Platypus is a free, open-source utility for macOS that lets developers wrap shell scripts, Python, Ruby, Perl and other command-line programs into standalone Mac applications without needing to write Objective-C or Swift code. It automatically generates a native Mac app bundle from a script, complete with a graphical interface, icon, and menu bar integration. Power users, system administrators and developers use it to quickly distribute custom tools and automation scripts to colleagues or the wider community. The app handles script execution, argument passing, output display and app packaging, making it invaluable for rapid prototyping and sharing command-line workflows as polished desktop tools.
