Pake

Pake: Turn any website into a lightweight desktop app with one command.

What problem it solves

Websites commonly remain tied to a browser instead of being available as focused desktop applications. Pake addresses this by packaging a website with customizable icons, window settings, and other application behavior.

Key features

  • Lightweight desktop packaging — Pake packages websites as desktop applications without bundling a separate browser engine, using the system WebView instead.

  • Command-line packaging — The CLI packages a website with one command and can fetch its icon automatically. Advanced options cover custom icons, dimensions, and title-bar visibility.

  • Cross-platform support — The project supports desktop application builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

  • Customizable application behavior — Packaged apps can include shortcuts, immersive windows, drag and drop, style customization, and ad removal.

    Source: README

  • Scripting and agent support — The CLI supports machine-readable output, declarative configuration, local build output, and a documented agent contract.

Who it may suit

This may suit developers who want to package websites as desktop applications, and users who prefer the graphical Pake desktop app without using a command line.

Topics to discuss

  • Which website integrations or desktop behaviors would be most useful to add next?

  • How should the CLI and graphical app share packaging options and configuration?

  • Which platform-specific issues should receive more troubleshooting guidance?
