On a Mac, take advantage of the "web app" feature with AppSheet

With the Sonoma, you can easily make any web page into an app.  I recently found out about this little feature which strikes me as perfect for AppSheet apps that you use on your Mac.  It allows you to make each of your AppSheet apps function as independent apps.  So, for example, changing the character size on an AppSheet app doesn't affect that character size on your Safari browser as a whole or on any other AppSheet app.  Also the top bar is no longer cluttered with stuff like an address bar, tabs, etc.  And, you can use the Mac's native features to switch between you AppSheet app and other apps.  By the way, I use QuickSilver on my Mac to call apps up and that works with this too!

P.S. I recommend that, after you make a web app for your AppSheet app, you go to settings and turn off "Show navigation controls" because your app has all of the navigation controls you need.  Doing so gives you a tiny bit more real estate for your app.  Also, if you turn off "Show color in title bar" you will be able to see the difference between the bar at the top that you can grab to drag your app to another par of the screen and the main area for your app, which you can't grab.

I missed it at the time but I just realized the @SkrOYC has already explained how to do something like this on a Windows PC:
