Deskifier for Glide

Turn your Glide app into a desktop app

Glide apps run the business: inventory, field reports, CRMs. Deskifier makes yours an installed desktop app that opens at login and sits in the tray, instead of a tab someone has to find.

Isn’t installing it as a web app enough?

Glide apps can be installed from the browser as a web app, and for some teams that’s fine. It falls short when you roll it out to a team:

Everyone installs it themselves, from a browser menu most people don’t know is there.
It depends on the browser each person uses, and behaves differently in each.
IT can’t deploy it: there’s no installer to push to machines.
No tray, no launch at login, so it’s closed and forgotten.

Deskifier gives you a real installer that IT can deploy, which opens your Glide app in its own window and keeps it running.

What your Glide app gains

Launch at login

The app opens with the computer, so the tool your team relies on is already there.

Tray presence

Close the window and it stays running in the tray or menu bar, one click from coming back.

Installers IT can deploy

Signed Windows installers and notarised Mac DMGs that go through device management like any other software.

Its own window

Your app’s icon and name in the taskbar and dock, not one tab among forty.

Kiosk and fullscreen

Lock a shared screen to your Glide app for warehouse, front-desk or check-in stations.

Nothing to update by hand

Changes you make in Glide show up immediately, and the shell updates itself in the background.
