PakePlus
What is this?PacBao (also known as PakePlus) packages any webpage, HTML site, or Vue/React project into a lightweight native desktop or mobile app under 5MB, in just a few minutes.
Is this a coding library or a ready-to-use app?It is a ready-to-use application (a downloadable desktop client plus a web version) rather than a library - you point it at a URL or static files and it builds the app for you, no coding required.
How do I turn my website or Vue/React app into a native app?Install the PacBao app (or use the web version), configure a GitHub token or pick local packaging, create a new project pointing at your URL or a compiled dist/index.html folder, and build.
Do I need a GitHub token or local dev tools installed?A GitHub Token lets packaging run in the cloud via GitHub Actions, but it's optional - local packaging needs no token and no extra dependencies, and finishes in about 30 seconds.
Is the front-end code still fully open source?No - after some people abused the project to package illegal software, the maintainer stopped open-sourcing the front-end code, and further misuse could make the whole project closed-source.
Which platforms can the generated app target?From the same project you can build apps for Mac, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS.
Where does my GitHub token and packaged project end up?Your token is kept only on your local machine, and the packaged project/output is stored in your own GitHub repository, which is publicly viewable.
How much smaller is a PacBao app than an Electron app?About 20 times smaller (under 5MB) and roughly 10 times faster, because it's built on Rust-based Tauri instead of bundling a full Chromium/Node runtime like Electron.
Can I inject custom JavaScript into the packaged app?Yes, PacBao lets you write and inject your own JavaScript into the page, which can call system-level APIs such as downloading files, executing commands, or opening new windows.
Can I package a static build instead of a live URL?Yes, it supports static file packaging - you can drop in a compiled dist folder or a single index.html from your Vue/React project to create the app.
What's the difference between PacBao and PakePlus?PacBao is the current product name; the GitHub repository is still called PakePlus, but the app, docs, and branding now use the PacBao name.
What are similar projects?PakePlus-Win7, rayburst, spacedrive, SwitchHosts, formily, openspot-music-app, tauri, iloader
Which topics is it in?webapp, vue3, no-code, tauri, mobile-app, html, ios, rust, productivity, android, gui, react
