Peel

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.
