[@WeblocOpenerBot](https://t.me/WeblocOpenerBot) for telegram is now available!\n\nThere will be no need to install desktop version of WeblocOpener if you have to convert only some links.\n\nBot still being in development for that time trial plan is active for everyone!\n\nIt is expected to have at least 1 premium payed plan with less restrictions for converting. \nOther users will be available to convert some links for free. For most of users it will be enough, \nif you’re not using it commercially or you want to support the project.\n\n## Introduction:\nWeblocOpener is a simple way to open, edit, create MacOS Safari `.webloc` files on Windows and Debian GNU/Linux.\n\n## What is `.webloc` file?\n`.webloc` extension is usually means that in front of you is a MacOS Safari web-url. \nActually it is a text document, formatted to property list - PLIST 1.0 \n([see](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/AboutInformationPropertyListFiles.html)).\nYou can open it with any text-editor (like notepad on Windows or gedit on Ubuntu) to find out the url, saved in `.webloc` file.\nBut if you need to open a big number of files or open them often - using text-editor wouldn't be the fastest and the easiest solution.\nSo that's why this application was created - for these users.\n\n\n## What can WeblocOpener do?\n\n\n**WeblocOpener gives full MacOs `.webloc` files support on Windows and Debian GNU/Linux.**\n[\u003cimg src=\"./img/faq/faq_support.png\"  width=\"888\" /\u003e](#what-can-weblocopener-do)\n\n**Open `.webloc`, `.desktop`, `.url`, `.webarchive` files.** \n[\u003cimg src=\"./img/faq/faq_open.png\"  width=\"888\" /\u003e](#what-can-weblocopener-do)\n\n**Choose whatever browser you want.
