Electron
Electron is an open-source programming environment to allow an application normally developed for a web browser to run as a standalone app on the user's computer. It consists of a browser to display the output the application generates (currently Chromium), a CSS processor, and a Javascript interpreter, It also provides the same connectivity to the Internet that the user's web browser has, so that, for example, if the application uses a remote database, it can connect to it.
Electron can encrypt the application so that its internal operations are not visible to those who download it.
