WebToApp is a tool that turns a website, a set of HTML files, or even a small Node.js/PHP/Python/Go project into a signed Android APK, all built directly on your phone with no PC or remote build server needed. It goes beyond the usual "wrap a URL in a WebView" approach by letting you run real local server runtimes, apply network and privacy hardening, and even export AAB files ready for the Google Play Store.
