# Nativefier
[Nativefier](https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier) is an command-line tool to create desktop
apps from websites.
This way a single website can be used as an application in contrast to opening it in a

Additionally for some [Linux distributions](/wiki/linux.md#distributions) like
[Arch Linux' AUR](/wiki/linux/package_manager.md#arch-linux-pacman-and-yay) it is available via a
package often called `nodejs-nativefier`.
## Usage

directory.
The app will be named `Mastodon` will be `x64` compatible with a resolution
