Fork

This project is a maintained fork of webcatalog/chromeless, which is no longer actively developed upstream.

Introduction

Chromeless is a free macOS app which lets you create Chromium-based or Firefox-based apps (also known as site-specific browsers) from any websites.

How It Works

Chromeless is a free and open-source app for macOS that lets you create a site-specific browser (also known as Chromium-based app, chromeless app, etc) out of any website or web application, effectively turning your favorite web apps into self-contained, distraction-free desktop apps, all powered by your daily web browsers.

Supported Browser Engines:

  • Google Chrome
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Brave
  • Opera
  • Vivaldi
  • Chromium
  • Cốc Cốc
  • Yandex Browser
  • Mozilla Firefox

Browser Instances

Chromeless also lets you create traditional browser instances (also known as tabbed-style apps) that behave just like normal browsers but with their own cookies and storage.
