PREVIEW
Example
com.example
02 / HOW
Three steps.
-
01
Paste a URL.
HTTPS and a full domain. The name and icon are yours.
-
02
Choose the target.
Android needs a local key. Desktop builds are unsigned.
-
03
Install.
Allow unknown apps for the APK, or run the desktop package.
03 / WORKS
A real app.
- Launcher icon, app-drawer entry and its own window.
- Uploads, downloads, camera, mic, location and fullscreen.
- Your key, your signature.
04 / DOESN'T
Not a browser.
- Google sign-in fails in embedded WebViews.
- No push, extensions or App Links.
- No offline copy. It loads the live URL.
- Some sites block WebView.
05 / PRIVACY
Your build stays here.
No account, no telemetry. The only third-party request is the optional favicon lookup.
- The app is assembled in this tab.
- The Android key is non-exportable; the encrypted backup is the only copy you can move.
- No analytics or third-party scripts.
06 / QUESTIONS
Before you install.
Can I update it?
Regenerate it. Android can reuse the key; desktop builds do not auto-update.
How do I install it?
Android: allow unknown apps. Windows: run Setup. Linux: chmod the AppImage or extract the tar.
Do I need Chrome?
No. Android uses System WebView; desktop uses WebView2 or WebKitGTK.
Does it work offline?
No. It loads the live URL.
