# Coherence X5

## The Most Powerful Way to Turn Websites Into Apps on your Mac.

### What is Coherence?
Coherence X5 is the most powerful way to transform websites into true Mac apps.

Instead of running in a cluttered browser window, your favorite sites become standalone, lightweight apps — isolated for focus and security, yet powered by Chrome’s speed and flexibility. Each app can be customized with its own extensions, profiles, and settings, so it works exactly the way you need it to. Whether it’s email, productivity tools, or streaming services, Coherence makes the web feel like it belongs on macOS.

### Create Powerful Apps in Seconds
Building a Coherence app is effortless — and smarter than ever.

Just enter a URL, pick an icon, and give it a name. In seconds, your site becomes a polished, standalone app ready for your Mac.

Start with the basics

Type in any website, give your new app a name, and pick an icon. Coherence X5 even suggests smart names and macOS-style icons automatically.

### Your browser, your choice
Select from Chrome, Brave, Edge, or even ungoogled Chromium. Each app runs on its own isolated browser engine.

### Install and manage Chrome extensions in each app

### Three Ways to Experience Your Apps
Whether you want a clean, single-window experience, a full browser with tabs, or complete privacy, Coherence X5 adapts to how you work.

#### Standard Apps
The simplest way to turn a website into a true Mac app. Standard apps open in a single, distraction-free window that feels like it was designed for macOS — no extra toolbars, no clutter, just focus.

#### Tabbed Apps
Need the flexibility of a browser with the isolation and customization of a standalone app? Tabbed apps bring multiple pages together with full tab support — perfect for grouping related tools like Gmail, Calendar, and Drive into a single workspace.

#### Incognito Apps
For privacy-first tasks, Incognito apps launch in Chrome’s private browsing mode by default. No saved sessions, no history — just a clean, secure environment every time you open it.

### Your Browser, Your Rules
Why settle for just Chrome? Coherence X5 supports the most popular Chromium-based browsers, giving you the same speed and compatibility, plus the ability to pick the experience that best matches your workflow or privacy needs.

### The Coherence Extension
At the heart of every Coherence app is a powerful browser extension that turns custom Chrome apps into something that feels unmistakably Mac. From intelligent window behavior to deep link handling and seamless session recall, it’s what makes a Coherence app more than just a browser in disguise.

### With Link Forwarding, you control which links open inside your Coherence app — and which should forward to your default browser. No more breaking out of context or juggling popups.

### Your apps can automatically restore the tabs you had open last time. Whether you’re juggling workflows or revisiting research, everything’s ready the moment you relaunch.

### Click your app’s icon in the Dock, and it just works — reopen a minimized window or launch a fresh one with the correct content. Coherence apps behave like real Mac apps, not web shortcuts with odd quirks.

### Coherence X5 is packed with thoughtful tools to help you build, manage, and customize your apps with ease. From icon design to full app library control, everything's designed to give you power without complexity.

### Built for macOS 26 Tahoe
Coherence X5 is completely redesigned for macOS 26 Tahoe - including an all new dark mode- with continued support for macOS 13 and later.

### Icon Customization
Create a look that fits right into your Dock. Choose from smart icon suggestions, upload your own, or use our built-in editor to design Big Sur-style icons in seconds.

### App Library
The new App Library makes it easy to manage your entire collection. Instantly filter, edit, or relaunch apps — and even switch their mode or browser after creation.

### Loved by Power Users and Minimalists Alike
From designers to developers to everyday Mac users, people are switching to Coherence for a reason. Here’s what they’re saying.

> "Exactly what I was looking for! The benefit of Chromium PWAs (including extensions) without having to have the browser running in the dock."  
> - J Ryan

> "Does exactly what it says it will do for Chrome apps, and make sure you pair it with their Safari version called Unite. I have been using them for a year to isolate specific web apps like Gmail, Google Voice, ChatGPT, and a lot of my self-hosted applications (Plex, TrueNAS, Proxmox, etc.)" 
> - Bruce

> "Overall very easy to create web apps and the documentation is good."  
> - Kenji

> "Useful for those platforms that are only accessed through a web browser, the possibility of simulating a native application of the system, greatly improves the visualization as well as its use."  
> - Luis Antonio González Padilla

### Coherence is the most powerful, and most native, Chrome-based SSB tool.
