Deskifier for WeWeb

Turn your WeWeb app into a desktop app

You built a serious front end in WeWeb on top of Xano, Supabase or your own API. Deskifier ships it as a desktop app: signed installers for Mac, Windows and Linux that load your published app.

Why a desktop app for a WeWeb project?

WeWeb apps are often the tools people live in: client portals, back offices, SaaS dashboards. Those are exactly the apps that lose out as a tab, because the tab gets closed and the notifications never arrive.

You could self-host WeWeb’s exported build and wrap it in Electron yourself (plugins that run through WeWeb’s servers stop working once exported), but then you maintain a fork and a build pipeline. Deskifier wraps your published app instead, so you keep building in WeWeb and every publish reaches desktop users.

What your WeWeb app gains

Tray and launch at login
The app your users work in all day, open with the computer and one click away.
Native notifications
OS notifications from a WeWeb workflow through the Deskifier SDK, even with the window closed.
Deep links
myapp:// links from emails and your site that open the desktop app on the right page.
Desktop features from workflows
Files, shortcuts, printing and window control, called from custom JavaScript in a workflow.
Signed installers
Notarised for macOS and Azure-signed for Windows, ready to hand to clients.
Publish once
Publish in WeWeb and desktop users get the change on their next load; the shell updates itself.

Frequently asked questions

No. Deskifier loads your published app, so any WeWeb plan that publishes a live app works.

Yes. The desktop app is Chromium with persistent storage, so tokens and sessions behave as they do in Chrome and survive restarts.

Use a custom JavaScript action in a workflow to call window.deskifier. Check it exists first so the web version of your app is unaffected.

Yes. Each Deskifier app has its own name, icon and URL, so you can build a separate app per client.
