Tauri

Tauri enables developers to build cross‑platform desktop and mobile applications by combining a web‑based frontend with a Rust‑based backend. It works with any existing JavaScript, TypeScript, or other web stack, allowing teams to reuse familiar frameworks while handling system‑level functionality through Rust, Swift, and Kotlin integrations. The toolkit provides commands for project creation and supports multiple package managers, streamlining the setup process.

The framework targets Linux, macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS, producing binaries that rely on the operating system’s native web renderer. This approach keeps the final application size small, often around 600 KB, and emphasizes security as a core design principle. Tauri’s open‑source code is released under the MIT license and is maintained by a community of contributors and sponsors.

Tauri is suited for developers who need lightweight, performant applications without the overhead of larger runtimes. Its focus on minimal size, native rendering, and strong security makes it a practical choice for projects that require a small footprint and cross‑platform reach while retaining the flexibility of any web frontend.
