Can I convert a URL to EXE for free?

Yes. Websktop's free tier lets you build up to 2 desktop apps at no cost, including Windows EXE builds.

Does the URL need to be public?

Yes. Websktop wraps a website inside a native webview, so the URL must be reachable from the user's machine.

Can I use a local URL or localhost?

For production desktop apps, no — your users will not have access to your localhost. For internal tools, host the app on a private network and configure access separately.

Can I add my own icon to the EXE?

Yes. Upload your icon in the Websktop dashboard and it will be bundled into the final Windows executable.

Can I build for macOS and Linux from the same URL?

Yes. Toggle additional platforms in the same project and Websktop builds them all from the same URL.
