# 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)
