Tauri

Tauri allows building desktop (and now mobile in v2.0) apps using web technologies. It differs from Electron by using the OS Native Webview (WebView2 on Windows, WebKit on macOS/Linux).

When to Use

• Lightweight Cross-Platform Desktop Apps: Building native macOS, Windows, and Linux apps using web frontends and Rust backends.
• Tauri v2 Mobile & Desktop Support: Compiling unified codebases to iOS, Android, and desktop.
• Memory-Efficient Desktop Software: Tiny binary size (< 10MB) and low memory usage utilizing the system webview.
• High-Security Desktop Environments: Strict IPC permissions, cryptographic signature verification, and zero Node runtime.

Quick Start

// src-tauri/src/main.rs
#[tauri::command]
fn greet(name: &str) -> String {
    format!("Hello, {}! You've been greeted from Rust!", name)
}
