Nativefier is also open source, and you can make as many apps as you would like without paying extra. Since there is no central hub tying the Nativefier-powered apps together, you get full freedom to place these apps and can copy or move them to a portable storage device. The lack of bells and whistles makes Nativefier a good choice for computers with low RAM. However, Nativefier doesn’t offer any graphical user interface or catalog, forcing you to use the command line for converting sites to apps.
Like WebCatalog, Nativefier relies on Electron to place websites in isolated containers for better security.
Free version limited to 10 apps and two sessions per app. Consumes more disk space than Edge or Chrome apps. Built-in ad and tracker blocker in the full version. Built-in catalog lets you discover new websites and services. WebCatalog will also add a shortcut in the “Apps” section of the Start menu. Click “Install” under the website’s icon and let WebCatalog create the app. Once you’ve installed the program, open WebCatalog and use the search bar to look for a website you wish to install as an app. WebCatalog also gives you the option of creating multiple sessions of a website without requiring you to switch browser profiles. This makes WebCatalog more secure, as any potential compromises on your default browser won’t affect any of the WebCatalog apps since each of the apps has its own cookies, cache and unique sessions. Photon runs on the Chromium-based framework, Electron, which isolates the WebCatalog apps from each other and other browsers while maintaining good compatibility with most websites. Unlike Microsoft Edge, every app is self-contained in its own browser engine called Photon. WebCatalog is a third-party app containing a library of popular websites that you can install as desktop apps. Cleaner dedicated apps page with larger icons. 
Apps sync across desktop Chrome installations through your Google account. Supports Chrome extensions and auto-fill for forms. Tip: this is also the easiest way to create a Gmail desktop app.
