Fluidium is an open-source platform for developing Rich Internet Applications that run as native Mac OS X desktop apps. Fluidium is much like Adobe Air, except open source (liberal Apache license), and exclusive to the Mac.

Increasingly, new applications are being written as web apps, but native Cocoa applications still provide the best user experience on Mac OS X. Using Fluidium, you can wrap your existing web app in a pure, native Mac application shell and provide the best of both worlds to your demanding user base.

Fluidium is unabashedly Mac-only, and makes no cross-platform compromises. With the high quality of native Mac apps, cross-platform, least-common denominator approaches don’t cut it on OS X. Your Fluidium-based app will fit right in on OS X as a first-class Cocoa citizen.

Fluidium is based on the same open source technology that powers the popular Mac OS X Site Specific Browser, Fluid.
