Show HN: Bird – Turn any website into an isolated desktop app

https://github.com/nsz32/bird
2•nsz32•1h ago
I built Bird to get my web apps out of my browser. I have multiple Google accounts, Slack workspaces, and various SaaS tools — managing them in browser tabs was a mess. The "you're signed into another account" error, and I got tired of it.

Bird wraps any website into a standalone desktop app with full session isolation. Each app has its own partition (cookies, localStorage, cache) — they never interfere with each other or with your main browser.

Beyond isolation:

- URL routing rules (control what opens internally, externally, or gets blocked) - Smart downloads (auto-open by MIME type, executable and dangerous file detection) - Kiosk mode with custom escape shortcuts - User-agent spoofing (test mobile layouts, bypass Electron detection) - Cache management per partition (max age, max size) - Ad blocking via Ghostery

For SaaS vendors (WIP): package Bird with a locked config to ship your web app as a branded desktop installer — out of the browser, native feel, ready to deploy.

Coming next: per-app themes, preload script injection for deeper SaaS integration.

Linux + Windows supported, macOS coming. Arch users: yay -S bird-apps-bin
