# 📱 Web-to-App — Turn Any Website Into an Android App (No Coding, No Android Studio) _Paste a URL. Get an APK. Install it on your phone. That’s it._ ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/4/b/4b94a7d49e2c8c58810674a3dfe783abcefb224a.png) ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/c/f/cf3446fa64989db560cf67f293566ba4d5526a20.png) ![image](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/e/f/efacd01dc00591300aa7d80c65494e30603e462c.png) **This open-source tool converts any website into a standalone Android app.** You don’t need to know how to code. You don’t need Android Studio. You don’t even need a computer — just download the APK on your phone, paste a website URL, and it turns that site into its own app with a home screen icon. _It also comes with 10 built-in modules (video downloader, dark mode, ad blocker, privacy protection), AI integration, custom userscripts, and APK encryption. All free. MIT licensed. 744+ GitHub stars._ * * * > **🧠 What This Actually Does — Plain English** > > Think of it like wrapping a website in an Android app shell. The website still works the same, but now it: > > - Has its own icon on your home screen (like a real app) > - Opens in its own window (not inside Chrome) > - Can work offline if the website supports it > - Can send push notifications > - Feels like a native app — no browser bar, no tabs, no distractions > > **The difference vs. “Add to Home Screen”:** Chrome’s “Add to Home Screen” is just a bookmark shortcut. This tool creates an actual `.apk` file — a real installable Android application that shows up in your app drawer, can be shared with others, and runs independently. > **⚡ How to Use It — Two Options** > > **Option 1: Just Download the APK (Easiest — no coding)** > > 1. Go to the [GitHub Releases page](https://github.com/shiahonb777/web-to-app/releases) > 2. Download **web-to-app-1.9.5.apk** (latest version) > 3. Install it on your Android phone (you may need to enable “Install from unknown sources” in settings) > 4. Open the app → paste any website URL → it wraps it into a standalone app > 5. Done. The website now lives on your phone as its own app. > > **Option 2: Build from Source (For developers)** > > ```auto > git clone https://github.com/shiahonb777/web-to-app.git > cd web-to-app > ./gradlew assembleDebug > > ``` > > Or open the project in Android Studio and build from there. > > 🔗 **GitHub:** [github.com/shiahonb777/web-to-app](https://github.com/shiahonb777/web-to-app) > **🔧 Built-in Features — Way More Than Just a URL Wrapper** > > This isn’t just a dumb WebView.
