Excited to try this @bzg0515 . That said, I'm concerned about privacy. How can I be sure that you're not snooping my data when I create an app (e.g. gmail)?
I've been using Unite every day so I have a standalone app window for Google Drive/Docs/Sheets. A different app for each of my Google Accounts
Really like the last version of Unit. I am using BZG for multiple years now and I think that Unit version 4 is one of the best. The integration with BigSur is perfect. Highly recommended.
Hello Hunters!
Today we're launching Unite 4, the biggest update to Unite since the first release three years ago. This update includes the first ever redesign for the in-app experience, an all new creation tool with icon customization features, web notification support, keychain access, pro tools, dock slices, and much more!
The update is a result of six months of development and is built from the ground up for Big Sur. We hope you'll give it a look and let us know your thoughts!
Here are a few free codes for those who get here early! I may drop some more later in the day.

The best way to support the project though is to buy a license, and for the next week, you can get 20% off any Unite order when you use the code 'ProductHunt' at checkout!
Thank you again for reading and taking a look!

New user of Unite, and I'm loving it! I have a few websites that I use daily for work, and this allows me to quickly create an app for them so I can launch them when I launch all my other apps. Sounds minor, but it's a big time saver for me!
@tiptronic No, but there's no reason it couldn't. Added to list of things to add.
You AGAIN! LOL If someone wants to buy this app, please BE AWARE, this developer will charge you money for newer version almost every year. Another EVIDENCE: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
@sunnyheart not sure I understand why this is a bad thing. Each update that is released is significant in updates and they offer a 50% discount in upgrading. You don't have to upgrade to the newest version if you want to. So the "will charge you" is only if YOU want to upgrade. Honestly I easily upgrade each version they come up with as it's worth it to me. May not be the same for everyone.
@sunnyheart is right. I will 100% be releasing one major paid update as opposed to subscription pricing every year. This is the business model - the outgoing version will continue to be supported for at least another year (big bug fix update yesterday!). Not sure why he has such trouble understanding why no one else is as upset as he is.
@sunnyheart As a happy customer of not Unite but Coherence (his other SSB tool based on Chromium) I'm glad he adds value to the app each year and charges me for it so I know it'll be supported, updated, and continually improve. How many fantastic apps here on ProductHunt die an untimely death simply because the maker had to move on, get a job, or do something else because they can't justify the time/expense of maintaining their projects?
Don't get me wrong, I love free tools, experimenting in the marketplace, and I'm a huge proponent of FOSS; but for niche apps that adds value to me - I'll gladly pay for each release if I know it supports the developers to continue to improve their product.
@sunnyheart FAKE ONE-TIME PURCHASE and also see this developer was moody by the above link.
nice idea, there are many websites/services that can be turned into apps in that way. do you solve also process of submission into the app store?
@vladojsem Apple's App Store rules don't allow apps that are just versions of the website, but from a technical perspective they should be App Store compliant. We do offer enterprise services where corporations can create distributable apps.
Im not sure I fully understand the difference between Unite and just making the website open as a web app via Chrome or Edge... It seems like it takes this under utilized functionality of Chromium and adds a couple extra features to make it better. How to (Edge: Menu - Apps - Install this site as an App) (Chrome: Menu - More tools - Create shortcut - Open as window) (Chrome with PWA: Menu - Install "Site name" )
Love it! Can you please include a dark background when the app/website is loading? That would make the experience a whole lot better! Also, I seem to have issues with changing the icon once the app is created. I tried icns, png files, but I got the same error. Thanks!
@leo_at_zapier 1) good idea about dark background 2) aware in app icon switch is bugged, will try to get fixed soon
Looks like last 3.2 update is not downloading on the app or when i go to download link, looks like its broken.
@bzg0515 the link on the website is working, the internal update on the app it self is not, but i downloaded it.
I started using Unite after their Black Friday sale a couple weeks ago. I turned Zoho Projects, CRM, Books, and WorkDrive into desktop-based app and I'm OBSESSED with it. Works fantastic and solves the problems of other app-makers I've tried (namely 1. couldn't handle external links and 2. did horribly with opening new tabs)
Its a great app which can make your life so easy. It is great to turn all your important websites into useful apps which work great on your device. Simply, Loved the product !
