From a folder to your own Mac app

Start with something new or pick up where you left off. Your source files stay in your own folders.

Start with a project

Create a folder, add an existing website, or make an editable copy from the Example Gallery. Your projects stay together in the sidebar.

Edit and preview

Work on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in the source editor. Save to the original folder, run a preview, and check for missing local resources.

Make it your Mac tool

Choose a name, icon, and content mode. Export an app for personal use and local testing, then return to your project whenever you want to change it.

Already have your HTML? Convert a file or folder directly with Convert HTML to App, without adding a project. Read the project guide.

Let your HTML work with your Mac

Add native features through the built-in JavaScript bridge. Keep your interface in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Open content from Finder

Register a viewer or editor for files and folders. Editor-role apps can save changes within the specific item you opened, without broad write access to your disk.

Personal tools, with clear limits

HTML to App is a workspace for local HTML projects. It is not a service for publishing or distributing apps.

A good fit for your own Mac

  • Personal dashboards, file viewers, small editors, and offline utilities.
  • Self-contained websites with local HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images.
  • Experiments with Finder handling, notifications, and other native integrations.

Start with an editable example such as Geometry Pad, Text Editor, or a media player. Projects can be edited and exported offline. Your HTML may still request remote resources.

What an export actually contains

Export copies the bundled, precompiled launcher and configures its resources and settings. It does not compile new native code.

  • Ad hoc signed for personal use and local testing, not distribution-ready.
  • Not notarized or submitted to App Review.
  • Not a replacement for the Apple Developer Program or Apple's signing and review processes.

Compatibility and first launch The builder requires macOS 12 or newer, including its export process. The current exported launcher separately targets macOS 12 or newer. Test your HTML and chosen features on your Mac. Read the first-launch guidance.

Coming soon to the Mac App Store
