Is there a way to convert a website into a desktop app on Windows?
Website-as-App is a service that allows you to convert websites to desktop apps on your PC. With Website-as-App, you can turn any website into a standalone application, giving it its own window, icon, and taskbar entry, similar to a native app.
This tool offers a unique approach by using the Qt WebEngine to open any website in its own dedicated window, effectively turning it into a standalone desktop application. It's a great choice if you're looking for something different from the usual Electron-based tools.
Steps for converting websites to desktop apps on Windows PC:
Step 1. Install Python
Download and install Python from the official website (python.org). During installation, make sure to check the box that says "Add Python to PATH".
Step 2. Open Command Prompt
Press Windows Key + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
Step 3. Install the Tool
Copy and paste the following command and press Enter:
pip install website-as-app
Step 4. Run Your Web App
Once the installation is finished, use this command to launch any website as an app (replace the URL with your own):
website-as-app "https://example.com"
