Every package Pake depends on, ranked by repo health score.
Pake solves a common frustration with Electron-based webpage-to-app wrappers: bloated installers and heavy resource usage for what's often just a webpage in a window. By building on Rust and Tauri instead of Electron, Pake produces installers typically under 10MB — roughly 20x smaller than equivalent Electron packages — while remaining faster and lighter on system resources.
The tool is used specifically to package popular web apps like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and YouTube as native-feeling desktop apps, but works generically for any webpage a user wants a dedicated app-like window for. Packaging is a one-command CLI operation rather than requiring a full development setup.
GPL-3.0 licensed and enormously popular (59,000+ stars, nearly 12,000 forks — a notably high fork ratio suggesting many users actually build their own custom app variants from it), Pake has become one of the standard tools in the no-Electron desktop wrapper space.
