Turn any website into a real Mac app with Fluid

https://fluidapp.com/dist/Fluid_2.1.2.zip

Requires Mac OS 10.12 or later.

Web applications like Gmail, Facebook, Campfire and Pandora are becoming more and more like desktop applications every day. Running each of these web apps in a separate tab in your browser can be a real pain.
Fluid lets you create a Real Mac App (or "Fluid App") out of any website or web application, effectively turning your favorite web apps into OS X desktop apps.
Creating a Fluid App out of your favorite website is simple. Enter the website's URL, provide a name, and optionally choose an icon. Click "Create", and within seconds your chosen website has a permanent home on your Mac as a real Mac application that appears in your Dock.
Fluid is free. You can download Fluid for free and create as many Fluid Apps as you like.
However, for $5, you can purchase a Fluid License which unlocks a few extra features:
  1. Pin Fluid Apps to the Mac OS X Status Bar. (Fluid App Menu → Pin to Status Bar…)
  2. Use Userscripts or Userstyles in your Fluid Apps. (Window → Userscripts)
  3. Use Full Screen mode in your Fluid Apps. (View → Enter Full Screen)
