Checking the website

From address to app

Paste a URL, confirm the name and icon, build, then install and open. Most builds take seconds.

  1. Paste an address

    Click New App (⌘N) and paste an address, for example github.com. You can also drop an HTML file or a folder onto the window, or pick a site from the suggestions.

    New App: an address field with a list of popular websites

  2. Check the name and icon

    MyPack fetches the name and the best icon. Change either, then choose how the app looks: window, compact, sidebar or menu bar, its title bar and its size.

  3. Build & Open

    MyPack doesn't compile anything. It writes your app's settings into a small prebuilt runtime, and shows each step as it goes.

  4. Use it like any other app

    The app is installed and opened in one click, with its own name, icon, window and sign-in. It keeps working even if you uninstall MyPack.

A browser tab is a poor home for an app

Tabs get lost among other tabs, every site shares one set of cookies, and none of them get their own Dock icon, notifications or window. MyPack gives each site a proper app of its own, and then keeps looking after it.

No toolchain on your machine

MyPack uses a small prebuilt runtime and writes your app's settings into it, so a build takes seconds. The runtime downloads once, signed and verified.

Apps that stand on their own

Every app has its own name, icon and separate sign-in, uses the system WebView, and keeps working if you uninstall MyPack.

Looked after, not just made

Update an app in one click without losing your logins. If an update fails, the previous version comes back. Repair it, or move it to another computer.

A look around

How MyPack compares

Plenty of good tools turn websites into apps. Here's where MyPack differs, as plainly as we can put it.

MyPack owes a lot to Pake, which showed how good a website can feel as a small, focused desktop app. MyPack reads Pake configs, so you can bring yours along.

Install MyPack

Download the installer, or use the package manager you already have. Each one puts a mypack command on your PATH and keeps MyPack updated.

  • macOSThe main platform. Apple silicon and Intel. Apps use WKWebView.
  • Linuxx64 and arm64. Apps use WebKitGTK, tested on Ubuntu 24.04.
  • Windowsx64 and arm64. Apps use WebView2, less tested so far.
Download for macOS

A .dmg for Apple silicon and Intel, or Homebrew:

Homebrew
brew install --cask sinhong2011/tap/mypack

Releases aren't signed yet. On macOS, if Gatekeeper blocks the first launch, right-click MyPack.app and choose Open. On Windows, SmartScreen may ask you to confirm: More info, then Run anyway.

Plain archives of the app and the CLI are on every release too. See the latest release

For developers and AI agents

The app's binary is also the CLI. With --json, every command prints one JSON object, and exit codes are stable.

A built-in MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex and other agents list, create and build apps for you. They can't install apps, and a project's build script only runs after you approve it.

MyPack itself has no built-in chat or LLM.

zsh
# a draft project, then build, install and open it
$ mypack create github.com --json
$ mypack build <project-id> --yes --json
$ mypack install <artifact-id> --open
$ mypack apps list

# connect an agent
$ claude mcp add mypack -- mypack mcp serve

Give your web apps a home.

Free for good, on macOS, Windows and Linux.
