Fluid is a handy app that makes stand-alone, Mac desktop apps from web apps. It’s great because now you can have your favorite apps like Trello, GMail, Github, and Lucidchart as desktop apps rather than tabs that get buried in your browser.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s free to make as many apps as you want or you can pay $4.99 for a license that provides a few more features (e.g., full-screen mode). I\u2019ve been able to do everything I\u2019ve needed using the free version.<\/p>\n
