iPadian

iPadian is a super simple and user-friendly app for Mac OS X that brings the cool look and feel of the iPad right to your desktop. It’s like having an iPad without actually owning one!

Easy Browsing with iPadian

With iPadian, you can easily browse through all your favorite applications. Want to check Facebook? Play some games? Or maybe watch some YouTube videos? You got it! Each pre-installed app takes you to a webpage or web app that mimics what you're looking for.

A Lot of Fun Features

There’s so much you can do! You can edit photos, read eBooks, listen to music, check the weather, visit your Twitter page, catch up on news, and even play games. The built-in Notification and Messages system keeps you in the loop with the latest Facebook posts and lets you chat with friends easily.

Custom App Store

What’s really cool is that iPadian has its own custom applications store. This makes it easy to install new web apps and grow your collection of handy tools. Plus, you can run multiple apps at once and switch between them smoothly using the multi-task feature.

User-Friendly Dashboard

The Dashboard helps you find and launch any app quickly. Want to change things up? Just head over to the “Settings” menu where you can set a custom username and password or even change your background using images from the web or from their selection.

Performance Issues

Now, here’s something important: when tested on Mac OS X 10.6.8, iPadian worked pretty well! But if you're running it on OS X 10.9.2 or later, be careful—it might crash or fail to launch those pre-installed apps.

No Longer Maintained

A heads-up: iPadian isn’t maintained anymore, which means you'll probably run into quite a few dead web apps after a while. And just so you know, none of these featured apps look quite like those fancy iOS applications available in the App Store.

No Window Mode Available

If you're hoping for window mode—sorry! iPadian takes over your entire screen space when in use.
