We build desktop applications for Windows, macOS and Linux using Electron or Tauri, chosen to fit your performance and footprint needs. You get signed, auto-updating builds, not a web page in a window.
What we do
Cross-platform builds
One codebase producing native installers for each platform, with code signing and notarisation handled so users are not blocked by security warnings.
Native integration
File system access, tray and menu integration, notifications and hardware access wired up properly per operating system.
Auto-update and distribution
Reliable auto-update channels and release management so fixes reach users without a manual reinstall.
Where it fits
Use cases.
Offline-first tool
We build an app that keeps working without a connection and syncs when it returns. Local data is stored safely and stays available on the desk where it is needed.
System-integrated utility
The app reaches into the file system, hardware, notifications or the tray in ways a browser cannot. It feels native on Windows, macOS and Linux alike.
Managed internal rollout
We package, sign and auto-update a tool for your whole team, so everyone runs the current version. Releases can be staged and rolled back if needed.
Capabilities
Everything it covers.
- Cross-platform builds for Windows, macOS and Linux
- Electron or Tauri chosen to suit performance and size needs
- Code signing and notarisation for trusted installs
- Automatic, secure background updates
- Deep operating-system integration such as files, tray and notifications
- Offline-first storage with reliable sync
- Small, efficient bundles where Tauri is a good fit
- Crash reporting and diagnostics to catch issues early
Typical timeline
A first signed, auto-updating release usually lands in six to ten weeks, with the exact figure depending on platform coverage and native features.
How scope works
We choose Electron or Tauri to fit your needs rather than by habit. Signing certificates and store accounts sit with you, and we set up the pipeline around them.

Type-safe, tested delivery in short increments you can see and steer.
Launch & care
We ship, hand over everything, and keep it running if you want us to.

Questions
Good to know.
How long does Desktop Apps take?
Timelines depend on scope. Most engagements run from a few weeks to a few months, and you get a firm estimate after a short scoping call.
How is it priced?
From £8,000 is an indicative starting point. Every project is quoted to the scope we agree, with no surprises later.
Do we own what you build?
Yes. You own the source code, the design files and the accounts. There is no lock-in.
Do you maintain it after launch?
We can. Hosting, monitoring and updates are available as an ongoing plan, or we hand over cleanly to your team.
