the intro

Tauri builds desktop apps — and since version two, mobile apps too — from web frontend code with a small Rust backend. Compared to Electron, bundles are megabytes instead of hundreds. System trays, native menus, and file access included.

fun fact ✦

Tauri apps use your OS’s own web renderer — that is why bundles are megabytes, not gigabytes.
