> This repo is the free open-source Pake CLI, and everything below stays free. Prefer a graphical app? The Pake desktop app is a separate download from [pake.run](https://pake.run/), its only official site. It makes apps from a ready-made gallery or any URL without Node.js or Rust, with settings, updates and separate apps for other accounts in one window. `pnpm install -g pake-cli` installs the CLI only.
## Features
- **Lightweight**: Installers are typically under 10 MB, nearly 20 times smaller than Electron packages, a lighter alternative to Nativefier and other Electron wrappers
- **Fast**: Built with Rust Tauri on the system WebView instead of a bundled Chromium, so each app carries no browser engine of its own
- **Easy to use**: One-command packaging via CLI or online building, no complex configuration needed
- **Feature-rich**: Supports shortcuts, immersive windows, drag & drop, style customization, ad removal
## Getting Started
- **Beginners**: Make apps without a command line in the [Pake desktop app](https://pake.run/), download ready-made [Popular Packages](#popular-packages) or use [Online Building](docs/github-actions-usage.md) with no environment setup required
- **Developers**: Install [CLI Tool](docs/cli-usage.md) for one-command packaging of any website with customizable icons, window settings, and more
- **Advanced Users**: Clone the project locally for [Custom Development](#development), or check [Advanced Usage](docs/advanced-usage.md) for style customization and feature enhancement
- **Troubleshooting**: Check [FAQ](docs/faq.md) for common issues and solutions

Double-click the title bar to toggle fullscreen. On Windows and Linux, `--hide-window-decorations` gives a frameless window with a top drag region. On Mac, swipe to go back or forward and drag the title bar to move the window, and the menu bar has navigation, zoom and window controls.

## Command-Line Packaging
```bash
# Install Pake CLI
pnpm install -g pake-cli
# Basic usage, fetches the website icon automatically
pake https://github.com --name GitHub
# Advanced usage, custom options
pake https://weekly.tw93.fun --name Weekly --icon https://cdn.tw93.fun/pake/weekly.icns --width 1200 --height 800 --hide-title-bar
```
The first build sets up the environment and takes a while, later builds are fast. See the [CLI Usage Guide](docs/cli-usage.md) for every option, or try [GitHub Actions Online Building](docs/github-actions-usage.md) if you'd rather skip the command line.
Using Pake from a script or AI agent? Pass `--json` for machine-readable results, describe apps declaratively with `--config app.json` ([schema](schema/pake.schema.json)), and package local build output directly with `pake ./dist --name MyTool`. See [llms.txt](llms.txt) for the full agent contract. The official skill installs like this:
```text
# Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add tw93/Pake
/plugin install pake@pake
# Codex
codex plugin marketplace add tw93/Pake
codex plugin add pake@pake
```
Copy this to your AI agent to get started:
```text
Use Pake (npm i -g pake-cli) to package webpages as desktop apps. Read https://unpkg.com/pake-cli@latest/llms.txt first; always run pake with --json and parse stdout as a single JSON object. Package <url-or-local-dist> into an app named <AppName>.
```
## Development
Requires Rust `>=1.85` and Node `>=22` (recommended LTS; `>=20.9` also works), see the [Tauri documentation](https://v2.tauri.app/start/prerequisites/) for setup. If you are new to this toolchain, the CLI is the easier path.
```bash
# Install dependencies
pnpm i
# Local development, right-click to open the debug tools
pnpm run dev
# Build application
pnpm run build
```

## Support
- Getting the [Pake desktop app](https://pake.run/) is the most direct way to support Pake's development
- If Pake helped you, give it a star, [share it](https://x.com/intent/tweet?url=https://github.com/tw93/Pake&text=Pake%20-%20Turn%20any%20webpage%20into%20a%20desktop%20app%20with%20one%20command.%20Nearly%2020x%20smaller%20than%20Electron%20packages,%20supports%20macOS%20Windows%20Linux), or open an issue or PR, including sites that would make good desktop apps
- I have two cats, TangYuan and Coke, and if Pake makes your life a little easier, feel free to treat them to <a href="https://cats.tw93.fun?name=Pake" target="_blank">canned food</a>
These lovely people already did
