App It

ChatGPT plugin

Open web projects as Mac apps

View in ChatGPT directory

Turn your local web projects into Mac apps you can launch from the Dock. Give each project its own window, name and icon, and open it without starting its development server by hand. App It helps your coding assistant build and install a personal Mac launcher, manage its local server and clean up when you quit. You can also give a hosted website its own app window. Local projects stay in their original location, with their existing dependencies. Requires macOS, a local coding assistant with file and shell access, Apple command line tools, Python 3 and your project's runtime. Distribution and notarization are not included.
