Should I use Electron or Tauri for my desktop app?

Electron is mature and widely used, with a large ecosystem. Tauri produces much smaller, lighter apps. We recommend one based on your features and existing code.

Can one desktop app run on both Windows and Mac?

Yes. With Electron or Tauri, one codebase builds installers for Windows and macOS, and Linux if you need it.

Can my web app and desktop app share the same code?

Often, yes. If your web app is built with React, much of the interface and logic can be reused in the desktop app.

How do desktop app updates reach users?

We set up auto-updates, so the app checks for a new version and installs it in the background. You publish once and users get it.

Desktop apps for Windows and Mac, built to ship.

Flazex designs and builds cross-platform desktop apps for Windows and macOS for startups and teams that need native features, offline use or an app that sits next to their web product.

What you get.

01

Cross-platform app

One codebase that runs on Windows and macOS, with Linux where you need it.

02

Native features

System tray, notifications, global shortcuts, file access and launch on startup.

03

Offline and sync

Local storage so the app works without a connection, syncing with your backend when it is back.

04

Installers and signing

Signed installers for each platform, so users do not get scary security warnings.

05

Auto-updates

New versions roll out to users automatically, so you are never stuck supporting old builds.

06

Docs and release guide

How to build, sign and publish a new version, written down for your team.

What usually goes wrong, and what we do instead.

01

Your users want an app on their machine, but a web tab gets closed and forgotten.

We build a real desktop app with a tray icon, notifications and launch on startup, so it stays in their day.

02

Building separate native apps for Windows and Mac doubles the work.

We use Electron or Tauri to ship one codebase to both, often sharing code with your web app.

03

Installers, code signing and updates are where desktop projects quietly stall.

We set up signed installers and auto-updates as part of the build, not as an afterthought.

How we'll build it.

Step 1
Decide what needs the desktop
We pin down which features truly need native access, and which can stay shared with your web app.
Step 2
Pick the framework
Electron or Tauri, chosen for your app size, performance needs and existing code, then scoped at a fixed price.
Step 3
Build and test on real machines
Weekly demos with installable builds you can run on your own Windows or Mac computer.
Step 4
Sign, release and update
We set up signing, the release pipeline and auto-updates, then ship the first public version.

Questions about desktop apps

A focused desktop app usually takes 4-8 weeks. If you already have a web app, sharing its code can make it faster.
