Description
Browser-O-Mat is a white-label browser, meaning you can…
- define one URL to load
- set application name and icon
What's it for?
I usually keep one or two tabs open in my browser to access my most frequently used websites...this works, but has drawbacks:
- I can't easily access one tab by switching applications (⌘-⇥ , the dock or launchpad)
- I sometimes accidently close one tab or the whole browser
And?
With Browser-O-Mat you can create an application for every of these websites (tabs), so you can keep them open and easily switch to them. Examples:
- NetFlix
- Ingress Intel
- Webmail
- Forums
- Admin-Pages (like phpmyadmin of your favourite project)
- Wikipedia
- Hangouts
- Social Networks (like yammer, g+, Facebook…)
- …

Configuration & Usage
1. Rename the application

- Click save
