Desktop Applications

Powerful Desktop Solutions

Desktop applications are the ideal platform for projects requiring high performance and direct system resource access.

At Avunia, we develop cross-platform desktop applications with Electron and Tauri that run on Windows, macOS, and Linux:

Single codebase working across three operating systems
Web technologies flexibility with native performance
Offline-first approach for full-featured desktop experiences

Electron vs Tauri: The Right Choice

Electron: Mature Ecosystem

Trusted platform for rapid development:

Mature ecosystem with extensive community support
Thousands of ready-made plugins for quick development
Platform used by VS Code, Slack, Discord
Chromium-based rendering for web experience
Average application size: 80-150MB

Tauri: Performance-Focused

For next-generation projects:

Rust backend with 90% smaller bundle sizes (5-15MB)
Lower memory usage and better security
Uses operating system's native WebView without bundling Chromium
Ideal for resource-constrained environments and applications requiring fast startup

We'll decide together which platform is suitable for your project. We can migrate your existing Electron applications to Tauri.

System Integration

The power of desktop applications comes from deep integration with the operating system.

File and System Features

Features that enrich user experience:

File system operations and drag-and-drop support
File associations for direct access
System tray integration for background operation
Native notifications and global keyboard shortcuts
Auto-update mechanism with delta updates

Inter-Process Communication (IPC)

Secure communication architecture:

Secure, type-safe communication between renderer (UI) and main process
Enhanced security by running sensitive operations (database, file operations) in main process

Application Examples
