You can turn Flotato into any app, just by giving it a new name. It's like a phone on your Mac, and it will save your laptop battery life.

I'm amazed. It looks like a very simple product, but God knows what's happening behind to make it look so simple. Good job!

Pros:

Lower memory usage than a Chrome tab, looks good because it doesn't have elements that distract, magic rename-and-launch feature.

Cons:

marvellous! After fighting around with electron and even larger app sizes/memory usage there is finally a solution to end my suffering! Now I can easily switch between web apps using command tab and don't have to open new windows/look through open tabs :)

Great app, highly recommended. Paid for it.

Pros:

Fast, small footprint on disc and in memory

Cons:

Can't use extensions like in Chrome SSB, no custom icons on High Sierra

wanted to like it, but it's unreliable. If you close a flotato app with the red x and then want to re-open it later, it only works about half the time. The other half of the time you just click the icon in your dock and nothing happens. You have to manually quit and re-launch it, which means logging in again. I downloaded version 23 and the developer said it was fixed with version 24, but now I'm on version 27 and it's still no better. Save your $ until it's a finished product, because this is very much an unstable beta!
