Mac, Windows and Linux desktop apps—easily maintainable, in one codebase.

Our Recommendation

Cross-platform desktop apps with modern web technology.

developer coding
  • Electron.js (Recommended)

    Build cross-platform desktop apps (Windows, Mac, Linux) using web technologies like React and TypeScript. Single codebase means faster development and easier maintenance. Proven at scale by VS Code, Slack, and Discord.

  • Tauri (Lightweight Alternative)

    Rust-based framework with smaller bundle sizes and better performance. Great for apps where file size matters, but with a smaller ecosystem than Electron.

  • Native Development (Maximum Control)

    Platform-specific development using Qt, C++, or Swift/C#. Best for apps requiring ultimate performance or specific OS features, but requires multiple codebases and longer development time.

Hardware & USB Integration

Connect to physical devices and access system resources.

  • USB & Serial Device Communication

    Electron.js integrates with Node.js native modules like node-usb and serialport, enabling direct communication with USB devices, barcode scanners, printers, industrial equipment, and custom hardware.

  • Full System Access

    Unlike web browsers, desktop apps have unrestricted file system access, can run background processes, communicate with local databases, and integrate with system-level services without security restrictions.

  • Native OS Integration

    Create true native experiences with system tray icons, global keyboard shortcuts, native menus, custom protocols, auto-updates, and notifications that feel right at home on each operating system.
