WebCatalog is an app store for web applications and a site-specific browser (SSB) for macOS, Windows and Linux.[3][4][5][6] Similar to other site-specific browsers, it is as a tool to make web applications work more like native desktop applications.[7][8][9]

WebCatalog comes with a large catalog of web applications to let users discover and install apps conveniently.[10][11] Additionally, it has a concept called "spaces", which let users organize and switch between multiple web application accounts in a single place.[12]

Technologies

WebCatalog is built on top of open-source technologies,[13] mainly Electron, Chromium, React.[12][14]
