    Unite 4 brings powerful, native web apps to macOS (sponsored)

    The news: The biggest update ever for Unite has just been released with a number of incredible new additions and significant improvements to existing features.

    • Unite 4 lets you build native web apps in one click, with a redesigned setup UI that supports both light and dark mode
    • Apps are highly customizable, with everything from fonts to window shading and opacity user-configurable
    • Status bar support is available for all of your Unite 4 apps, bringing Twitter, Instagram and other favorite sites just a click away
    • Other major upgrades in Unite 4: refreshed in-app UI, notifications, live dock slices, macOS Keychain support and new pro tools

    Our take: Running websites as near-native apps is incredibly helpful for checking things at a glance…it’s like if complications for Apple Watch also existed on Mac. My two favorite uses so far? Twitter running in the status bar and showing Robinhood as a dock slice.
