Ultra-Lightweight Desktop Apps Powered by Rust & Web Tech
Tauri Development Services
Tauri is the modern, security-first alternative to Electron. We build cross-platform desktop applications using Rust for the backend and React, Vue, Svelte, or any web framework for the UI. Your app ships as a 2–10 MB installer (not 150 MB+), launches instantly, uses minimal RAM, and runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. No bundled Chromium — Tauri uses the OS’s built-in WebView. The result: blazing-fast apps with native performance, tiny footprint, and Rust-level memory safety. Build faster, ship lighter, stay secure.
Our Tauri Development Services Include
We build ultra-lightweight, secure desktop applications using Tauri 2.0 with a Rust backend and your choice of frontend framework — React, Vue, Svelte, SolidJS, or Angular. Tauri uses the OS’s native WebView instead of bundling Chromium, so your app installer is 2–10 MB (not 150 MB+). Rust gives you memory safety without a garbage collector, blazing-fast performance, and a security model that sandboxes every system call.
Learn MoreWhat We Build For You with Tauri
Tauri combines a Rust backend with your web frontend to produce desktop apps that are tiny, fast, and secure. No bundled browser engine, no memory bloat, no security nightmares. Here is what we deliver.
Cross-Platform Tauri Desktop Apps
We build Tauri applications that run natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single codebase. Your frontend uses React, Vue, Svelte, SolidJS, or Angular — whatever your team already knows. The backend is written in Rust, giving you memory safety, zero garbage collection pauses, and direct access to OS APIs via Tauri’s command system. The final installer is 2–10 MB (compared to Electron’s 80–150 MB), launches in under a second, and uses 30–50 MB RAM at idle. Your users get a lightweight, native-feeling app — not a bloated browser wrapper.
SaaS & Productivity Desktop Clients
Turn your web-based SaaS product into a proper desktop application with Tauri. We build lightweight desktop clients for project management tools, note-taking apps, analytics dashboards, CRM systems, and communication platforms. Your users get a dedicated app that launches from the dock or taskbar, works offline with local SQLite or IndexedDB storage, sends native OS notifications, and auto-updates silently in the background. Since Tauri apps are tiny, users download and install in seconds — no 150 MB download, no waiting. Same web UI your team already built, now running as a real desktop app.
Security-First Enterprise Apps
Tauri was designed with security as a core principle. Unlike Electron (which exposes Node.js in the renderer), Tauri sandboxes every system call through an explicit permission model. Your frontend can only access the file system, network, shell, or OS APIs that you explicitly allow in the Tauri configuration. The Rust backend eliminates entire classes of vulnerabilities — no buffer overflows, no use-after-free, no null pointer crashes. We build enterprise tools with encrypted local storage, SSO/LDAP authentication, role-based access control, and audit logging — all running in Tauri’s secure sandbox.
Electron to Tauri Migration
Already have an Electron app that is too big, too slow, or uses too much memory? We migrate it to Tauri. Your existing React, Vue, Svelte, or Angular frontend stays the same — we replace the Electron main process with a Rust-powered Tauri backend. The result: your app shrinks from 150 MB to under 10 MB, memory usage drops by 60–80%, and startup time cuts in half. We rewrite Node.js backend logic in Rust, implement Tauri commands for system access, configure the security allowlist, and package installers for all three platforms. Most migrations complete in 4–8 weeks.
Tauri Plugins & Rust Backend Development
Tauri’s plugin system lets you extend your app with native capabilities. We build custom Tauri plugins in Rust for file system operations, database access (SQLite, PostgreSQL), serial port communication, system tray menus, global shortcuts, clipboard management, deep linking, and OS-level scripting. We also use official Tauri plugins for auto-updates, window management, shell commands, HTTP requests, and secure storage. Need custom Rust logic for data processing, encryption, image manipulation, or hardware communication? We write high-performance Rust code that your JavaScript frontend calls seamlessly through Tauri’s invoke system.
