Make a Mac app from a website
Many sites you use all day have no Mac app. You can give each one its own: a window with only that site in it, its own Dock icon, and a hotkey that brings it up. Pick a site for a short walkthrough, including what works and what doesn’t.
- Gmail app for MacMail in its own window that stays signed in, with one key to bring it up.
- Google Calendar app for MacYour week one key away, sitting in the right third of the screen.
- YouTube app for MacVideos in their own window, out of your browser tabs.
- YouTube Music app for MacMusic in its own app, so closing tabs never stops it.
- Google Docs app for MacYour documents in their own window instead of a browser tab.
- Google Messages app for MacTexts from your Android phone in their own Mac window.
- Google Sheets app for MacSpreadsheets in their own window, one key away.
- Google Keep app for MacA quick note is one key away.
- Instagram app for MacYour feed and messages in their own window. Posting isn’t supported.
- Google Photos app for MacBrowse, search and share your library. Uploading isn’t supported.

Another site? It works the same way for almost any website: how to turn a website into a Mac app.
