create a desktop app for our web app pretty fast. That was a big flex. 🤩

Can I use this to build a site-specific wrapper for other web apps that I use? (i.e. I don't own those websites, but want to access them via my Mac dock).

@chrismessina Hey Chris, great question. We're not targeting this use case but you can do that for absolutely free if you want to. It's a bit of a hack so let me explain how: 1. Download ToDesktop Builder from our website. 2. Create an app using ToDesktop Builder. You probably want a "Simple Window" app. 3. Customise it if you would like to customise it. 4. Hit the run button 5. When the app is running then right-click on the dock icon. Choose "Options" → "Show in Finder" 6. You can now drag that application into your Applications directory and treat it like a normal app. Note: If you send this app to a friend or another computer then it won't work because the app hasn't been signed or notarized. If you want to distribute the app then you'll have to press the "Release" button on ToDesktop Builder and you would need to pay for this service.
