Browser-O-Mat

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…)
• …
