Desktop apps

Windows, macOS, and Linux software, from tiny tray utilities to full applications.

Cross-platform applications

One codebase for Windows, macOS, and Linux with Tauri or Electron, or .NET MAUI for C# teams.

Your web app on the desktop

An existing web product wrapped into a real desktop app with native menus, shortcuts, and offline behavior.

Utilities and tray tools

Small, fast tools that live in the system tray and start with the machine, built lean with Tauri.

Distribution done right

Installers, code signing, and auto-update pipelines, so shipping version two is a button, not a project.

Built in when your project needs it

The features that come up in almost every scoping call. If yours isn't listed, ask. This list is where most projects start.

  • Auto-update pipelines
  • Installers and code signing
  • System tray and start-with-OS behavior
  • Local database and offline-first storage
  • Hardware integration: printers, scanners, serial devices
  • File system tooling and watchers
  • Global shortcuts and native menus
  • Crash reporting
  • Sync with a web or mobile companion
  • License keys and activation

How it runs.

Scope

We compare Tauri, Electron, and .NET against your case and propose the fit, with the tradeoffs written down.

Build

Installable builds from early on, so you can test the app on real machines.

Ship

Signed installers, auto-update infrastructure, and handover with the release pipeline documented.

Questions clients ask

Short answers, no sales language. If yours isn't here, ask an engineer directly.

Ask us anything
Tauri, Electron, or .NET, which will you pick for us?

Tauri when size and speed matter, Electron when ecosystem and identical rendering matter, .NET when your team lives in C#. We write the comparison down for your case before any code, so you choose with the tradeoffs in front of you.

Can you turn our web app into a desktop app?

Usually yes, and it is one of the fastest desktop projects there is. Your existing frontend gets native menus, shortcuts, auto-update, and proper installers.

Do you handle code signing and updates?

Yes. Unsigned apps scare users and IT departments, so certificates, signing, and auto-update pipelines are part of the build, under your accounts.

Can you modernise our old Windows app?

Often, yes. We start by reading the old app and listing what it does today, including the parts nobody wrote down. Then we propose a path: rebuild it on .NET, Tauri or Electron, or move some of it to the web. The written scope says what carries over and what changes. The work is billed $30 an hour or in milestones you accept one by one.
