Unite 4: Turn Websites into Apps on Your Mac [Sponsor]

Are you tired of juggling multiple browser tabs while working on your Mac? Unite 4 for macOS revolutionizes your browsing experience by allowing you to transform any website into a tailor-made app for your Mac. Leveraging a lightweight, WebKit-powered browser as a backend, Unite 4 enables you to effortlessly create isolated, customizable apps from any site.

Unite 4 offers a multitude of features and customization options, making it a fantastic alternative to resource-intensive Electron apps or lackluster Mac Catalyst implementations. The apps you create are simple to set up, fast, isolated from your other browsing activity, and only limited by your imagination.

  • Creating dedicated apps for your favorite streaming services like Netflix and Disney+
  • Conserving your laptop’s battery by using Unite for Slack, Discord, and WhatsApp with full notification support
  • Utilizing AI tools such as ChatGPT and MidJourney alongside your other macOS apps
  • Streaming music through services like Apple Music or Spotify
  • Tuning into podcasts with Overcast
  • Organizing your notes in a dedicated Roam Research app
  • Never losing your Figma design work amidst a sea of Safari tabs
  • Restricting apps like Facebook from tracking you across sites
  • Browsing your Instagram feed
  • Monitoring your finances with Robinhood
