Unite has been, in my opinion, the stand-out app for transforming websites into native-feeling desktop applications on the Mac. While Apple attempted to offer similar functionality with their own solution, Unite has consistently stayed ahead of the curve, offering deeper integration and more powerful features.

Well, there’s now a new version: Unite 6 is here with a flock of new features.

Redesigned Creation Experience

The app creation process has been completely revamped with enhanced accessibility and a more intuitive interface. This makes it faster and easier to convert web services into Mac apps.

App Sharing

One of my favorite new features is the ability to share Unite apps across machines or with team members. Simply export your configured app and share the file. Recipients can start using it immediately.

Supercharged Sidebar Mode

The new Sidebar mode is a game-changer. You can now pin, rename, and customize tabs to create the perfect workspace for your needs.

Tab Management for Power Users

Unite 6 also introduces robust tab management features including pinning, locking, renaming, and duplicate detection. This is especially useful for those of us juggling multiple instances of the same service.

Command Center

The new Command Center brings powerful keyboard control to Unite apps. You can rebind shortcuts, quickly restore closed tabs, and navigate between them with ease – perfect for keyboard warriors.

Often, when Apple allegedly “Sherlocks” an app category, the exact opposite happens. Third-party developers show up to run circles around the basic feature set offered by Apple. Unite 6 demonstrates that once again.
