Peel
Turn any website into a native-like Android app
Peel is an open-source Android app that turns websites into standalone, app-like experiences. It lets you create lightweight web apps with custom icons, isolated storage, and fine-grained privacy controls, separate from your browser.
Powered by GeckoView (Mozilla's browser engine)
Features
- Add websites as standalone apps with automatic icon and title fetching
- Launch web apps directly from your home screen with adaptive icons
- App grouping with home screen group shortcuts
- Per-group and per-app optional isolated sandbox with separate cookies and storage
- Per-sandbox HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, and SOCKS5 proxy support
- Offline on-device page translations powered by Mozilla's translation models
- Smart external link routing to other Peel apps or system browser
- Privacy controls: GPC signal, fingerprinting protection, local network blocking, WebRTC IP leak prevention
- Firefox extensions support
- Enhanced Tracking Protection, HTTPS-only mode, custom headers
- Lock sensitive web apps behind biometric authentication, block screenshots
- Dynamic status bar color matching web content
- Background media playback with full MediaSession support (notification controls, seek, metadata)
- Set settings globally or override them per app
- Share individual apps and groups, or export and import full backups
- Written in Kotlin with Material 3 interface