Tauri 2.0 & Mobile Support
Tauri 2.0 introduced mobile support — the same Rust backend and web frontend now compiles to iOS and Android apps alongside Windows, macOS, and Linux. We build Tauri 2.0 apps that target all five platforms from one codebase. Your app uses native WebView on each platform (WKWebView on iOS/macOS, WebView2 on Windows, WebKitGTK on Linux, Android WebView on Android). We configure platform-specific permissions, handle deep links, implement push notifications, and package for the App Store, Google Play, and desktop installers. One codebase, five platforms, zero bloat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about Tauri? Here are simple, honest answers to what people ask us most.
What is Tauri and how is it different from Electron?
Tauri is an open-source framework for building desktop applications using web technologies (React, Vue, Svelte, Angular) for the UI and Rust for the backend. The biggest difference from Electron: Tauri does not bundle Chromium. Instead, it uses the operating system’s built-in WebView (WebView2 on Windows, WKWebView on macOS, WebKitGTK on Linux). This means your app installer is 2–10 MB instead of 80–150 MB, uses 60–80% less RAM, and launches instantly. Tauri also has a stricter security model — your frontend cannot access OS APIs unless you explicitly allow each one in the configuration file.
How much does a Tauri app cost?
A simple Tauri app (utility tool, wrapper for an existing web app, single-purpose desktop app) costs $8,000–$25,000. A mid-sized app with offline storage, authentication, auto-updates, and system integrations runs $25,000–$70,000. A complex Tauri app (full SaaS desktop client, enterprise platform, multi-window productivity tool) ranges from $70,000–$180,000+. Migrating an existing Electron app to Tauri typically costs $10,000–$40,000 depending on how much Node.js logic needs rewriting in Rust. Since Tauri covers Windows, macOS, and Linux (and now iOS + Android with Tauri 2.0), you save significantly vs building separate native apps.
Do I need to know Rust to build a Tauri app?
No — you do not need to know Rust to get started. For many apps, your frontend team (React, Vue, Svelte, Angular) handles 90% of the work using JavaScript/TypeScript. Tauri provides built-in APIs for common tasks like file system access, dialogs, notifications, clipboard, and HTTP requests — all callable from JavaScript. Rust is only needed when you want custom backend logic: heavy data processing, hardware communication, database operations, or performance-critical code. That is where we come in. Our Rust developers handle the backend while your web team builds the UI. Best of both worlds.
Is Tauri production-ready? Who uses it?
Yes — Tauri is production-ready. Tauri 1.0 was released in 2022, and Tauri 2.0 (with mobile support) launched in 2024. It is backed by the Tauri Foundation (part of the Commons Conservancy), has 85,000+ GitHub stars, and is used by companies including CrabNebula, Padloc (password manager), Xplorer (file manager), and numerous startups and enterprises. The framework is actively maintained with regular releases, has a growing plugin ecosystem, and is audited for security. For new desktop projects where app size, performance, and security matter, Tauri is the leading modern choice.
How long does it take to build a Tauri app?
Wrapping an existing web app with Tauri takes 2–4 weeks. A new Tauri app from scratch takes 6–12 weeks for a mid-sized project. A complex desktop application with custom Rust plugins, offline databases, and advanced native integrations takes 3–6 months. Migrating from Electron to Tauri takes 4–8 weeks. If your team already builds React, Vue, or Svelte apps, they can start on the Tauri frontend immediately — we handle the Rust backend and system integrations. We work in 2-week sprints with regular builds you can test on all three desktop platforms.
Should I choose Tauri or Electron for my project?
Choose Tauri if: app size matters (2–10 MB vs 150 MB), security is a priority, you want lower memory usage, you need mobile support (Tauri 2.0), or you want Rust’s performance for backend logic. Choose Electron if: you need guaranteed consistent rendering across platforms (Electron bundles its own Chromium), your app relies heavily on Node.js npm packages, or you need the largest possible ecosystem and community support. Both are excellent. For new projects in 2026, we generally recommend Tauri for its modern architecture, security model, and tiny footprint. We build with both and help you choose based on your specific needs.
