Features
What changes when a website gets its own desktop space
weballoon is not trying to pretend a website is native software. It simply gives the websites you already rely on cleaner boundaries: their own session, their own workspace, and clearer control over storage, sync, and permissions.
Features
Everything you need to turn web apps into a calmer desktop setup
weballoon turns websites into isolated desktop apps you can organize, sync, and control without giving up privacy.
Workspaces
Group your web apps into separate workspaces like Work, Personal, or Research. Workspaces keep context organized, while each app keeps its own isolated session.
App Catalog + Custom URLs
Install from the built-in catalog or add any website manually. If it has a URL, it can live in your workspace like a real app.
Isolated Sessions
Every app runs in its own sandboxed session. Log into multiple accounts at once without conflicts or cookie leaking.
Account Linking & Cloud Sync
Link a device with a magic link, then push or pull your app and workspace setup across devices. Browsing data and logins stay local.
Sensitive Access Controls
Camera, microphone, screen sharing, and geolocation stay blocked by default. Enable them per app only when you trust the site.
Desktop App Updates
Keep the desktop app current with background update checks, in-app version status, and a controlled restart when a release is ready.
A grounded look
The desktop app is about structure, not spectacle
The point is to make everyday web tools easier to separate and easier to trust. Instead of inventing a whole new workflow, weballoon wraps the familiar one in better boundaries.
Open any site as its own app slot
Start from the public catalog or from any URL, then keep that site out of your general browser mess.
Group apps by workspace
Keep work, personal, clients, or temporary tools apart so each context feels lighter to reopen.
Run separate logins side by side
The useful part is not the icon in the dock. It is being able to keep account states separate without constant tab gymnastics.
Adjust permissions app by app
Camera, microphone, screen sharing, geolocation, storage cleanup, and privacy defaults stay visible instead of being buried.
Plainly put
What weballoon changes, and what it does not
The product gets stronger when it is described honestly. It is a calmer wrapper around websites you already use, with isolation and controls that a normal browser setup makes harder to keep tidy.
What gets separated
This is where the practical value usually shows up first.
- Cookies and active logins can stay apart between app slots
- Local storage, cache, and site data can be managed per app
- Workspaces keep unrelated tools from collapsing into one browser session
What stays explicit
Nothing important should feel hidden behind mystery browser state.
- Sensitive permissions are reviewed app by app
- Local-first data and cleanup controls stay visible
- Sync and diagnostics are choices, not assumptions
What it is not trying to be
This matters just as much as the feature list.
- Not a fake native rewrite of the original website
- Not an anonymous browsing tool or a magic privacy blanket
- Not a cloud dashboard that takes over your browsing life
Diagnostics, honestly
If you enable diagnostics, the goal is stability, not surveillance
Sanitized diagnostics should help improve crashes and broken app states while avoiding the parts of your browsing that are private or personal. That is a better promise than showing theatrical error screenshots.
May include
Useful signals for fixing product issues.
- App version, operating system, and timestamp
- Crash type, surface, or high-level error message
- Whether the problem happened during launch, permissions, sync, or rendering
Should not include
The content of your browsing is the wrong thing to collect.
- Private messages, page text, or form entries
- Cookies, tokens, or full session contents
- Raw screenshots of what you were doing inside the app
A better desktop flow can be simpler, not louder
weballoon works best when it quietly helps you keep tools separate, switch context faster, and maintain clearer control over what each website is allowed to keep or access.
