Project overview
Platypus is a macOS developer tool that wraps shell, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, PHP, and other command-line scripts in native application bundles. The generated apps can show progress or output, accept dropped files, send notifications, run as status items, or work in the background. A graphical interface and command-line tool support both interactive packaging and automated builds.
