Tauri Desktop App Development
Need a desktop app without the bloat of Electron? I build cross-platform desktop software with Tauri — a Rust core wrapped around a web-based UI — delivering native performance and binaries measured in megabytes, not hundreds of them.
What I build
Cross-platform apps
One codebase that ships native installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Native OS integration
File system, notifications, system tray, global shortcuts, and multi-window — wired to real OS APIs.
Rust-powered core
Performance-critical and system-level work handled in Rust, exposed cleanly to the UI.
Tiny, fast binaries
Apps measured in megabytes that launch instantly and sip memory.
Auto-updates & signing
Signed, distributable builds with an update channel your users never have to think about.
Web-to-desktop ports
Already have a web app? I wrap and adapt it into a proper desktop product.
How we'll work together
Scope
We define the app, target platforms, and the native capabilities it needs.
Architect
I split the work between a Vue UI and a Rust core, with a clean command layer between them.
Build
Feature work with clickable builds on every platform as we go.
Distribute
Signed installers, auto-update, and CI so new versions ship with one command.
Why Tauri
Smaller downloads, lower memory use, and a smaller attack surface than Electron — while reusing the web UI skills and components you (or I) already have. Ideal for tools, dashboards, and utilities that need to feel native without a native team.
- 10–20× smaller downloads than a comparable Electron app
- Lower memory footprint and faster cold starts
- Smaller attack surface — no bundled Chromium to patch
- Reuses the web UI components you already have

Frequently asked questions
How is this better than Electron?
Tauri uses the operating system's own webview instead of bundling Chromium, so binaries are a fraction of the size, use less memory, and have a smaller attack surface — with the same web UI skills.
Can you port my existing web app?
Usually, yes. Most Vue, React, or plain-JS front ends drop into Tauri with modest changes, plus native features wherever you want them.
Do I need to know Rust?
No. I handle the Rust side and hand you a maintainable app with clear docs. If your team knows Rust, even better.
Can it auto-update?
Yes — I set up signed builds and an update channel so users always run the latest version.
