Hello Hunters! We're incredibly excited to be launching Unite 3 today, our biggest launch yet. This year's update includes dramatic stability improvements and hundreds of enhancements and additions. These include things like Intelligent Whitelisting, which automatically sets up a whitelist for you when you create your app without you having to set a thing - Compact apps, which bring phone experiences to the desktop - and ad blocking. We hope you like it as much as we do! Please let me know what you think and what you want to see in the future. I've included a few free licenses for the first few hunters. 464A167F-C468C3CB-C71BFEBD-25D0FBAB-CCFCD0A4 A3E83659-FB1376A0-8F49DE71-F7D8BF1D-B484FB4C 53A40DAB-F96B6FFB-396CC868-CF1D295B-0F0A839A D13E31C8-405DDF84-6D9FB7F4-325173CA-997C8A52 DF3D92FD-005A4E36-F67B0785-BBDFE3C9-C1104641 Additionally, today only, Product Hunt users can get Unite 3 for just $9.99 using the code ProductHunt Thanks again for taking a look!

@bzg0515 Just tried all of the licenses one by one and they have been all used already :(

@bzg0515 downloaded unite 3, went to purchase and pay via PayPal but it completed the purchase before I was able to enter a discount code.

@cydeswype1 Hi Ian, There is an option to add a discount code on the Paddle interface below the icon before the PayPal page. The discount code ended a number of days ago. If you'd like to make changes to your order please contact us via the site.
Ian Miller
@bzg0515 Gotcha. I don't mind paying full price because Unite 2 was a favorite product of mine and this v3 is a HUGE step forward in the UX. MUCH easier to use. I know I can do most of the same things using https://github.com/jiahaog/nativ... but I think the ease-of-use you've added in Unite is well worth $20. Thanks!
Luis da Silva
Congrats @bzg0515 :) However, after trying to use multiple Google accounts (Personal and Work account), the app will open another tab. Nothing wrong with that, but it's just that if you had a way to switch account without open separate tab, plus shortcuts (*winkwink*), that would make me insta buy Unite 3 :) These are just my 2 cents, but hey, what do I know? ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™‚๏ธ Again, congrats on the release ๐Ÿ‘

@lpzilva Noted, will try to look into this, thank you for trying!

What's the battery impact of the app? In my experience these apps are much more power hungry than Safari
Binyamin Goldman
Maker
@andre_e_g We should really do some more scientific testing in the future, but from what I've heard from users and in my personal experience it should not be much different than running these sites individually in Safari.

Hello, Congratz :) I have a simple question, besides Whitelisting and Ad blocking... What are the main differences between Unite 3 & Nativefier? Nativefier is an opensource project. Why should I buy Unite 3? :) https://github.com/jiahaog/nativ...
Binyamin Goldman
Maker
@kuray_ogun Nativefier only allows you to host the site in an app window. As you said, whitelisting and ad blocking are major differences, but also things like status bar mode, various window modes, user styles and scripts, user agents, regular updates and support, and major customizability abilities make Unite a far different product.
Daniel Kempe
LOVE this! Congrats on the launch!
John Espino
Missed the free codes! But congrats on this solid release! Testing out the trial and it's much better for me from Unite 2 even.
John Espino
Hey @bzg0515, is there a way to override right clicks for apps that present a custom right click context menu? Say for example, open a link in a new tab for Notion (which has a custom context menu on right-click). Thank you!
Daniel Roger Casanova
Worked flawlessly for several SaaS I use on day to day

?Makers Congrats! just purchased. The load bar bottom left corner is low resolution and not always a good color for the app. The look could be better if it was cleaner or maybe centered as a simple line?
Binyamin Goldman
Maker
@jmhope2 I agree, would like to change at some point. Can turn off in settings for the moment if you want.
Tudor Baidoc
Looks promising, I installed it, but... I tried adding the atlassian.net, but when I launch the App, it opens the Google Chrome Browser to login. Is this a bug?
Binyamin Goldman
Maker
@baidoct Probably a whitelist issue. You can either go to preferences within the app and turn off/tune or create with whitelist disabled. Means Atlassian has some redirects we werenโ€™t expecting, will try to catch and hardcode in.
Kumar Abhirup
Hey, how do I make it open a new tab in Google Chrome when I sign in?

Hey @kumar_abhirup1 , not exactly sure which situation you are describing. Could you elaborate? Please send me a message over on our site or twitter.

?Makers but Just purchased. Doesn't seem to block sponsored posts in Facebook. Any ideas?

@itsbrex Ad blocking is not enabled by default. Preferences -> Block Ads. Let me know if still does not work.
Ali Zahid
Love it! A few questions; - How can I customize the title bar? I don't want the icon, and a different color for it. - Are there any docs for handling notifications, deep links, etc? I'm planning to try this instead of Electron; would that be possible?
Binyamin Goldman
Maker
@alizahid you can customize in your created app -> preferences -> appearance No notification support. Don't know exactly what you mean by using instead of Electron: if you mean creating an app using Unite for distribution we have a separate Enterprise product you can find on the webpage.
Richard Shaver
When I downloaded the file from your website I got Unite 2? Is there any way to download Unite 3?
Binyamin Goldman
Maker
@richard_shaver You should be able to easily get from the 'download now' button on the page. Could you please tell me where you see a link to Unite 2?
Richard Shaver
I found out it said Unite 2 because it downloaded twice because my computer is so slow and I hit the button twice after I thought that it hadn't downloaded the first time.
Richard Shaver
But now I'm having another issue. I tried making a app out of Movies Anywhere and the Blackboard website of the college that I attend to make them both easier to get to, but now whenever I try to open them and or login to either one of them it automatically opens it in Safari instead of Unite and it just gives me a blank white page on the Unite app?
Binyamin Goldman
Maker
@richard_shaver Just a whitelist issue, you can change the rules or turn off by going to Preferences in your app -> whitelist -> and change rules or allow all urls.
