How does this compare with Unite? https://www.bzgapps.com/unite I bought a Family License for Unite but this looks better.

Hi @joshuapinter, I already responded to your email but am pasting here for any onlookers who are interested. We have a decent chart at the bottom of the webpage, but in essence Unite is WebKit based and Coherence is Chrome based. So Unite gets smaller apps and more native features like status bar apps and customizable windows, while Coherence supports virtually all web experiences, extensions, etc, because Chrome based.

Serious question. What is the core purpose of this app. Why would I want to create a bunch of single use apps using this, instead of just say, pinning all the pages in chrome? This isn't a negative comment, I am sincerely trying to understand the motivation of this.

@virelli Hi Tony, I hope some users will chime in as they are probably best to answer this question, but here is my answer. There is a large group of SSB (site specific browser) applications for macOS. Some of the biggest are Coherence, Unite, Fluid, WebCatalog, and EpiChrome. All of them have the same purpose, to ostensibly turn websites into apps on your Mac, but they have different takes on how to accomplish this. Moving past the functionality, the purposes are broad. I know some of our users simply want to have an isolated Gmail app that does not track other browser activities, while some do more complex things like create multi-tabbed apps for their workflows. The truth is there are many use cases, but each is somewhat niche in its own right, but I hope this give a brief understanding. PS: I am being brief as to not fill up the comments section, but would be happy to elaborate more on twitter or email.

Hey @bzg0515 Clicking the Buy License button takes me to an error page. All of those licenses are taken, so I wanted to see what the price was with the 30% discount. This is the URL: https://devmate.io/gostore/com.B... Screenshot of error page:

Hey Hunters! Today, we're really excited to share Coherence Pro 2, the next major update to our Coherence product. The new update is the largest in the apps history, and includes a beautiful and powerful redesign, a significantly improved backend, support for browser designation, improved extension/profile support, bulk mode, new app modes, and more! Our favorite new feature is the multi-tabbed function, which allows you to create customized workspaces that always open the same designated sites in an isolated environment. We hope you give it a shot and enjoy it as much as we have internally and with our initial testers. Here's five free licenses for the first lucky hunters! If you miss out - there's always a free trial available on the site and for the next 24 hours, hunters can save 30% using the code 'ProductHunt' at checkout. id988365760399uks id325590694928uks id929166059708uks id418070872919uks id780869385367uks

@bzg0515 FYI, these are all taken. Hopefully that saves some other people some time.

Hey!

Does this allow for fullscreen kiosk apps made with HTML5 where it can then also run local video files, etc?
Binyamin Goldman
@dan_h It should, but I would try with the trial just to be safe.
