WebCatalog Unlimited Apps Crack

WebCatalog is a tool to easily create desktop apps from websites. It's an awesome tool, but the free version (Basic account) limits you to 5 apps.

However, I came up with a simple workaround to trick WebCatalog into letting you install as many apps as you want:

All WebCatalog apps are stored at %LocalAppData%\Programs\WebCatalogApps. On startup, WebCatalog makes a list of your installed apps by looking at this folder. If we make it so WebCatalog cannot find this folder, it won't think we have any apps installed, and it will let us install more.

This is pretty easy to do, but here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Rename the %LocalAppData%\Programs\WebCatalogApps folder to WebCatalogApps1 (or whatever else you want to rename it to).
  2. Restart WebCatalog.
  3. WebCatalog should now let you install up to 5 more apps. As you install your additional apps, WebCatalog should recreate the %LocalAppData%\Programs\WebCatalogApps folder and add the apps to it.
  4. Close WebCatalog.
  5. Copy all the apps you've just installed - the WebCatalogApps folder's contents - from the WebCatalogApps folder to the renamed WebCatalogApps1 folder.
  6. Delete the WebCatalogApps folder.
  7. Repeat steps 2 to 6 until you've installed all the apps you want.
  8. Rename your renamed WebCatalogApps1 folder back to WebCatalogApps.
  9. Restart WebCatalog again

If you are using Windows (idk about other operating systems), the shortcuts may bug out and lose their icons. This will affect desktop icons, taskbar icons, WebCatalog's Installed section, etc. This should fix itself upon rebooting; however, if you want to do it manually, you can reinstall all your apps, which will fix the icons. To do this, open WebCatalog and go to the Installed tab, then click the 3 dots menu and select Reinstall (Repair) for each app:

In this screenshot, my Google Drive app's icon was not corrupted. The point of this screenshot is just to show where the aforementioned button is.

I hope this worked for you! If you have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a comment.

what about linux debian distro?

what about linux debian distro?

Don't know, not familiar with linux. But the app is probably storing these files the same way, just in a different location. You should be able to follow the same trick using whatever folder the apps are stored in, probably debian's equivalent of appdata if it has one.
If you create an app with WebCatalog, the app's executable file should be stored there. Again, I'm not an expert on linux, but on windows you can open the file a shortcut points to. If you find the shortcut you launch said said app (created by WebCatalog) from, it should point to the folder you want.

Let me know if you have any success! I'm sure someone who knows linux could easily figure it out, so if you can't do it yourself, try sharing this post (and my advice here) with another linux user.

I'm sorry, but I don't know what subspace is (excuse my ignorance). I'm assuming it's a feature within WebCatalog?

@HorridModz In one app(space), the user can generate various apps (subspace) in one space. This is like a new tab feature.

Makes sense. I'll have to check this out, but I assume it's pretty simple - my guess is that each subspace has its own folder, just like the main apps have their WebCatalogApps folder. You should be able to follow the same trick using whatever folder the subspace apps are stored in.

You can probably find what folder your subspace apps are stored in by creating an app within the subspace and finding the location of the app's executable file. On windows you can open the file a shortcut points to (go to the shortcut you open the app from in your file explorer - if it's on your desktop, just right-click the icon on the desktop itself) and click "open file location." If it points to another shortcut, repeat for that shortcut. When you get to the app's executable (.exe) file, this should be the folder where the apps are stored,
