What is Open App?
Open App is a free and open source Edge add-on that enables you to open a site's App directly from your browser. Simply click on the extension's icon when it is enabled for a website with an external App, and the add-on will attempt to open the App. Make sure you have the App installed on your device for it to work properly. If the website does not declare a linked App, the extension won't open it. Get the source code on GitHub.

Usage: if the website contains an external App, the extension's icon will be enabled. Once you click on it, the extension will attempt to open the App. Make sure you have the App installed on your device to work properly. If the icon is greyed out, it means the website didn't declare a linked App, therefore the extension won't open it.

User reviews
the apps i had installed was windows central and twitter, both of which was not opening from this extension. could you specify the list of apps that are supported? also with the new edge, we can install sites as apps using the PWA feature. please incorporate that also
Excelente app! Agora não fico abrindo mais coisas no navegador quando era pra abrir num programa mesmo, tipo Spotify!
