Desktop software, built for Windows and Mac.

Builds your interface with web tools and a Rust core, using the system's own web view, so installers are small and apps start fast.

Use it for

Most of our new cross-platform apps

Trade-off

Newer than Electron, with a smaller ecosystem.

Packs a full browser and Node.js with your app. Well proven: tools like VS Code, Slack and Discord are built on it.

Use it for

Complex apps that need the same look everywhere

Trade-off

Bigger downloads and more memory use.

Microsoft's own native toolkits for Windows apps, written in .NET, with deep Windows integration.

Use it for

Windows-only business and enterprise software

Apple's native toolkits for Mac apps. They give the most polished Mac behaviour and access to new features first.

Use it for

Mac-only or Mac-first apps

Microsoft's cross-platform toolkit: one C# project for Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone.

Use it for

Teams that live in C# and want one codebase

A mature C++ toolkit (with QML) for fast, native-looking apps on every desktop system.

Use it for

Industrial, scientific and embedded-style software

Trade-off

Check the licence terms for commercial use.

Flutter's desktop target draws every pixel itself, so the app looks identical on Windows and Mac.

Use it for

Custom-designed apps that also ship on phones

A cross-platform .NET interface toolkit that feels familiar to WPF developers.

Use it for

C# teams that need Windows, Mac and Linux

JetBrains' toolkit for sharing Kotlin interfaces across desktop and mobile.

Use it for

Kotlin teams building for several systems

A website that installs like an app (a PWA). No download or signing, but fewer system features.

Use it for

Simple tools where a browser is enough

The most-used library for building interfaces from reusable pieces, with a huge ecosystem.

Use it for

Windows and tables in most of our desktop apps

Turns your code into tiny, fast bundles when it is built. Developers who use it tend to love it.

Use it for

Fast apps with a small footprint

Style screens with small ready-made classes. It keeps the design consistent and the CSS tiny.

Use it for

Every design system we build

Accessible, well-tested building blocks (menus, dialogs, tables) that we style to fit your brand.

Use it for

Complex, accessible controls without starting from zero

Reusable screens and rules designed before any code, so every part of the app looks like one product.

Use it for

Keeping big apps consistent as they grow

We follow Windows 11 and macOS design rules: shortcuts, menus, window behaviour and dark mode.

Use it for

Software that feels at home on each system

Keyboard use, screen readers (Narrator, VoiceOver), contrast and zoom, built in from the start.

Use it for

Every project

A tiny, very reliable database that lives in one file next to your app. Fast, and no server to run.

Use it for

Local data in almost every desktop app we build

The most-used database in Stack Overflow's survey. Reliable and powerful for the shared, cloud side.

Use it for

The central database your apps sync with

Sensitive data is encrypted on disk, and secrets live in the system's own vault (Windows Credential Manager, macOS Keychain).

Use it for

Passwords, tokens and private data

The app works fully on its own, then merges changes with the cloud. Tools like PowerSync, Electric and CRDTs handle the merging.

Use it for

Teams that must keep working without internet

The standard ways an app talks to a server to fetch and save data.

Use it for

Connecting to your web systems and services

A live connection to the server, so changes appear on every screen the moment they happen.

Use it for

Live dashboards and shared work

Heavy work such as imports, reports and uploads runs out of sight, so the screen never freezes.

Use it for

Large files and long tasks

Open, save, watch and process files and folders on the computer, including drag-and-drop.

Use it for

Document, import and export workflows

Regular printing, label printers and thermal receipt printers (ESC/POS) with exact layouts.

Use it for

Billing, labels and reports

Handheld scanners work like a keyboard, and cameras can scan too, so checkout and stock are quick.

Use it for

Point of sale, inventory and warehouses

Talk directly to machines: scales, meters, lab devices, locks and controllers.

Use it for

Hardware and IoT software

Live in the system tray, send native notifications and respond to global keyboard shortcuts.

Use it for

Always-on tools and quick actions

Run small AI models right on the computer, for private, offline features such as transcription, search and summaries.

Use it for

Smart features without sending data to a server

When the web layer is not enough, a small Rust or C++ module handles the demanding part at full speed.

Use it for

Heavy computation and special drivers

MSI/MSIX and NSIS on Windows, DMG and PKG on Mac: the files people double-click to install.

Use it for

Every release

A digital signature proves the app comes from you. Windows and Mac show scary warnings without it.

Use it for

Every release, with certificates in your name

Trade-off

Needs yearly certificates and an Apple developer account.

The app checks for new versions and installs them, with signed updates and a way back if something goes wrong.

Use it for

Keeping every customer on the latest version

Official stores give customers a trusted place to install, at the cost of review rules and store fees.

Use it for

Wide reach and consumer-style distribution

Package managers that developers and IT teams use to install and update software with one command.

Use it for

Technical audiences and managed computers

Every change is built and tested on real Windows and Mac machines automatically.

Use it for

Calm, repeatable releases

Sentry reports crashes the moment they happen. Privacy-friendly analytics show which features are used.

Use it for

Fixing problems before customers write in

A new version goes to a few users first, then everyone, and a feature can be switched off remotely if it misbehaves.

Use it for

Releasing with less risk

Tools that check every library that goes into a build and keep a record of it (an SBOM), so surprises are caught early.

Use it for

Software that customers and auditors must trust

License keys and checkout through services like Paddle or Lemon Squeezy, which also handle sales tax.

Use it for

Software you sell to the public
