## Breaking News ⚠️
Hello everyone!
Today I have an announcement for you.
I’m happy to announce that [@WeblocOpenerBot](https://t.me/WeblocOpenerBot) for telegram is now available!
There will be no need to install desktop version of WeblocOpener if you have to convert only some links.
Bot still being in development for that time trial plan is active for everyone!
It is expected to have at least 1 premium payed plan with less restrictions for converting.
Other users will be available to convert some links for free. For most of users it will be enough,
if you’re not using it commercially or you want to support the project.
## Introduction:
WeblocOpener is a simple way to open, edit, create MacOS Safari `.webloc` files on Windows and Debian GNU/Linux.
## What is `.webloc` file?
`.webloc` extension is usually means that in front of you is a MacOS Safari web-url.
Actually it is a text document, formatted to property list - PLIST 1.0
([see](https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/AboutInformationPropertyListFiles.html)).
You can open it with any text-editor (like notepad on Windows or gedit on Ubuntu) to find out the url, saved in `.webloc` file.
But 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.
So that's why this application was created - for these users.
