Score: 5.5/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 6, Documentation: 6, Utility: 4)

Apargon is a desktop runtime for 'papps'—single HTML files with meta tags declaring permissions—that opens them in a sandboxed window. It's an interesting combination of simplified desktop app packaging with a declarative permission model and agent-friendly skill integration, though its narrow platform support and reliance on user trust limit reach.

Target audience: developers, particularly those building quick internal tools or AI-agent-generated apps, and users wanting lightweight local apps on macOS/Linux
