Desktop apps for Windows, macOS & Linux
We build desktop apps that run anywhere
Cross-platform desktop applications using Electron and Tauri. Real native menus, real auto-updates, real OS integration. Code-signing and notarization handled. Typical engagements run 8-14 weeks.
- ✓ Electron or Tauri — chosen for your perf and binary size needs
- ✓ Code-signing for Windows + Apple notarization handled
- ✓ Auto-updates wired up via Squirrel or Tauri Updater
- ✓ Native menus, tray icons, file system integration
- ✓ Cross-platform builds via GitHub Actions
What you get
Electron or Tauri
Electron for fast iteration and Node.js ecosystem reach. Tauri when binary size and memory matter (10x smaller than Electron).
Real native integration
Menus, tray icons, notifications, file dialogs, OS keychain. Feels like a native app, not a wrapped website.
Code-signing & notarization
Windows EV cert + Apple Developer ID + notarization. Users don't see scary install warnings.
Auto-updates
Background updates via Squirrel (Electron) or Tauri Updater. No more 'click here to download v2'.
Cross-platform builds
GitHub Actions matrix for Windows, macOS (Intel + ARM), Linux. One PR ships three binaries.
Telemetry & crash reporting
Sentry for crashes, opt-in usage analytics, error logs uploaded for debugging.
How we work
Discovery sprint (2 weeks)
Tech spec, platform decisions (Electron vs Tauri), fixed-price proposal, signing/distribution plan.
Build (6-10 weeks)
Weekly cross-platform builds installable on your machine, async daily updates.
Ship & sign
Code-signing, notarization, update server setup. Optional retainer for OS updates and new features.
Frequently asked
How much does a desktop app cost?+
Pricing depends on platform coverage, sync needs, and signing complexity. We give you a fixed proposal after a 2-week discovery sprint. Book a discovery call for a precise quote.
Electron or Tauri — which should I pick?+
Electron if you have a Node.js team and don't care about a 200MB install. Tauri if binary size, RAM usage, or distribution speed matters. We help you decide in the discovery call.
Do you handle code-signing?+
Yes. Windows EV certs (we'll guide you through the purchase) and Apple Developer ID + notarization are part of every desktop engagement.
Can the app sync across machines?+
Yes — we wire up cloud sync (typically Postgres or DynamoDB on AWS) with offline-first local storage. CRDTs if you need real-time collaboration.
Do you support auto-updates?+
Yes. Squirrel for Electron, Tauri Updater for Tauri. Users get background updates without disruption.
How long does it take?+
MVP: 8-10 weeks. Full-featured cross-platform app: 12-14 weeks. Fixed timeline after the discovery sprint.
