Fluid
Fluid is a utility that converts websites into standalone desktop applications for macOS. It allows users to transform web services (like Gmail, Trello, or custom web apps) into Mac apps with custom icons, names, and Dock integration. Users can run multiple web apps simultaneously while keeping them separate from their browser, organize workflows more efficiently, and access web services with a native app-like experience. It's popular among users who frequently use web-based tools and want a cleaner, more organized desktop workspace.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionFluid (version 2.1.2) is Intel-only and does not have a native Apple Silicon version. The developer does not appear to be actively maintaining the app for Apple Silicon compatibility. However, there is a strong native alternative: WebCatalog is a modern, actively maintained replacement that offers the same core functionality — converting websites into standalone Mac apps — with native Apple Silicon support, additional features, and better performance on newer Macs. WebCatalog includes pre-configured templates for popular services and supports multiple browser engines, making it a direct and improved successor. You can migrate your Fluid apps to WebCatalog at no cost.
