I recently started building an offline, desktop app in Flutter as a collection of dev utilities: https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/devtoolbox

Flutter was a promising choice as it'd give me Windows, Mac OS and Linux build from a single codebase - and even the possibility of orgs running this internally as a self-hosted webapp. But one of the ideas I had was to bundle CyberChef with my app and open in a webview. Turns out, Flutter doesn't support webviews on desktop platforms at all. https://github.com/nileshtrivedi/devtoolbox/issues/4

That looks nice, I also worked on something similar but CLI based. It's having both TUI as well as CLI modes.

Since it's written in GO, you can run it pretty much anywhere you like :) ( cross platform )

Yes, it support file inputs as well.

You should check out the WebViewX plugin, for simple websites it works without any drawbacks, even though it's pretty hard to find by just searching for it
If this is the right package, this too doesn't seem to support desktop platforms: https://pub.dev/packages/webviewx
