Web app to desktop app in minutes

Yes. You can get started by downloading ToDesktop Builder at no cost. After installing it, you can build your desktop application and preview it by clicking the “Run” button. This allows you to test the app on your own computer to ensure it performs to your expectations. If you’re using a Mac and wish to add the app to your “Applications” folder for easier access, simply follow these steps: Right-click on the app’s dock icon while it’s running. Select “Options” and then “Show in Finder.” Drag the application into your Applications directory, allowing you to use it just like any other installed app. Should you decide to distribute your application to a wider audience—complete with code signing and a native installer—you’ll need to purchase a subscription.

No. When a ToDesktop app opens it contacts the our servers to check if an update is available. We do not collect or store any user data from these requests.

It can help to think of ToDesktop as a custom web browser dedicated to your web app or website. It shows a live version of your site or web app at all times, just like a web browser. There is no toolbar or address bar or refresh buttons but it behaves and functions just like a web browser. This means you don’t need to do anything to your existing site, it will just work. If your site works in Google Chrome then it is compatible with ToDesktop. ToDesktop uses a technology called Electron. You don’t need Electron (or even coding) experience to create a desktop app with ToDesktop. Rest assured, the underlying “browser” engine is updated regularly through auto-updates. So the desktop version of your app will always have the latest web features available.

Every time your app launches it contacts the ToDesktop update server. If there is a newer version available then it gets downloaded automatically. The user gets a notification that the new version will be installed the next time that they open the app. Auto-updates are published on two occasions: An app detail (name, icon, default window dimensions) is changed. Electron or the ToDesktop standard library is updated.
