Appbun is a CLI tool that wraps any webpage into a native macOS desktop app using Electrobun, automatically fetching icons and metadata. It offers a transparent, inspectable project structure and customizable window chrome presets, making it a practical alternative to opaque wrappers like Pake. Its built-in recipes and cross-platform build scripts enhance developer convenience.
