Desktop Apps Built with JavaScript for Every OS
Electron Development Services
VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify — all built with Electron. We build cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node.js that run natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single codebase. Your web team builds desktop apps without learning new languages. Full access to the file system, native menus, system tray, notifications, and OS-level APIs. Ship faster, hire fewer specialists, and reach every desktop user.
Our Electron Development Services Include
We build cross-platform desktop applications using Electron, combining Chromium for the UI and Node.js for system-level access. Your web developers use JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Vue, or Angular to build desktop apps that run on Windows, macOS, and Linux — with full access to the file system, native menus, system tray, notifications, auto-updates, and OS APIs. One team, one codebase, every desktop platform.
Learn MoreWhat We Build For You with Electron
Electron combines Chromium (for UI) and Node.js (for system access) into a single runtime. Your web developers build real desktop apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — with native OS features, file system access, and auto-updates built in. Here is what we deliver.
Cross-Platform Desktop Apps (Windows, macOS, Linux)
We build Electron apps that run natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single JavaScript/TypeScript codebase. Your app gets its own window, taskbar icon, native menus, keyboard shortcuts, and system tray integration on every platform. We use React, Vue, or Angular for the UI and Node.js for backend logic — file system access, database connections, spawning child processes, and OS-level APIs. One codebase, one team, three platforms. VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, and Postman all use Electron — and so can your app.
SaaS & Productivity Desktop Apps
Turn your web-based SaaS product into a proper desktop application. We build Electron wrappers and full native desktop clients for project management tools, CRM dashboards, code editors, writing apps, design tools, and analytics platforms. Your users get a dedicated desktop app that launches from the dock or taskbar, works offline with cached data, runs in the background, sends native OS notifications, and syncs automatically when online. It feels like a native app — because Electron makes it one. Auto-updates via electron-updater keep everyone on the latest version.
Enterprise & Internal Business Tools
Many enterprises need desktop apps that work offline, access local files, and integrate with internal systems. We build Electron-based enterprise tools — inventory managers, reporting dashboards, data entry systems, document processors, and workflow automation apps — with SSO/LDAP authentication, encrypted local storage (SQLite/LevelDB), role-based access control, and secure API connections to your backend. We package and distribute via MSI, DMG, or company-managed deployment (SCCM, Intune, MDM). Your IT team controls updates and rollouts.
Web-to-Desktop Conversion
Already have a React, Angular, or Vue web app? We convert it into a full Electron desktop application without rebuilding from scratch. We wrap your existing web codebase, add native desktop features (file system access, drag-and-drop from OS, native dialogs, clipboard integration, system tray, global shortcuts), configure auto-updates, and package installers for Windows (EXE/MSI), macOS (DMG), and Linux (AppImage/deb/snap). Your web app becomes a real desktop app — typically in 3–6 weeks. Same code, new superpowers.
Electron Performance Optimization
Electron apps can be fast — if built correctly. We optimize memory usage, startup time, bundle size, and rendering performance to make your app feel snappy. We implement lazy loading, code splitting, V8 snapshot caching, IPC optimization between main and renderer processes, offloading heavy work to worker threads, and smart resource management. We reduce app package size with proper tree shaking and asset compression. We also audit existing Electron apps that feel sluggish and fix the bottlenecks. Your users get a lightweight, responsive experience — not a bloated browser tab.
Native Node.js Modules & System Integration
Electron’s Node.js integration gives your app superpowers that browsers cannot match. We integrate native Node modules for serial port communication, USB device access, Bluetooth, file watchers, SQLite databases, sharp image processing, FFmpeg video/audio handling, and OS-level scripting. Need to talk to a barcode scanner, control a printer, watch filesystem changes, or run Python scripts from your app? Node.js makes it possible. We also build custom native addons (N-API/node-gyp) when existing modules do not cover your hardware or protocol requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about Electron? Here are simple, honest answers to what people ask us most.
What is Electron and how does it work?
Electron is an open-source framework created by GitHub that lets you build desktop applications using web technologies — HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript. It bundles Chromium (for rendering the UI) and Node.js (for system-level access) into a single runtime. Your app runs as a native desktop application on Windows, macOS, and Linux with its own window, taskbar icon, native menus, and system tray. VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, WhatsApp Desktop, and Postman are all built with Electron. It is the most popular framework for cross-platform desktop apps.
How much does an Electron app cost?
A simple Electron app (utility tool, dashboard wrapper, single-purpose app) costs $10,000–$30,000. A mid-sized app with offline storage, authentication, auto-updates, and system integrations runs $30,000–$80,000. A complex Electron app (full SaaS client, code editor, design tool, enterprise platform) ranges from $80,000–$200,000+. Converting an existing web app to Electron is faster and cheaper — typically $8,000–$25,000 depending on complexity. Since one codebase covers all three desktop platforms, you save 50–60% compared to building separate native apps for each OS.
Are Electron apps slow or bloated?
Poorly built Electron apps can feel heavy — but well-built ones are fast. VS Code is an Electron app used by millions of developers daily, and it is highly responsive. The key is proper architecture: lazy loading, efficient IPC communication between main and renderer processes, V8 snapshot caching for faster startup, worker threads for heavy computation, smart memory management, and keeping the bundle lean. We follow all of these best practices. A production-optimized Electron app launches in 1–2 seconds and uses 100–200 MB RAM, which is perfectly acceptable for a full desktop application.
Can I convert my existing web app into an Electron desktop app?
Yes — this is one of the most common use cases. If you already have a React, Angular, Vue, or any JavaScript-based web app, we can wrap it in Electron and add native desktop features: file system read/write, native dialogs (open, save, print), drag-and-drop from the OS, system tray with background processes, global keyboard shortcuts, auto-updates via electron-updater, offline mode, and native OS notifications. The conversion typically takes 3–6 weeks. Your web app becomes a real installable desktop app — same code, new capabilities.
How long does it take to build an Electron app?
Converting an existing web app takes 3–6 weeks. A new Electron app from scratch takes 6–12 weeks for a mid-sized project. A complex desktop application with native integrations, offline databases, and advanced features takes 3–6 months. Since Electron uses JavaScript/TypeScript, development is faster than learning Swift/Objective-C for macOS or C# for Windows. If your team already builds web apps, they can contribute to the Electron project immediately. We work in 2-week sprints with regular builds you can test on all three platforms.
Electron vs Tauri — which should I choose?
Tauri is a newer alternative that uses the OS’s built-in WebView instead of bundling Chromium, resulting in smaller app sizes (2–10 MB vs 80–150 MB). However, Electron has a massive ecosystem, proven stability, and is used by the world’s biggest apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma). Electron guarantees consistent rendering across all platforms because it bundles its own Chromium. Tauri is great for smaller, lightweight tools, but for complex apps that need consistent cross-platform behavior, rich Node.js integrations, and a battle-tested ecosystem, Electron is the safer, more proven choice. We can build with either.
