Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Marc, the creator of marcStar.
I spend most of my day inside web apps like ChatGPT, X, GitHub, Discord, Notion, and Linear. The problem is that they all live inside a browser full of tabs, distractions, and unnecessary UI.
So I built marcStar.
marcStar turns any website into a dedicated macOS app with a clean native interface, giving your favorite web tools their own focused space.
It's built with Swift and WebKit, open source, privacy-first, and designed to feel at home on macOS.
Whether you're using AI tools, social platforms, productivity apps, or internal dashboards, marcStar helps you stay focused without living inside a browser.
I'd love to hear your feedback and ideas. Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
