A desktop app development company for Windows, macOS and Linux

Electron bundles Chromium and Node.js, so rendering is identical everywhere and the ecosystem is large, but installers are bigger and a new major ships every 8 weeks. Tauri 2 uses the system WebView with a Rust back end, so apps are much smaller, with a tighter permission model and a smaller ecosystem. We recommend one in discovery, with the reasons in writing.

We don’t publish prices, because cost depends on scope: how many operating systems, offline sync, hardware integration, how much existing code we reuse or replace, and signing and store distribution. Budget for upkeep too, such as Electron upgrades and OS releases. After a free call you get a written scope and a fixed quote.

Yes, when the work is heavy, offline or close to hardware: large files, 3D and media, field work without a connection, or devices on USB and Bluetooth. If your users only need forms and dashboards online, a web app is usually cheaper to run. Many products ship both from shared code.

For apps people download outside the Mac App Store, Gatekeeper checks for a Developer ID signature, and Apple’s notary service adds a ticket that tells Gatekeeper the software has been checked. Without both, users see warnings that stop many installs, so we sign and notarize every Mac release with notarytool.

It keeps running, but Windows 10 itself no longer gets security updates unless the PC is enrolled in Extended Security Updates, which end on 12 October 2027 for consumers and after up to three paid years for organisations. We test your app on Windows 11 and move it to .NET 10 where it needs work.

Yes. Electron and Tauri both build for Windows, macOS and Linux from one codebase, and Tauri 2 can also target iOS and Android. Platform-specific parts such as menus, signing, installers and some device access still need per-platform work, which we scope up front.

Through a signed update feed: the app checks for a new version, downloads it and verifies the signature before installing. We use electron-updater, the Tauri updater or Sparkle on macOS, with staged releases so a bad build reaches few users and can be rolled back.

Direct download gives you full control of pricing, updates and licensing; the Microsoft Store and winget make discovery and installs easier for some users, and managed deployment suits company PCs. Many apps use more than one. We set up the channels your users need, all in your accounts.
