WebCatalog

Best for: Power users juggling many web apps & accounts

Last updated: September 04, 2026

WebCatalog turns any website into a standalone desktop app — so instead of a wall of browser tabs you get individual apps for each service, each with its own session, notifications and shortcuts, plus multiple accounts per app, workspaces to organise everything, tracker isolation and cloud sync across devices. For anyone drowning in tabs and logins it's a genuinely cleaner desktop, and at $5/mo for Pro the value is hard to argue with. The honest framing: it's an organisation layer, not new functionality — it doesn't add features to the web apps themselves — the free tier is thin (2 apps), some apps are quirky as standalone, and the payoff scales with how many accounts you actually juggle.

Pros

  • Turns any website into a standalone macOS, Windows or Linux app
  • Multiple accounts & profiles per app with isolated sessions
  • Organise apps & accounts into workspaces and spaces
  • Isolates apps to block trackers/ads; cloud sync across devices
  • Excellent value — Pro is just $5 a month

Cons

  • An organisation layer, not new functionality on the web apps
  • Free Basic tier limited to 2 apps, 2 profiles, 1 workspace
  • Some web apps can be quirky run as standalone
  • Value depends on how many accounts & tools you juggle
  • Partly replicable with browser profiles if your needs are light

Frequently asked questions

A free tier plus two paid plans. Basic ($0) runs 2 desktop apps, 2 profiles and 1 workspace — enough to try the concept. Pro (~$5/user/mo, annual) unlocks unlimited apps, profiles and workspaces plus ad blocker, app lock and cloud sync — the tier for anyone with real multi-account needs. Business (~$8/user/mo, annual) adds team management for small teams and agencies. At $5/mo, Pro's price-to-value ratio is widely considered excellent.

It turns any website into a standalone desktop app, so instead of a wall of tabs you get individual apps for each service, each with its own session, notifications and shortcuts. Around that it adds what power users need: multiple accounts/profiles per app, workspaces and spaces to organise everything, isolation between apps to block trackers and ads, cloud sync across devices, and personalisation. The promise is a cleaner, more organised desktop for people who live in web apps — not new capabilities inside the apps themselves.

Think of Basic as a trial of the concept, not a long-term home. It caps you at 2 apps, 2 profiles and 1 workspace — enough to feel how it works, but not for anyone juggling several tools and accounts. The moment you want more apps, multiple accounts, the ad blocker or cloud sync, you're on Pro. Since Pro is only ~$5/mo, most people who find the free tier useful upgrade quickly; the free plan mainly lets you confirm the workflow fits before paying.

You can approximate some of it with browser profiles and pinned tabs, and if your needs are light that may be enough. WebCatalog adds a purpose-built layer: each service behaves like a real app with its own icon, window and shortcuts, multiple accounts per service are handled cleanly, everything groups into workspaces, and apps are isolated for privacy. For someone managing many contexts — several clients, multiple inboxes, a stack of SaaS tools — that removes real daily friction. If you only use a handful of sites, the benefit is smaller.

It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, and because it can turn essentially any website into an app, it works with the vast majority of web services rather than a fixed integration list — email, chat, project management, design, social and more — with multiple accounts per app and shared team setups. The practical caveat: a small number of web apps behave imperfectly in a standalone wrapper rather than a full browser, so if a specific mission-critical tool is essential, test it during the free tier before committing.

People who live in web apps and juggle multiple accounts, tools and contexts all day — freelancers and agencies switching between client accounts, marketers and operators running many SaaS tools, and anyone drowning in tabs who wants a cleaner, app-like desktop. The multi-account handling and workspaces are the standout reasons to use it. Less compelling for people who only use a few websites, who are happy with browser profiles, or who need software that adds new functionality rather than a better way to organise the web apps they already use.
