Tauri is a framework for building tiny, blazing-fast binaries for all major desktop platforms. Created by the Tauri team led by Daniel Thompson-Yvetot and Lucas Nogueira, Tauri pairs a web frontend (any framework) with a Rust backend, using the OS’s native webview rather than bundling Chromium.
This yields applications that ship as a few megabytes (vs Electron’s 100MB+) and consume far less RAM, with a smaller attack surface.
Build smaller, faster, more secure desktop apps with a web frontend and Rust backend. Electron alternative.
⨠Features
Apps ship as a few MB. No Chromium bundled â uses the OS's native WebView2/WKWebView.
A fraction of Electron's memory footprint. Critical for users with many windows open.
Allowlist-only API exposure. CSP-by-default. Smaller attack surface than Electron.
React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Lit â bring whatever framework you already love.
Heavy lifting in Rust. Spawn commands, access filesystem, use any Rust crate.
