App for IW is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to bring Instagram's web experience to your desktop in a sleek, standalone popup window. Compatible with PC, Mac, and Linux, this extension lets you access Instagram effortlessly without the typical browser clutter. It operates independently, meaning no background activity occurs once the window is closed, ensuring minimal resource consumption.

The extension provides adjustable window sizing for optimal viewing and works as a wrapper around the official Instagram web application, offering a user-friendly desktop interface. Please note, App for IW is an unofficial tool and is not affiliated with Instagram. For more details, support, or bug reporting, visit the addon's homepage.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

App for IW does not require any sensitive permissions.
