# Web Apps

These web apps live in `~/.local/share/applications`. They're just `.desktop` text files. You can make your own or remove the default ones by cloning or deleting these files.

## WhatsApp

[WhatsApp](https://www.whatsapp.com/) is one of the most popular messaging services in the world, and the web version is a great option for Linux.

## HEY

[HEY](https://www.hey.com/) is an email and calendar service that serves as a great alternative to people tired of Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail. It's made by [37signals](https://37signals.com/) where Omakub originated.

## Basecamp

[Basecamp](https://basecamp.com/) is a project management service that helps small teams move faster and make more progress. Instead of patching together a mishmash of Trello, Slack, Asana, Notion, or whatever, you can have it all in one place with Basecamp. It's made by [37signals](https://37signals.com/) where Omakub originated.

## Add more...

You can easily add new web apps using the `web2app` terminal command by passing a name, url, and link to an icon. 

Example:
`web2app 'Google Photos' https://photos.google.com https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/homarr-labs/dashboard-icons/png/google-photos.png`

That'll download the icon straight from [Dashboard Icons](https://dashboardicons.com) and create the new web app, which you as always can launch with `Super + Space` and writing `Google Photos` or find under the `Web Apps` application folder.

There's a handful of web apps that I often use available for easy install using the Omakub application, then Install > Web Apps, and you can select from there. It just calls `web2app` under the hood.

If you wish to remove a web app, you can use `web2app-remove NAME`.
