HTML to App

Turn a local HTML project into a Mac app for your own use.

HTML to App converts a website folder or a self-contained HTML file into a standalone .app bundle for personal use and testing. Export directly when you just need the finished app, or use the workspace to edit, run and improve your project.

Quick conversion

Choose Convert HTML to App, select your source, customize the app, and export. There is no need to add a workspace project first. Embed your HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images and other assets inside the app, or keep using the original folder so future launches use its latest files.

A workspace for your projects

Keep local projects in one library and return to them whenever you want.

- Browse and edit HTML, CSS, JavaScript and other text files.
- Find text with Command-F and save changes to the original files.

- Check saved HTML and CSS references for missing local resources.
- Inspect JavaScript errors and console output in Checks & Output.
- Duplicate projects, reveal files in Finder, and remember export settings for each project.

Keep your work local

Project files are edited and packaged locally on your computer. Embedded exports contain the project files. Apps that use the original folder need that folder to remain available. Projects that load online resources or APIs may need an int…
