This thread explains how to turn a Chrome tab into a first-class Mac app that lives in the Dock:

How to make Web Apps appear as First-Class Mac Desktop Citizens

Looking for the same approach but with Safari instead of Chrome.

Apple's official Safari web apps adds this feature for macOS 14 Sonoma and Safari 17 in 2023:

  1. In Safari, open the webpage that you want to use as a web app.

  2. From the menu bar, choose File > Add to Dock.

    Or click the Share button in the Safari toolbar, then choose Add to Dock.

This adds the website as a dedicated app icon in your Dock.

  • What is a PWA? and please provide an answer not just a link. An answer should standalone if the link is removed. (The link should stay in this case as you need to attribute who provided the information and to provide extra information) – mmmmmm Feb 15 '22 at 11:21

Don't think there is an option with Safari. However, I've used an app called Fluid that can create websites into standalone apps. It is free, but there's extra minor features available for a small fee. Have a look at it here: https://fluidapp.com
