Overview
π Yi Web App Launcher β Turn Any Site Into an App! π Transform any website into a sleek, app-like window or a floating Always-on-Top view for focused browsing and productivity! π₯ NEW in Version 1.2.1: Enhanced Always-on-Top Mode! We've completely overhauled the "Always on Top" feature (Picture-in-Picture) to be more powerful and reliable than ever: β’ Smart Link Handling: No more accidental closures! Navigation links now intelligently open in a new tab, keeping your floating window alive. β’ Interactive Menus: Dropdowns, popups, and complex menus now work perfectly inside the floating window. β’ Smooth Scrolling: Clicking anchor links (like #about) now smoothly scrolls to the content instead of reloading. β’ Restore Button: Easily bring your content back to the main tab with a single click. π― Key Features οΏ½ Device Presets Instantly launch sites in windows perfectly sized for popular devices: β’ Phones: iPhone 14/13/SE, Pixel 7, Galaxy S23 β’ Tablets: iPad Pro/Air/Mini, Surface Pro 9 β’ Laptops: MacBook Air/Pro, Dell XPS, Common 1080p/4K screens β’ Others: Nest Hub, Apple Watch Ultra οΏ½ Always on Top (Picture-in-Picture) Keep any website floating above your other windows. Ideal for: β’ Watching YouTube/Netflix while working β’ Keeping a chat window (WhatsApp, Slack) visible β’ Monitoring stock tickers or analytics dashboards β’ Reading documentation while coding π’ Custom Sizing Need a specific size? Set your own custom width and height (from 100px up to 8K resolution) for precise control. β¨ Why Use Yi Web App Launcher? β’ π’ Productivity: Create dedicated workspaces for Gmail, Notion, Trello, or Calendar. β’ π©βπ» Developers & Designers: Quickly test responsive designs on real-world device viewports. β’ π― Focus: Remove browser clutter (address bars, bookmarks) for a clean, immersive experience. β’ β‘ Fast & Lightweight: No bloat, no tracking, just instant utility. π οΈ How It Works 1.

Click "Launch App Window" β and you're done! π Privacy & Security β’ 100% Private: We do not collect, store, or share any of your data. β’ Safe: Automatically blocks restricted pages (chrome://, Web Store) to prevent errors. β’ Transparent: Open source and built with standard Chrome APIs. π Upgrade Your Browsing Experience Today!
