Desktop software that runs the business, not the fans.

Line-of-business desktop software in Electron, .NET, and Tauri — the tools teams leave open all day. Installers that just work, updates that happen on their own, and interfaces that respect the platform they run on.

what's in it

What we build, concretely.

Electron for web-scale UI

When your team already has web engineers, Electron ships a rich desktop app with the talent you already pay for.

.NET for Windows-first

WPF and WinUI apps that belong on a Windows shop floor: native performance, long-term support, no runtime surprises.

Tauri when size matters

Rust core, tiny binaries, minimal memory. The modern answer for tools that must stay light on old machines.

Auto-update everywhere

Signed updates that install themselves, with staged rollouts and rollback when they misbehave.

Installers & code signing

MSI, MSIX, DMG, and AppImage pipelines wired into CI — a release is a tag, not an afternoon.

Deep OS integration

System trays, file associations, single-instance locks, hardware access — the parts that make an app feel installed, not opened in a tab.

stack & standards

The stack, and why.

Electron

The pragmatic choice when the UI is complex and the team is web-native.

.NET (WPF · WinUI)

The choice for Windows-dominated fleets that live in production for a decade.

Tauri + Rust

Tiny footprint, strong core — for machines and kiosks that have better things to do than run a browser engine.

SQLite

Local data with real queries, syncing to the server when the network agrees.

Auto-update infrastructure

Signature checks, staged rollouts, and rollback baked into the build, not bolted on.

WiX · MSIX · installer tooling

Signed installers your IT team can deploy silently, without a support ticket.

how it runs

How a project runs.

step 01

Fit the framework to the floor

We pick Electron, .NET, or Tauri from your machines, your team, and your maintenance horizon — not from a blog post.

step 02

Data model first

Desktop tools live and die on local data handling, so storage and sync are designed before screens.

step 03

Weekly installed builds

You install real builds from week one, so feedback comes from usage rather than imagination.

step 04

Ship & support

Signed installers, auto-updates, and an LTS branch when the tool becomes load-bearing.

questions we get asked

Before you ask.

By constraints. Web team and rich UI: Electron. Windows-only fleet with a decade-long horizon: .NET. Old or constrained hardware where every megabyte counts: Tauri. We show the reasoning, not just the answer.

the rest of the team

Everything else we build.
