Electron-based wrappers allow you to run any web application on the most important operating systems (ie Windows, macOS and Linux) without using the services of a web browser.

If you rely heavily on some web applications that you use every day and they don’t have an official desktop client, you might find the following tools very interesting.

native is a lightweight and efficient command line software designed from the ground up to help you create wrappers for any web application with just one simple command.

Requires Node.js and basic command line knowledge to deploy

In order to start using the utility, you need to build it from its source files or, more simply, install it directly from any instance of the command prompt.

If you use the latter option, you first need to make sure Node.js is installed on your computer, then start a CMD instance with administrator privileges.

After selecting the path to your computer’s desktop using cd (change directory shell command), simply type the following command: “npm install nativefier -g”.

The installation process does not require any user intervention and it should be over within a few minutes.

Easily wrap your favorite web applications with the help of Nativefier

From this point on, you can easily wrap any web application by entering the following command in any CMD instance with administrator privileges: “nativefier” followed by the exact address of the website, with spaces in between.

For example, you can wrap our official news section by typing “Nativefier news.softpedia.com” or the official Facebook Messenger web app by typing “Nativefier messenger.com” etc.

Nativefier automatically determines the name of the application, your operating system and processor type, and other details, and creates a folder on your computer desktop with all necessary dependencies.

It should be noted that you can use a slightly modified version of the previously mentioned command, Nativefier –name (Insert custom name here) followed by the address to override the official name of the web application.

A very useful and novice-accessible command line tool for creating native wrappers for web applications

All in all, Nativefier is a very efficient command line tool that allows you to create local website wrappers directly from the command prompt in seconds.

Although there is no typical user-friendly interface, all categories of users can successfully install, deploy, and use the application.
