  • waveboxapp

    Wavebox, the revolutionary and feature-rich Chromium browser that's built for productive working across Google Workspaces, Microsoft Teams, ClickUp, Monday, Atlassian, Asana, AirTable, Slack, and every other web app you use to get work done.

  • Wavebox (GitHub, Website): It's a Chromium-based browser with a full browser navigation bar, but it also has a sidebar for launching specific webapps, and you are able to create desktop launchers for specific sites. Downsides: Commercial software with subscription. And it's kinda cluttered since it is a full browser.

  • Tangram

    Browser for your pinned tabs (by sonnyp)

  • Tangram (GitHub): It's a GTK-based "specialized web browser" with tabs for each of your webapps. Pros: Looks native on GNOME. Cons: WebKit is incompatible with a lot of sites. Ugly app icon. No specific "focused launchers" just for specific sites (you always see all your pinned sites).

  • ice

    Tool to create Chromium/Chrome/Firefox/Vivaldi SSBs in Peppermint OS. (by peppermintos)

  • Peppermint Ice (GitHub): Supports using Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, and Vivaldi as its browser.

  • webapp-manager

  • Webapp Manager (GitHub): Basically an alternative GUI for ICE, and has 100% back/forth compatibility with ICE. Same technology.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
