From the developer:
App Factory allows you to easily convert your scripts into full applications. It works with any script you can run from the command line and allows using custom icons.
Make sure that the script contains a proper hashbang at the top such as #!/bin/sh or #!/usr/bin/python. If no hashbang is added the script will not work.
Scripts must be at least 28 bytes in size or else they cannot be used.
