Unite

2.1
29 May 2019

Turn websites into full-featured apps.

Overview

Unite allows you to quickly and easily turn websites into full-featured, native apps on macOS. With Unite 2, we've completely rewritten the backend browser with WebKit 2, enabling support for the latest web standards and technologies. And, because Unite apps are each a unique browser, they feature separate cookies and settings, as well as support for user scripts and user styles. ​Unite 2 includes a series of new category-leading customization features, including the ability to choose a custom color for your window, toggle the icon and window name, make a floating browser window, and more. In addition to modern web browsing features, Unite apps include macOS-specific features, including notifications, TouchBar support, the ability to pin apps to the status bar, and much more.

What's new in Unite

Version 2.1:
An all new design
  • Redesigned Unite for the very first time in Unite 2.1. The new creation tool features an intuitive and beautiful interface carefully designed to make creating Unite apps easier - and prettier - than ever.
Improvements
  • Unite 2.1 includes hundreds of bug fixes and improvements. Stability was our major focus for this update, and now you get all of the great features of Unite 2 with significantly improved performance.
New Features
  • Unite 2.1 includes a number of major new features, including a completely reworked system for downloading and uploading files, clear history, improved windowing and status bar apps, native notifications for Gmail, and much more.

It kind of works with some of my websites, but most of them just show the front page but none of the menu options or java script buttons do not work, so pretty much a waste of money and time which is pretty disappointing to just feel like I've just thrown money away, Should have been a demo to try out in the offer, could not find one and simply trusted the MacUpdate site to be selling a product that works which has always been the case up to this product.

I have been using Unite 2 for several months now and cannot imagine having to work without it. Therefore, I am somewhat surprised by the low rating this app receives, because for me it has been nothing less than a time-saving and productivity beast. Sure, it is not a full-fletched browser with plugin support (not sure why this is a dealbreaker, as I believe it was never meant to work as a browser replacement in the first place anyway), but it allows me to quickly launch and switch between web-apps for which no desktop app has been designed. And to the best of my ability for testing performance, it is worth noting that I notice a clear performance improvement. When running often-used (heavy) web-apps as separate Unite apps next to my general multi-tab browsing in Safari or Chrome they remain stable and fast, (suprisingly, some websites run smoother and consume less RAM in Unite 2 than in Safari or Chome). I still have to figure out how to use user scripts, but I cannot find any documentation for this. Would be great if the developer provides some more documentation for this, preferably with some examples. Also, I cannot get the bookmarks bar to work (the bar remains empty when adding bookmarks, perhaps I do something wrong), but besides, it would be great to enter multiple tabbed websites when creating the app to have it always open multiple taps at startup. Anyway, great work! Best, Maru

I really want to like this app. It's a great idea. It is functional, but it is missing the ability to use extensions. I don't use a browser without being able to install a few key extensions like an ad blocker and Roboform. The apps that I created are all light on resources, but without extensions, I have no use for it.

Hi Usmaak,

Indeed extensions would be optimal but as we use a custom backend with Unite it may potentially require creating a whole new extension ecosystem. We are working on supporting Safari extensions but haven't figured out yet. If extensions are a must-have, we'd recommend checking out Coherence Pro if you haven't already.

Thanks

I really hate this developer! Coherence, Coherence Pro, Unite? The developer did the similar things/apps, and earned three times the money. Maybe the developer will make Unite Pro, and earn money once again. Yuck!

Hi there,

This is a pretty unfair comment, as there are major differences between these three applications (and if there weren't, not one would buy them).

Unite uses a custom web kit browser that allows for backend features like notifications, status bar apps, customization features, etc. and costs $9.99

Coherence uses Chrome as a backend, which since is not our backend, means we are missing a number of the Unite type features. However, since it is Chrome it supports virtually all web experiences, and extensions.

The currently updated and feature-full Coherence release is called Coherence Pro, and retails for $9.99. We decided to offer a cheaper version with the basic functionality for $4.99, that doesn't include things like extensions and tabbed apps.

Certainly it is unfair to say these do the same things, and while some choose to purchase multiple, many pick one and stick with that, and they are on parallel development cycles.

Still not remembering window size in Mojave. Fluid.app, Coherence, every other app I use remembers the window size. I've been looking for updates now that Mojave is officially released.

Is there a trial version? This sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what it can actually do. Trial version would let me see... but there's so much crappy software out there, I can't afford to buy it all.

What is the point of "writing" a "review" like this. You went to the trouble of typing, couldn't you be bothered to take a few more seconds to write something useful, helpful, or actually say anything about the software?

Could not find any informational help with this app and had problems getting it to function immediately after installing and buying it. It now works as advertised and for what it does, I am well pleased.

What are the chances that support for plugins will be added for this? An ad blocker would be particularly useful. I use ad blocking software on all browsers and ads appearing on app windows is annoying.

We are very interested in the possibility of adding plugins and it is something we are heavily looking into. Can't guarantee it, but if it is something that is reasonably possible to add it will be there in the future.

Any word on this? I just took a look and still no ad blocking. One of the most painful things about using the internet now is ads. They're everywhere and they're intrusive. Being able to use AdBlocker in this would be huge!

What is the difference between Unite and Coherence, made by the same company? They appear to do the same thing.

Great question! Coherence uses a Chrome interface and can use up to 100+ MB of memory whereas Unite uses Webkit (Safari) and uses around 20 MB. Unite can also make a menu bar (status bar) item for getting quick glances, a feature I used for a company calendar that I need to reference but not interact with that much. The apps do similar things, but Unite does a lot more with a lot less (memory).
