Coherence X
Freemium
Coherence X turns websites into standalone macOS apps powered by Chrome and other supported Chromium-based browsers. It is designed for Mac users who want separate Dock-accessible apps, browser profiles, extensions, and link behavior for web services.
What is Coherence X?
Coherence X is a macOS app builder that turns websites into standalone apps using Chrome or another supported Chromium-based browser. Instead of keeping a service in a browser tab, users can give it its own Dock icon, window, browser data, extensions, and link-handling rules.
The creation workflow starts with a website URL, a name, and an icon. Users then select a browser engine and can import relevant browser data and extensions into the new app without changing the original browser setup. Coherence supports standard single-window apps, tabbed apps for grouped web tools, and incognito apps that launch in Chrome’s private browsing mode.
Created apps can be edited and managed through Coherence’s App Library. Settings include appearance, icon design, browser profiles, session restoration, new-window behavior, and link routing. Coherence X6 is listed for macOS 15 and later, with support for Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
What can Coherence X do?
Separate profiles and extensions
Import selected browser data and extensions into an app so web services can use their own logins, bookmarks, history, preferences, and extension setup without altering the source browser.
Standard, tabbed, and incognito modes
Choose a focused single-window app, a tabbed app for combining related pages, or an incognito app that opens in Chrome’s private browsing mode by default.
Link routing rules
Control whether links stay in the current app, open in another Coherence app, launch in a particular browser, or use the default browser. Rules can target specific websites and URLs.
Window and session controls
Configure how an app handles new windows, restores previous tabs, and reopens content when launched from the Dock.
App library and icon customization
Manage created apps in the App Library, change their browser engine or mode, and use suggested icons, uploaded images, or the built-in editor to create a custom icon.
Use Cases
“Separate work and personal accounts”
Create dedicated apps for services such as Gmail or other web tools so different accounts can remain isolated and each service can be opened from its own Dock icon.
“Group related web tools”
Use a tabbed app to bring several connected pages, such as email, calendar, and cloud storage, into one managed workspace without mixing them with unrelated browser tabs.
“Run extension-dependent services”
Build an app around a web service that relies on browser extensions or imported profile settings, carrying over only the extensions and data needed for that app.
“Keep privacy-sensitive sessions separate”
Use an incognito app for tasks that should start in Chrome’s private browsing mode without a saved session or browsing history.
“Route links across browser environments”
Set rules for services that need different destinations—for example, keeping selected links in a dedicated app while sending other links to a chosen browser.
