websiteWrapper

Wrap any website as a native desktop app for macOS or Windows.

Takes a URL, a title and an icon and produces a standalone desktop application around that site using NW.js — useful for turning a web app you use daily into something that lives in the Dock or Start menu.

Install

npm install -g websitewrapper

Usage

websitewrapper -u https://example.com -t "Example" -i ~/icons/example.icns

The result is written to a build folder in the current directory.

Options

Flag	Description	Default
-u, --url <url>	URL of the site to wrap	http://www.robertgabriel.ninja
-t, --title <title>	Window and app title	websiteWrapper
-i, --icon <icon>	Full path to an .icns icon	bundled placeholder
-V, --version	Print the version

To convert a PNG to .icns, use iconverticons.

Use as a module

const siteWrapper = require('websitewrapper');

siteWrapper.create(url, title, icon);
