## About

Pake turns a website into a desktop app on your Mac. Pick a site from the gallery or paste a web address, and Pake creates a real app with its own icon, window and Dock entry. There is no Node.js, Rust or compiler to install.

Each app keeps its own login and its own settings: window size, title bar, dark window, hide on close, a menu bar icon, open at login and incognito, plus always on top, user agent and custom code under Advanced. My Apps lists everything you made, so you can update them all at once, edit one, add another app for a second account, or export your settings to another computer.

Pake apps show pages with the WebKit already on your Mac, so most are under 10 MB, where an app with a bundled browser runs to hundreds of MB.

Two apps are free. A $15 one-time license covers up to 3 computers across Mac, Windows and Linux, with a 7-day refund. Prefer the terminal? The Pake CLI is free and open source at github.com/tw93/Pake.
