Convert a website to a desktop app

Desktop apps are great for keeping focused. Unlike a browser they only work with one app, and you can't get distracted with other tabs. You can alt-tab to them to move around quicker and you can open them by name from Spotlight or the Start menu.

If you have a product and customers using it, a desktop app can be a great addition to your offering. Users open desktop apps more often, spend longer in the app, and are more focused while using them.
