Turn any website into a native-like Android app
Peel is an open-source Android app that turns websites into standalone, app-like experiences. It lets you create lightweight web apps with custom icons, isolated storage, and fine-grained privacy controls, separate from browsers.
Uses System Android WebView for efficient rendering and minimal resource usage.
- Add websites as standalone apps with automatic icon and title fetching
- Launch web apps directly from your home screen with adaptive icons
- Optionally run web apps in isolated sandbox processes with separate cookies and storage
- Block third-party requests, manage cookies, enforce HTTPS, set custom headers, etc
- Lock sensitive web apps behind fingerprint or face authentication, set flag secure to disallow screencasting and screenshots
- Force dark theme on any website with optional scheduling
- Set settings globally or override them per app
- Export and import all web apps and settings with all properties and icons
- Written in Kotlin with Modern Material 3 interface
