Desktop Application Development with Electron for Windows, macOS and Linux
When a browser isn't enough: a desktop app with offline mode, file and device access, automatic updates and one-click installation.
A desktop app makes sense when the work involves large files, local devices or an unstable connection: accounting tools, labeling and printing utilities, clients for internal services, operator software. We write such apps in Electron — one code for Windows, macOS and Linux.
Web tech inside, a proper native app outside: its own shortcut in the system, autostart, tray mode, updates without reinstall and full access to the file system and peripherals.

What you get
- 01One build for three OSesWindows, macOS and Linux from one codebase: releases and fixes ship to all platforms at once.
- 02Data stays in your handsFiles and settings live locally on the user's machine: the app works with sensitive data without shipping it to the cloud.
- 03Auto-updatesUsers are always on the latest version: the app updates itself, no reinstall or website visit needed.
- 04Full offlineAll features work without internet, and sync starts when the network returns.
- 05Native capabilitiesPrinting, scanners, COM ports, tray, global hotkeys and autostart with the system.
- 06Turnkey installerReady packages: MSI/EXE for Windows, DMG for macOS, AppImage/deb for Linux — with code signing.
How we work
- 1
Analysis and planning
We define the app's tasks and the platform, device and security requirements.
- 2
Prototyping and design
We design the interface and architecture: modules, data storage, the update mechanism.
- 3
Development
We build the app, connecting files, devices and APIs.
- 4
Testing
We test on all target OSes and build signed installers.
- 5
Launch and support
We set up the auto-update channel and put the app into service.

The estimate depends on the number of screens, hardware integration and security requirements — signing, encryption, offline-first.

Frequently asked questions
Electron pays off when time-to-market and three platforms matter: the interface is built with web tech while Node.js gives system access. For utilities with extreme memory constraints a native path can be justified — we'll tell you honestly if that's your case.
