Alternatively, you can just open any web page you want, click the three-dot menu icon in Chrome's upper-right corner, and then select the "Save shortcut" option in the menu that appears. Either way, all you've gotta do next is right-click on the icon to pin it to your shelf a. That, however, doesn't give you the ability to customize the app's name, icon, or appearance. And that's where option 2 comes into play.
Okay — first, open up the website applicationize. In the first field on the left side of the screen, enter in the full URL of the web app you want to convert into desktop app form. So if, for instance, you want to create an app-like shortcut for Google Docs, you'd enter "docs.
But the beauty of this system is that you can get far more specific than that. Lemme give you a couple of examples from my own personal setup to illustrate: First, I have a specific Docs file that I treat as a scratchpad throughout my work day. I leave it open whenever I'm working and use it to jot down lots of quick notes or ideas that'll be relevant to me that day or on another day soon. With this Chromebook shortcut-creating system, I was able to make that specific Docs file effectively exist as its own app — my personal work day scratchpad — with its own custom name and icon in my app drawer and on my shelf, its own distinctive color scheme, and a presentation that makes it look and feel like an actual standalone app instead of just a web tab.
All I did to make that happen was get the URL for that specific document — by opening it within Docs on the web and then copying the full URL from there. And then I pasted that same address into the Applicationize site. For another example, I have two different Slack teams that I interact with during my work day.
Much to my annoyance, neither the Slack web app nor the Slack Android app recognizes the Ctrl-1, Ctrl-2 hotkeys that let you jump between multiple teams without using your mouse as you can in the traditional Slack desktop app.
To get around that, I simply created a standalone app for each team — each, again, with its own custom name and icon that show up in my app drawer and on my shelf which means I can access either easily by using the appropriate Alt-number-key keyboard shortcut for its position as well as its own easily identifiable color scheme that matches the theme I have set for the team in Slack and a presentation that makes it look and feel like an actual standalone app instead of just a web tab.
And just like with my Docs example, all I did to make that happen was get the URL for each team's Slack page — in this case, by opening each team within Slack on the web and then copying the full URL from there. And then I pasted those same addresses, one at a time, into the Applicationize site. So let's finish up the process: Once you have the URL pasted into Applicationize for whatever web app you want, click the link for "Advanced options.
Whatever color you choose will appear along the app's top bar anytime it's open — like here, with my Docs scratchpad example:. Or like here, with one of my Slack team examples — where the top bar is set to match the theme used within Slack itself for that team:. You can look over the other options on the page, but those three are really the most significant — and the ones you're most likely to use.
Make sure the toggle next to "Developer mode" in the upper-right corner is active. Then, open up your Chromebook's Files app, go to your Downloads folder, and find the extension file you just created and downloaded.
It'll have the name of the associated website — "docs. Once you're finished, that's it: Your newly created app will be in your system app drawer and waiting for your use. If you'd like to have a keyboard shortcut for accessing it, just right-click the app's icon and pin it to your shelf. Anytime you want to open or switch to it, you can then just press Alt and the number key corresponding to the icon's position.
And if you're worried about security, by the way, Applicationize quite literally just makes an app from the website you enter. There's nothing more to it. You can even view the source code behind the process at GitHub , if you're technically inclined and curious.
It's just another way to make Chrome OS even more comfortable and compelling for a modern-computing, cloud-centric style of working. Sign up for my weekly newsletter to get more practical tips, personal recommendations, and plain-English perspective on the news that matters.
