In addition, double-click the title bar to switch to full-screen mode. On Windows and Linux, use --hide-window-decorations for a frameless window with a top drag region. For Mac users, you can also use the gesture to go to the previous or next page and drag the title bar to move the window. The new menu also offers options for navigation, zoom, and window controls.

Command-Line Packaging

# Install Pake CLI
pnpm install -g pake-cli

# Basic usage - automatically fetches website icon
pake https://github.com --name GitHub

# Advanced usage with custom options
pake https://weekly.tw93.fun --name Weekly --icon https://cdn.tw93.fun/pake/weekly.icns --width 1200 --height 800 --hide-title-bar

First-time packaging requires environment setup and may be slower, subsequent builds are fast. For complete parameter documentation, see CLI Usage Guide. Don't want to use CLI? Try GitHub Actions Online Building.

Using Pake from a script or AI agent? Pass --json for machine-readable results, describe apps declaratively with --config app.json (schema), and package local build output directly with pake ./dist --name MyTool. See llms.txt for the full agent contract. Claude Code users can install the official skill with /plugin marketplace add tw93/Pake and /plugin install pake@pake.

Copy this to your AI agent to get started:

Use Pake (npm i -g pake-cli) to package webpages as desktop apps. Read https://unpkg.com/pake-cli@latest/llms.txt first; always run pake with --json and parse stdout as a single JSON object. Package <url-or-local-dist> into an app named <AppName>.

Development

Requires Rust >=1.85 and Node >=22 (recommended LTS; >=18 also works). For detailed installation guide, see Tauri documentation. If unfamiliar with development environment, use the CLI tool instead.

# Install dependencies
pnpm i

# Local development [right-click to open debug mode]
pnpm run dev

# Build application
pnpm run build

For style customization, feature enhancement, container communication and other advanced features, see Advanced Usage Documentation.
