Firework

Firework is a program for turning web apps and websites into desktop apps. Firework by Startpack creates full-featured desktop programs from everyday web apps for work (online text editors, CRM systems, online accounting services) and entertainment (watching videos, listening to music, and others).


 
The user can always keep the created applications in Firework for Windows PC at hand on the Taskbar or in the System Tray. Such applications will launch instantly and are available at any time. Apps allow the user to receive notifications, customize icons, share apps with colleagues, and control them using keyboard shortcuts.

Applications are created using a link in the launch window. Applications that the user has not pinned to the Taskbar are also found in the launch window. Here the user can find a catalog with ready-made applications or create his own list of categories. It allows creating a comfortable workspace where users never lose their apps.

When will Firework be useful?

• If the user does not want to wait tens of times a day for the page of the online service to load.
• The online service does not have its own client program. Firework allows you to create a client program for any site in 2 clicks.
• The client program of the online service has an unusual interface or is slow.
• The user does not want to install a dozen client programs that work in isolation and clog up the computer.
• It is necessary to simultaneously work with one site from under different accounts.

Features and Highlights

• Make app from any site
• Work with the application using several accounts at the same time

FAQ

Why is Firework Better than Browser Tabs?
Web applications should always be easily accessible, but browser tabs don't differentiate between web apps and other tabs. This makes finding the right web application time-consuming and frustrating.

Why is Firework Better than the Favorites Bar?
While links on the Favorites bar are convenient, opening them results in the web application's tab getting lost among other tabs. Bookmarks always open a new tab instead of switching to an already open web application.

Why is Firework Better than Pinned Tabs?
Pinned tabs are useful, but if you accidentally close the browser window with pinned tabs and have another window open, the pinned tabs can be lost. Firework ensures your important web applications remain accessible without this risk.

Why is Firework Better than Start Pages and Quick Dial?
Browser start pages have the same limitations as the Favorites bar, and in some browsers, they can take several seconds to load. It offers a quicker, more efficient solution.

Why is Firework Better than Virtual Desktops?
Virtual desktops can make finding your open applications a hassle, requiring you to remember which desktop has the application you need. The app eliminates this unnecessary complexity, keeping your workflow smooth and efficient.

Why is Firework Better than Native Desktop Versions of Web Applications?
Native desktop versions of web applications often lack the full functionality available on web platforms. Firework bridges this gap, offering the benefits of both web and desktop environments in a seamless, integrated experience.
