Deskifier for Linux

Turn any website into a Linux app

Linux users are chronically under-served by desktop software, which makes shipping there disproportionately appreciated. Deskifier builds .deb packages for x64 and arm64 plus Snap Store builds, with the same auto-updates as every other platform.

Why Linux is worth the checkbox

Most teams skip Linux because the packaging landscape looks like a research project: deb versus rpm versus AppImage versus Flatpak versus Snap, times two CPU architectures now that arm64 machines are everywhere. So the platform's most technical, most vocal users get told to run the web version.

Deskifier collapses that to a checkbox: .deb packages (the format for Ubuntu, Debian and their many descendants, and for ChromeOS's Linux container) in both x64 and arm64, plus Snap builds for the Snap Store's storefront reach. Same dashboard, same build pipeline, same silent updates.

What you ship on Linux

.deb for both architectures
Native packages for x64 and arm64, covering Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Pop!_OS and ChromeOS Linux out of the box.
Snap Store distribution
A Snap build ready for the Snap Store: a real storefront presence on the desktop Linux distribution most newcomers run.
Auto-updates included
Deb installs update silently through the built-in updater; Snap installs update through the store, both from your release channel.
Tray and startup integration
System tray icons with custom menus, launch at login, and desktop-file integration so your app behaves like it belongs.
The full native surface
Notifications, global shortcuts, filesystem access, deep links and printing, same SDK and no-code behaviors as Mac and Windows.
Consistent rendering
Bundled Chromium, so your app looks identical on every distro instead of depending on system WebKit builds.

Website to Linux app in three steps

  1. 1
    Paste your URL
    Same one-step start as every platform. No Linux machine required on your side.
  2. 2
    Configure once
    Your icon, window and tray settings apply across platforms, with per-platform overrides when Linux should differ.
  3. 3
    Build .deb + Snap
    One build produces x64 and arm64 .deb packages and a Snap, published to your update channel.

Frequently asked questions

The .deb covers the Debian family: Ubuntu, Debian, Mint, Pop!_OS, elementary and ChromeOS’s Linux environment. The Snap runs anywhere snapd does, which includes most major distros. Between the two you reach the overwhelming majority of desktop Linux.

Yes, .deb packages build for x64 and arm64 side by side, so Raspberry Pi 4/5 and ARM laptops and cloud desktops are covered. The download endpoint serves the right architecture automatically.

Direct .deb installs update through the app’s built-in silent updater, the same mechanism as Mac and Windows. Snap installs update through the Snap Store’s own refresh cycle. Either way, you publish once.

Deskifier produces the .snap package; you upload it to your Snap Store listing under your publisher account. The packaging, confinement and manifest details are already handled.

Today we ship .deb and Snap, which together cover most real-world desktop Linux. If your audience concentrates somewhere else, tell us; formats are added by demand.
