Tauri
Web UI, Rust core, and installers measured in megabytes instead of hundreds.
What we build with it
- Lightweight desktop tools
- System tray utilities
- Desktop companions to web apps
- Local-first apps where security matters
Why we use it
Tauri uses the operating system webview instead of bundling a browser, so apps start fast and installers stay tiny. The Rust core also means a far smaller attack surface than shipping all of Chromium.
When we don't use it
If an app leans on Electron-specific packages or needs pixel-identical rendering on every OS, Electron's bundled Chromium is the safer bet.
Questions we actually get
Short answers, no sales language. If yours isn't here, ask an engineer directly.
Ask us anythingTauri or Electron?
Tauri for size, speed, and memory. Electron for ecosystem maturity and identical rendering everywhere. We ship both and choose per project.
Do we need Rust developers to maintain a Tauri app?
Mostly no. The UI is plain web code, and the Rust layer is usually thin. We document it so any developer can follow what it does.
